The Accident Ch4

Just watched it tonight but will reserve judgement till the next episode - it all seemed a bit jumbled at the beginning.

Yes I had difficulty with the dialogue as well Charleygirl, the Welsh accent didn't help either. It was all a bit strange, I will watch the next episode before deciding whether to continue or not.

I found it very disturbing. The benchmark for what is acceptable entertainment seems to have changed.

Yes, I am a bit unimpressed too. I watched a recording, and had to rewind it after half an hour as I'd lost the plot/lost interest. I was knitting, but nothing complicated, so my mind must have wandered whilst watching.

I agree about the violence (although luckily I have no experience of that). I think that the way she comforted him afterwards was unconvincing.

Sometimes a series takes time to bed in, so I will give it a chance - I gave up on the social worker one, too.

I watched the first half an hour and I doubt if I will continue. I had difficulty, even with subtitles, working out what people were saying because to me they were mumbling.

I love Sarah lancashire as an actress and was looking forward to this one very much I hope it gets better as I wasn’t very impressed The scene where the husband beat her was so unreal I ve lived in a violent situation and it didn’t ring true at all I shall definitely keep going and fingers crossed it improves I also thought the scene of her with her daughter in the hospital with the deaf woman interpreting the daughters eye movements was quite bizarre

I watched The Accident last evening on ch4: I am a big fan of Sarah Lancashire, especially Happy Valley, but I was not terribly impressed last evening! Far too many subplots and hidden agendas to start with and, as usual with Ch4 , and too many adverts. I might give it a final chance next week!

Giri Haji for us. Have recorded it but did wonder if I'd like it. Maybe not?

I watched the documentary about Prince Charles, felt it would be more restful! Didn’t fancy this programme at all, I started watching the last one with Sarah Lancashire when she was a social worker I think and a child went missing or killed, but gave up on it, I’m afraid I prefer her in something like Last Tango.
