Dr Foster

Having given up watching it I still wanted to see who killed who in the end. A bit of an anti-climax but I did fear for a while that they may have tried to make a go of it so there could be another series. Quite a relief when the lad took off. Good for him!

I did think at first when she put the 3 syringes in room it was for one each of them lol

Yes ShirleyW

I was hoping so. Horrible people. Then we could be sure there wouldn't be another series unless it was " all a weird dream"and non of it had happened at all.

I have only just realised there are two Dr Foster threads!!

I think I had expected a more dramatic ending. It was a sad ending all three going their separate ways. I did wonder when she reflected back on happier times whether they would get back together.

Well I fell fast asleep last night so just watched on my iPad in bed
I enjoyed it I thought it was pretty well done two egotisical and damaged parents ruining their sons life must be repeated many times over in many different scenarios throughout the world
I thought it left it completely open for another series

Yes gillybob , waste of an hour. I would think that's the end of Dr. foster isn't it? The final bit was when the boy left, what he said he'd do....can't see what else they can make another series from......I did think at first when she put the 3 syringes in room it was for one each of them lol.....

Agree with gilly and merlot
It's last episode syndrome again.

When the horrible husband was trying to throw himself under a car, the horrible doctor made the point that he would be killing others. Then we didn't hear what she said. She must have been promising that she would facilitate his suicide. She got what she deserved. She lost Tom. Until the next series?

The son had a lot more acting to do in this last episode. He's very good, I have to say. I guessed he would probably up and leave but where has he gone? There was some talk of him going back to school but she would surely have found him if that was the case. And what about the drugs in the bedroom? She presumably left them there so the ex could kill himself but was that at his request? I'm left with more questions than answers now.

Same here. It should have finished last week.

Well done, Tom. He had no future with those ghastly parents.

Just what I was thinking, gillybob.

Well that was a waste of a whole hour of my life ! What a load of absolute tosh.

In a very small nutshell, phoenix, Dr. Foster has spent the whole series heaping revenge on her lying, cheating grade 1 bastard of an ex.

Leaving out details of the sex, swearing and general nastiness towards each other, the main theme has been the effect it's all having on their unfortunate teenage son.

Last week, horrible hubby got his comeuppance and has now lost everything.....home, job, new wife and child.

Dr. F is not finished with him yet though.....The last scene was of her maybe/maybe not running him over.

It is the poor child I feel sorry for....what chance has he with two parents that are bonkers???

Not me I'm afraid phoenix, I've come over all Mary Whitehouse about this. I missed series 1 which everyone raved about, so watched series 2, episode 1 for 15 minutes. I've read the reviews since then and talked to friends about it. Nothing has influenced me to go back and watch it. I'll stop there because as we all know, if you can't say anything 'nice', don't say anything.

Now, I appreciate this is asking a lot, but I sort of saw the episode in the ex husbands new house, but wasn't able to give it my full attention (grrr!)

Is there some kind GN member who could possibly give me a sort of synopsis that might help with tonight's episode?

Thanks in anticipation!

I find it hard to watch, don't like any of the characters, she is totally nutty and unbelievable.

I find it hard not to finish watching something which is really ridiculous of me. I agree about some of the older series - I loved Wycliffe and recently rewatched some on ITV 3 when I was in bed ill

Is it just me? Probably, but I'm not impressessed with much of what is classed as entertainment at the moment. Many have plots that seem thin or unrealistic or both. As others have said, there's a trend for flitting about all over the place, mumbling, excessive background "music* and, in my opinion, too many explicit scenes that really don't add much - I feel they are put in as titilation, sometimes. I've not watched Dr Foster, didn't fancy it at all, but saw a few snippets on goggle box the other night and from what I saw (and I know they probably only pick out the 'juiciest' or most ridiculous parts), it confirmed my suspicions that I haven't missed much. Give me Morse, Endeavour or Lewis, Miss Marple, any day. (I often find myself watching repeats of these on the drama channel). I sound as if I am anti anything new. I'm not, but I like something that makes sense and that you can hear! At the moment nothing very much appeals, and don't get me going on those awful 'reality' shows. Rant over!

I've given up watching. DH didn't like it to the extent he was taking himself off into another room, and it's doing things to my mind. I don't think I like any of the characters and wouldn't give any of them house room. Can't even love hating any of them.

I actually started to like the second wife she was very calm and thoughtful when she tackled him, no madness very calm and clever

Two threads. Her father was very good, so was her mother. The second wife has turned out to be much more feisty than I thought. I didn't get the bit with the two other women in the precinct though.

Oh bother two threads. That is plains why I thought I'd lost my post

Yes I was getting confused there Merlot I knew I d posted but it had gone so thought I d inamined it so posted again only to realised we had two threads
