Women on the Verge

In the final episode of this sometimes sharp, often funny, grubbily real version of Sex and the City, the three friends – Alison, Laura and Katie – are each staring into their own particular abyss.

Alison (Eileen Walsh) wonders whether she and Martin will ever have children, while Laura (Kerry Condon) seems surprised that her world has imploded after she put her name to her incendiary newspaper column about her psychotherapy sessions. There’s an even more pressing concern for Katie (Nina Sosanya), who reluctantly meets again the creepy, oppressive bloke with whom she had a brief fling.

Chances are you’ve become quite fond and a bit protective of the trio, so let’s hope we see them again.
