At its core, it’s a family drama that brings in questions of forgiveness, the tricky relationship between the past and the present, and the human hunger for being both bound and free. It’s also a great opportunity to admire two of the finest actors from across the pond.

Credit to the writer Anne-Marie O'Connor for creating (with Jones) something that doesn't need tired violent tropes for its energy and plot, but uses the simpler, perennial themes of sibling rivalry, secret yearnings and unfulfilled potential.

Maryland has just enough bite to break the mould. It won’t be a Tuesday night revelation but, in what is proving to be a Golden Age for middle-aged female actors on the small screen, Maryland is neatly packaged and infinitely watchable.

This is an intelligent, restrained drama about the ties that bind.

Maryland confounds your expectations and is all the better, all the more credible and all the more moving for it.

A disarmingly thoughtful show, deliberate in its messaging and affectingly involved with inter-familial relations, primarily between sisters. .... Directed by Susan Tully, beloved for her role on the original decade of "EastEnders," the series boasts two remarkable performances. .... What is less convincing are the reactions of each sister to various disclosures about mom's history and/or demise. Once we are past a certain point in the story, there seems little more that can shock, but each actress gets an opportunity to wax indignant, which feels like exactly that, a showcase.

In tackling issues around grief, trauma and familial bonds with such nuance and grace, the drama builds up a lot of good will. It is therefore somewhat a shame that the ending feels a bit of a letdown.
