The Accident has left viewers in shock over its harrowing domestic abuse scene.
Sarah Lancashire stars in the new Channel 4 drama as the hairdresser Penny, and is seen beaten to the ground by her husband, Iwan Bevan (Mark Lewis Jones).
The couple are coming to terms with the fact their 15-year-old daughter, Leona (Jade Croot) was involved in an explosion, which claimed the lives of a number of children.
But while they try and work out what happened to the group of teenagers, things got a whole lot darker.
Taking to Twitter fans at home expressed their views on the show and how they were shocked at the brutal scenes.
‘Wow that’s one f**ked up relationship!’ one wrote while another added: ‘Is she normal? I’d kick him to the kerb.’
Someone else commented: ‘I’m sorry but I’m not sorry. What the actually F**K was that?! Turning off permanently. Totally unnecessary violence, abuse, and she hugged him? Not watching again.’
Others appeared to be in agreement: ‘Well this got grim really quickly.’
The Accident, written by Jack Thorne, looks at the fall out after a tragic event in a small Welsh community.
It is the third and final part in Jack’s trilogy of dramas following National Treasure and Kiri.
The three dramas cover important social issues: gender, race and class, with this one starring Joanna Scanlan, Mark Lewis Jones and Sidse Babett Knudsen.
It is set in the made-up Welsh town Glyngolau, and the Happy Valley star has got the accent spot on.
In order to make sure she was on point, Sarah has confessed that she spoke with a Welsh accent onset and even at home with her family over Christmas last year.
She explained to press: ‘Six months of Welshness with my family and everything.
‘They’re so used to it. That’s the downside of living with an actor is that you live with their work as well. It’s quite normal in my house.’
The Accident continues next Thursday on Channel 4.
