Season 1-2 are fantastic. 4 was bad and 5 was okay. Here are my gripes. I still do not understand what the old Englishman does to really drive the story. He was there with the principles and consumed the sins of others and Dot forgives him with a biscuit. The deaths of the cop and lawyer are cheap and don't really make sense. Why did the lawyer go to Roy's house alone, why did the cop not shoot Roy? All the male characters are very stupid and challenging to watch. They also made the female leads one dimensional. Dots character was the result of an abusive relationship. Lorraine's character arc solely revolves around finding out that Dot was previously abused. The most backstory we get on Dot is an episode that turns out to be a dream. They also built up to an explosive climax at the farm but all we get is a little sparkler. The actor who plays Roy's son was very enjoyable and provided some comic relief.
