Viewers of The Split Up have all said the same thing about the new BBC legal drama, with many taking to social media to praise the series after bingeing it on iPlayer.
The BBC drama, a spin-off from Nicola Walker's The Split, follows a British South Asian family law firm, The Kishans, operating out of Manchester. The show aired its third episode on Sunday night, with the series also available to watch in full on BBC iPlayer.
What is The Split Up about?
The BBC has previously teased that the six-part series will explore "the high-stakes world of Manchester's divorce law circuit, where one family of lawyers, the Kishans, reigns supreme".
Ritu Arya takes on the role of Aria Kishan, a driven lawyer stepping into her father Dhruv's (Sanjeev Bhaskar) shoes, poised to take the reins of the family firm. While navigating fierce professional challenges, she and her two siblings are also struggling to come to terms with the loss of their mother, Raina.

Meanwhile, Aria's sister Maya (Aysha Kala) is embroiled in her own divorce battle, while Aria herself is on the verge of marriage — until a former lover re-enters her life, forcing her to question everything. As long-buried family secrets begin to surface, the Kishans' carefully constructed world starts to unravel, with everything they hold dear under threat.
The BBC's synopsis further teases: "Alongside her siblings, Maya and Kav, Aria must grapple with modern relationships and legal battles. Her professional challenges collide with her personal complications as she struggles to answer the question: who should you live your life for?"
