Just finished this and thought it was fantastic. Only 6 episodes.

The six-part series follows the Manchester-based Lyons family: housing officer Daniel is married to Ralph, married couple Stephen and Celeste worry about their two children, single mother Rosie is looking for a new partner, and sister Edith is engaged in one humanitarian cause after another. Presiding over them all is their grandmother, the imperious Muriel. All their lives converge on one crucial night in 2019, and the story accelerates into the future, following the lives and loves of the Lyons over the next fifteen years as Britain is rocked by political upheavals, economic instability and technological advances.

I’ve been meaning to revisit this series. It felt only slightly alarmist when it originally aired. Now I imagine it may seem tame.

Yeah tried to watch it this year. I had to turn it off, not becase it was a bad show but hit too close to home and it made my stomach turn.
