Anyone watching Replacement I found it slow going with far too much involvement with the business side of the story I didn't feel any great connection with the characters but I m sure it's much too early to judge and I ll. stick with it the ending was scarey, I jumped
And why was the baby just left there in her basket when the police had already arrested Paula? In RL she'd have been whisked away into care before you could blink...
It was all over the place tonight. How come the blue pills didn't do the job? I presume they were meant to kill. Where was the CCTV for the stairs incident? Kay's death remains a loose end.
Rubbish ending. They tried to keep us guessing reguarding Ellen being paranoid but made us dislike Paula from the beginning. The acting was good but the plot had too many flaws. How many of us could hot wire a car? Could have spent 3 hours on a Tuesday doing something a lot more worthwhile.
ChristineFrance so glad you said that I do sometimes miss the plot but I was way off then .... how come they arrested her What a load of rubbish tonight was I was thoroughly disappointed
Cherrytree she couldn't sound the horn Paula had disconnected the electrics. Hence the torch battery to set off the air bag. I wouldn't have had a clue about hotwireing or the air bag either.
What a shame I had enjoyed the programme up to this episode. It seemed hurriedly put together with unlikely events, as others have mentioned. It was as if two episodes had been fused unsuccessfully together.
It felt to me as they had built it all up then had no idea how to finish it in one programme so rushed through some kind of ending cobbled together I really thought it was me not getting it so glad others felt the same
The end was a bit of a shambles wasn't it, but never-the-less I did enjoy the series, the acting was I thought very good. It was the whole business with the car that really spoilt it. I think she refused to have the paternity test, because if her husband loved her he would believe her - if I had been in the same situation, I most certainly would have refused.
I am so glad that everyone else who has posted found the ending rubbish/tosh. I was going to write something last night, then thought I'd wait and see what others felt. It definitely could have done with one more episode to untangle all the loose ends.
I thought it was a dreadful ending to a really promising start. It was as if they were writing it as they went along, then realised they'd only half an hour to go and threw in any daft idea that came to them just to get it over with. That car scene with pills was nonsensical in so many ways, and how did Paula even get arrested?
Enjoyed it until last episode , I thought maybe boss may have rung police after she told him to really look at Paula and he had found something on wife's phone thought car scene was over top like others I wouldn't have a clue how to hot wire and wondered how she knew to go to library ?
Oh come on it was all rubbish. And was it a bit of propaganda to stop women wanting to work when they have a baby? At the end she was totally fulfilled of course by staying at home with her child (Aargh). Why on earth was David coming down the steps to where she was sitting on friend's grave, were we supposed to think they would live happily ever after? Oh and what was the brief conversation with hubby's mum about? Watched it but kept wanting to throw things at the TV because it was so stupid!
I thought it was unbelievable from the start, but completely excelled itself when she was breast feeding the baby, returned to work immaculate, and kept on feeding despite so many traumas and leaving baby for over 12 hours. Dad still had breast milk in the freezer just before baby was pinched and mum hadn't been allowed to see her.
I enjoyed it until the last half hour of the last episode and then felt really disappointed as so much was left unanswered and unbelievable. What a shame.
