I Am Victoria - anyone watched it?

I am watching it and it is making me feel a bit sick. Because I see a lot of myself in the character (middle aged, too much on her plate, anxious, strange relationship with partner/DC) but also she seems exceptionally controlling. Anyone else have anything to say about it? Just interested in others opinions. I am also dreading the next bit (adverts on now). Its almost lile I watching a horror film.

I assumed she had OCD but it wasn't very clear. Definitely a strong need for her to try to be in control. Suranne Jones was excellent, but to be honest I preferred earlier series with episodes with Vicky McClure and Samantha Morton.

Suranne Jones was excellent as ever. I thought it was a fairly interesting watch. The portrayal of mental illness was good and the point was clearly that it can affect anyone, regardless of relationship/ family/ home etc. I prefer series generally than these one offs but the acting is good.

I love Suranne Jones in everything but for me this was lacking in storyline. I would have liked to have known a bit more about what was sending her that way. It could have been more of a voice about the various pressures women today are under.

I felt sorry for her.
Her sister was a sponger and fairlt vile to her.
