Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
View MoreThis story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
View MoreThis is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
View MoreThis is a slow moving crime drama, worth the watch. It has an Hitchcock feel to it.
View MoreWhat a shame this drama had such a poor ending. I was engrossed at the start and after the 2nd episode of this 3 part drama I was looking forward to a gripping finale. The whole series was ruined in my opinion in the last 15 to 20 minutes due to an ending that was poorly written, contradicting and made little sense.Ellen's baby was kidnapped from her home by Paula (straight forward enough) with Ellen desperately trying to locate Paula and her baby. Paula phoned Ellen demanding she meet with her if she wanted to see her baby again. That would have been a good time to let others know what is happening and where you are going... but no she didn't do that? She finds herself in a car with Paula and being forced to commit suicide in order to find out where her baby was being kept? Not a well thought out plan, but fortunately for Paula, Ellen bought it and decided to kill herself.She then swallowed some pills (presumably that would have killed her) and became unconscious for a period of time. But then miraculously made a full and speedy recovery and was able to not only activate the passenger air bag of the car using a 9 volt battery from a torch, which then smashed the windscreen (handy) but then proceeded to 'hot wire' the car by touching two wires together. What was the writer/director thinking? Whilst I'm sure this is physically possible on a 10+ year old car, it was nothing short of ridiculous and laughable.Towards the end we find out that David's wife 'Kay' thought he was having an affair with Ellen which turned out to be nonsense. In fact Paula did kill Kay 'because she was annoyed Kay kept asking about her daughter' At that point I thought why have i wasted all this time watching this program. What an pathetic, feeble story line.To top it all off the 3rd and final installment ended abruptly with no idea what Ellen was going to do for a job, or whether she reconciled things with her husband Ian. To sum up, this BBC drama should have been great but was let down in the last half an hour of the final episode. There were some good performances in parts, particularly by Vicky Mclure as Paula.On the plus side I enjoyed watching the beautiful Morven Christie. Almost made up for the ill thought out, confusing and ridiculous ending.
View MoreAn absurd thriller which gets more absurd as it goes along. At the end you might be forgiven for thinking that the twists could had been done differently.Ellen works for a successful architect's firm in Glasgow that lands a big contract but she soon gets pregnant. Ellen plans to return soon after having the baby and Paula is hired as the replacement. Paula is competent at her job and already has a 10 year old daughter. She took time out of her life to be with her daughter and be a full time parent during those early years.Ellen is disturbed when Paula insists she should not return to work so quickly and she fears that Paula has another agenda, she might be malevolent. Pretty soon Paula impresses the bosses, clients and Ellen comes across as paranoid. Ellen is even accused of violence towards Paula and even child neglect. As her relationship with her boyfriend falls apart Ellen needs to expose Paula as a manipulator but as others think, it is Ellen who might be disturbed.There is an element of Fatal Attraction here as Paula gazes at Ellen's perfect life, perfect family. The third episode should had been more intriguing but falls apart as many of the characters behave bizarrely.
View MoreThe great thing about TV in this day and age is that sometimes a show comes from nowhere and grabs peoples attention. In 2017 this show did that.With a good premise and a cast that you've likely seen in lots of other things this show brightened up dreary spring evenings with its quick turns and obsession based plot.We need intelligent TV shows like this, and on free to watch stations, rather than buried away on Netflix. I'm sure in time more people will find this on IPlayer/DVD and see what a good show it was.It's a shame that there won't be a series 2.
