Anyone watching? Thought last night's episode was brilliant. Nicola Walker is sooooo good. Could have watched next episode so easily but thought I would be a good girl and wait until next week. Can't have too much of a good thing wink Things def hotting up I would say.

I have watched the whole thing. Once started, I couldn't stop shock

I just finished watching the whole series I just had to continue to the end,brilliant series.

kittylester Tue 03-Mar-20 14:24:59

Weve watched it all too and I to curb my disappointment when I saw it was on last night and I'd already seen it!

Brunette10 Tue 03-Mar-20 14:47:41

Ladies, good on you! I was trying to be good and save it for next week as we did before all this new technology came on our screens (red buttons etc). Would save all the angst I have inside wondering what's going to happen. I agree it's brilliant. I'm sure, however, many men and women have seen themselves in this exact position in real life. Very stressful!

We have watched the whole series too.

What a transformation for Nicola Walker compared with her carachter in Last tango. Stephen Mangan played his part so well. Christie however, I took too literally and couldn’t resist shouting at him to keep his nose out. ??‍♀️?

There really has to be a follow up series. I need to know what happens next!

Brunette10 Tue 03-Mar-20 15:09:18

Yes Kalu I also thought Stephen played an excellent role. Also like Mother and 2 sisters. Love the outfits too they all wear. I’ve made my mind up, I’m not going to deprive myself any longer, why should I wink will get on with it.

Kalu Tue 03-Mar-20 16:25:14

Go for it Brunette and I hope you enjoy every minute of spoiling yourself. Not many get a pat on the back for self deprivation?

I have just binged watched series 1 and series 2 over a few days on catch up. I loved it. Excellent acting and good insight into lawyers lives in family law for the rich!

kittylester Tue 03-Mar-20 18:19:54

I'd really like Stephen Mangan and the Nicola Walker characters get back together please.

Sparklefizz Tue 03-Mar-20 19:00:23

Stephen would never be able to trust her though, kittylester .... she even slept with Christie the night before her wedding. She doesn't have a good track record.

kittylester Tue 03-Mar-20 19:14:16

I know that sparkle but.....

Sparklefizz Wed 04-Mar-20 18:56:39

I'm free for Stephen, though (and very trustworthy!!!)

I binge watched this over a couple of nights as once I started couldn't stop.Really enjoyed it and unlike so many dramas found all the characters believable.And the opening credits make me weepy as we have 3 DDs.All grown up now but like the sisters in this so different in so many ways.But always there for each diet.Would love another series.

Washerwoman Wed 04-Mar-20 19:59:52

Each other I mean
Where did the word diet come from ?!

grannyrebel7 Wed 04-Mar-20 20:03:42

I don't do binge watching. It's like having a box of your favourite chocolates and eating them all in one go! Great series though!

Grandma2213 Thu 05-Mar-20 03:39:43

I have just binge watched what I recorded up to episode 4 and have been totally drawn in. But to me it is a fantasy world. I would never have dreamed of sleeping with the man who was actually the love of my life after I married someone else. That was even though he (my ex husband) was regularly unfaithful to me. My DC have always been more important to me than any man. Maybe I am out of step with the world.

BlueBelle Thu 05-Mar-20 05:08:02

grannyrebel it’s not you know it’s like going to the cinema
I only watched the first one and didn’t like any of the characters not even Nicola Walker who I love as an actress but I think come the weekend I ll give it another try with a binge and see if I can get into it

Teetime Thu 05-Mar-20 09:24:55

I really enjoy it but Nicola Walkers constant twitching annoys me and she is so miserable why is anyone panting with lust for her? I'd like more story lines with her mother in- a much more interesting character and actor.
I wonder why we think monogamy is the only way to be?

Lona Thu 05-Mar-20 09:37:44

I love this series, especially Stephen Mangan and he's great on Portrait/Landscape Artist of the Year too!
I don't enjoy watching Nicola Walker though, she's got such a miserable range of expressions.
The rest of the cast are interesting and I agree with Teetime about the mother.

Harris27 Sat 07-Mar-20 21:02:21

Loved it once I started watching it I couldn’t stop!

gulligranny Sun 08-Mar-20 22:37:36

Yep, we've binged watched the whole thing, absolutely loved it. Top notch, there just has to be another series if only to get a fix of lovely clothes and houses and super-sharp haircuts (except for Rose's husband James, who could definitely do with a short back and sides ....)

Welshwife Sun 08-Mar-20 22:54:20

I thought it was interesting when she told Christie last week that she chose to marry Nathan as she wanted him to be the father of her children.
I don’t like the Christie character at all.

loopyloo Mon 09-Mar-20 08:03:09

I find myself wondering who looks after the children. They appear, as if by magic, already to go to school and who is there when they arrive home?
And the front door looks very insecure. It's arched and has only one lock.
If you are having an affair surely you have your phone on silent?
And when do they get any work done?

kittylester Mon 09-Mar-20 08:19:31

Details, loopy, details! grin
