The ending of ITV’s Maryland has left many viewers calling for more (in between sobs), and I’m in total agreement with them…
Suranne Jones’ latest series was a masterclass in television drama, and had me gripped throughout the all-too-short three episodes.
The drama followed two estranged sisters who were forced to confront their mother’s mysterious death and double life… It was brilliantly executed and, in contrast to the likes of Trigger Point and Vigil, didn’t need an over-complicated plot.
We need more dramas like Maryland on the box, and here’s why.
Maryland ending on ITV: The cast was epic
Suranne Jones and Eve Best smashed it as Becca and Rosaline in the cast of Maryland on ITV. I couldn’t take my eyes off them both for the entire three hours. I’m pretty sure I speak for many when I say that the women were simply superb.
The relationship between the sisters was believable, searingly honest, and relatable. And actresses Suranne and Eve nailed their performances.
Not to mention the understated supporting cast, who quietly aced every scene. George Costigan, Hugh Quarshie, Dean Lennox Kelly, and Stockard Channing all shone in their respective roles.
We’re being spoilt with casts like these…
Understandably, viewers were quick to heap praise on leading actresses Suranne Jones and Eve Best. One wrote: “Watching #Maryland on @ITVX and every time I watch a show with @SuranneJonesUK in it, I fall in love with her acting talent even more!
“The story is more about sibling relationships than it is about how the mother died and this needs telling.”
We couldn’t agree more! Another said: “Suranne and Eve are just perfection together, battling one another for their mother’s affection.”
