Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who loves a strong character drama. If you loved House of the Dragon or Shameless, start here.

Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 20 hours in all.
What might put you off
Nothing much for most grown-ups.

Set around the employees of Yorkshire's 'Chevin Chase Veterinary Surgery', sisters Anna and Sarah Williams couldn't be more different: hardworking mother Anna runs the clinic with her father, while glamourous Sarah left for London years ago. A wedding brings them all together, but long-simmering secrets may soon tear them apart.
