Three Families, BBC1, review: Hard hitting and difficult to watch for all the right reasons The i 3 days ago Emily Baker © Provided by The i Three Families (Photo: BBC/Studio Lambert/Steffan Hill) It might seem strange to praise a drama for its downbeat tone and general lack of excitement. But then Three Familieswasn’t intended as throwaway entertainment. Gwyneth Hughes’ chronicling of the suffering inflected on generations of women by Northern Ireland’s oppressive abortion laws was, by design, hard-hitting and difficult to watch. The second of two episodes avoided sensationalising the experiences of Hannah, Theresa and Rosie. All three were based on real women who bore the brunt of Northern Ireland’s legacy of social conservatism until the legalisation around terminations was liberalised by Westminster in 2019.
