[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 44053, member: 68"] Yea she was great too, as was her other friend and that girl from Downton Abby playing the police officer. Like I say I just wish it had have been longer. There's a lot about the story that wasn't explained. Probably because the police themselves never got to the bottom of it all. Watching it you had to think that Karen had some kind of learning difficulty. And then at other times she seemed clever enough to know what the police wanted to hear. She should have had more help from her family and from social services. There were obviously problems there that nobody seemed to care about. Though we never see her family in the show and so we have no idea what they are like. They could have been highly dysfunctional themselves. It wasn't mentioned in the show but the actress playing Karen was clearly playing someone who was munching prescription drugs everyday. When the police initially interview her, she either isn't aware that she has 7 kids or just doesn't care. Thinking about my own family I couldn't imagine my mum at all if she thought that her grandkids were even slightly in danger or at risk. She's have moved herself in with Karen or taken the kids herself. What really stood out to me when watching was that her kids were not in the slightest important to her. She didn't seem to have any time for them. They didn't have any personality and she didn't seem to recognise any individuality in them. They were just there like all the crap in the kitchen.
