I don't usually bother reviewing episodes of any series because they are just part of an on-going show. But, One Day had me teary-eyed for almost the entire story. It was a tough tale about a care-giving home and since there have been quite a lot about ill-treatment and abuse in the past couple years in such places the story was very relevant. It was a hard show to watch because of the abuse, but also because of the apathy and disregard for human life and wellbeing.

This however shouldn't come as a shock because we are a very inhuane modern culture. Just look over the past decade and you will notice, if you allow yourself the time to look, that we have lost that part of ourselves that make us, what we believe to be, human. A person who cares about the wellbeing of others and therefore is concerned of the treatment of those who can't voice or convey their needs and feelings in a way we can understand. Or, rather that we care to take the time to actually listen because it would inconvenience us.

I am so amazed at the care taken by the writers to actually tell a story that shined a light at all the various side characters and views.

Also, we get a look at Clarissa's backstory. Thank you for this dear writers.
