I didn't find the Lou Kelly scene too shocking because we knew she was going to do something desperate.
The most menacing for me was the Neil Murray night time strangling, the whole atmosphere was creepy.
But of all PCBH scenes, the most brutal for me in terms of emotional reaction are Colleen's family being blown up , her reaction and Judith's acting was superb.
Prisoner didn't shock me with violence, but it shocked me how it could gut punch me emotionally when I didn't expect it, such as:
* Rita talking with Tom and turning her cancer into an analogy of what it's like to drop a bike
* Lizzie losing sid / lizzie's exit from the series and Judy's scene packing up her things / Lizzie's reacting to Maxine's death/Her talk with Maxine about losing her children etc
* Hazel Kent's death
Such a wonderful show which I am rewatching for the 15th time...
