l couldn't find a thread on this show.Anyone seen this UK drama called the street? l watched one of the eps on-line though ABC,l thought it was alright l'm starting to like more and more UK/BBC shows.what l can see its based on a street hence the name and they base a ep or so and each house in the street on there problems/dramas etc.

Excellent show, as you'd expect from Jimmy McGovern.

Towards the end it trailed off in quality but the first two seasons were simply outstanding examples of quality, if humble, English drama.

Timothy Spall and Ger Ryan were both superb through their runs and it was pretty cool seeing Lee Ingleby, aka Bacchus from George Gently, playing a real scumbag.

The episode about the abusive husband was one of the most gutwrenching hours of TV I've ever watched.
