Ta.
It's another one of those TV dramas where none of the characters seems to display any normal human characteristics, therefore making it impossible to care about them. Let alone to be enlightened in any way on the "human condition", which is the essence of all drama.
(Doc Martin excepted of course)
Had hoped for better
Did like the evening standard cartoon rip off with TM in car and Bojo in the road though!
the wife & I just started watching the first series. blimey!! doesnt half make you squirm!! even with a clear conscious! imagine trying to sit through this with your mrs if you'd ever been up to no good...!
Talk of a third series where we will probably find out that Tom has been living in the loft for the last 30 years ....
We found ourselves laughing at the bits that were supposed to be the most emotionally charged - they were just too absurdly ott.
That cringe worthy speech at the end.
I was hoping the other wife was going to have a big part to play in the last episode (she suddenly looked interesting in the penultimate one) but as above, very disappointed in the last episode – it's just been set up for the next series trying to find the son again rather than finish this story.
A massive let down. In the first episode when you saw his mahoosive house, complete with swimming pool, Mrs Binners remarked "they wouldn't be showing you that unless he's going to be found floating face-down in it in the final episode"
I is disappoint! 🙁
Why does every programme that starts off well (first series was good) then feel the need to milk the law of diminishing returns by leaving it open for another series instead of resolving it in any kind of meaningful way
Is there much of an appetite for '2 people who hate each other have a competition to see who can look the most mentally tortured while looking for their missing son'?
Even the son (especially the son?) was a royal PITA. The only high point was the new wife's excellent side-boobage at the wedding.
especially the son?
He was a little shite wasn't he? He also looked like a young Kevin Bacon.
That cringe worthy speech at the end.
...really kinda wrapped it up on a bum note.
Far too much suspension of disbelief required to appreciate the lead characters actions.
About episode 2 I figured the son would top himself at the end, probably in that massive swimming pool. Mind you that would have removed series 3 from the funding queue, so with hindsight running away was quite predictable.
Bertie Carvel did a good job with the script he had, as did son and new wife was good in episode 4. Didn't go a bundle on Suzanne Jones leering/scowling method.
Very disappointed.
A hy(undai) speed Simon / vehicle interface would have been good but the final episode would have been two minutes long. A bad thing....?
Suranne Jones appeared to have trapped wind for five whole episodes.
Liar (ITV drama) on the other hand is in a different class.
I thought Ep5 was pretty good considering the craziness of Ep1-4. Tension in the first half and nobody dying in the second half - breakfast scene was a great mixture of anxiety, mood and black humour. Parminster looks ace for a short break.
Its been set up for 3rd series methinks.
Enjoyed 9:45 of it (didn't see first time round) but that ending was limp. Could have been any combination of deaths but instead the whiny kid runs off? Good riddance. Can't see anyone wasting too much time looking for him.
More depressing crap.
Why does the BBC and ITV keep churning out dramas and soaps about death, sickness, rape and infidelity?

Just a wild blundering stab in the dark here, but perhaps it's because people watch them?
Liked it how he was kicking the crap out of the drivers door. Then miraculously she's driving it around minus dents.

In this weeks exciting new drama Doctor Foster bakes a lemon drizzle cake and has a neighbour round for a chat and a nice cup of tea. Tune in next week to see her pruning the roses while her husband watches a documentary about sharks 😀
If you're going to post the upcoming plot of the archers you could at least put "spoiler" at the top.

LOL!!!!!!

That's a euphemism, yeah?

They clearly had a 'dent man'. Don't you?
Thought she would be too busy drinking white wine and plotting revenge to get the door fixed.
Right I’m off to write a TV drama about mtbrs who dont actually ride. It’ll be a hit, wait and see.

One and the same thing really
I thought it was OK, worth watching.
