I havenāt rewatched any of Shane Meadows This Is England since I published my book of analysis & appreciation last year. That project required such intense focus that I spent all my energy on the material when I completed the manuscript.
This year, during the holiday season, Iāve been thinking a lot about the third and final episode from that ā88 season. And as a gift, I will give you a free copy of the chapter I wrote for this critical episode. At this nexus point, all kinds of trauma come together in an attempted suicide by one of the primary characters, a troubled girl named Lol.
I donāt believe you will have needed to see any of this show to appreciate the drama unfolding. I hope this inspires you to seek out the rest of this show (a film and three short seasons, less than 12 hours of screen time).
This Is Englandā¦at Christmas time in 1988.
