The Driscoll family are forced to leave Port Talbot, and forced to leave Wales itself, after they find themselves heavily caught up in protesting a potential shutdown of The Port Talbot steel works.
A very poignant drama for this point in time, the works is indeed the very heart of Port Talbot, and right now where its very future is in jeopardy, it's relevant.
Episode one was very straightforward and easy to follow, episodes Two and Three however are very much off the wall. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, and I understand why some people have disliked it, I however, really enjoyed it.
As I watched, it put me very much in mind of a sketch The worm that turned, in which men Did all made to wear dresses, ruled over by women, and try to escape into Wales. It really is that zany.
The acting is tremendous, and there are some big names, Aneurin Bernard, Luke Evans and Sheen himself, but I'd argue it's Mali Harris and Steffan Rhodri that steal it.
I honestly think this is one of those shows that will garner further appreciation years down the line. One of those I'd like to think that's ahead of its time.
7/10.
