Finding Alice

I must admit I like this although it seems a dragging a bit towards the end. Not many adverts in between
Not like some programmes. I have just watched Dr. Foster., that was good watching. I wish they would put more comedies on, as I think we can all do with cheering in these times.

Cheering (up) (sorry missed the up off

Watched episode 2 on catch up.

Thought it was a load of rubbish really.

There’s such a thing as dark comedy, but to me this was just plain daft.

We watched some of part two last night then gave up.

What a waste of good actors.

I also cannot see the black comedy in it. To me, it is so unbelievable.

It was disappointing despite the cast. Poor script. I think there will be a second series.

I am trying to stick with it , I would have liked Joanna Lumley to have had more lines, I feel she and Nigel Havers could have had more impact if they had ,

I watched all six episodes in case it improved but I agree with comments that it was a load of rubbish and a waste of good actors. I won’t be hoping for a second series.

It’s not gripping me at all I’m afraid.
Too many ridiculous characters & plots.

Have to confess I'm struggling with it. So far from reality that I can't get my head round it. I know it is only fantasy and I usually liked to be stretched but I need a bit of something recognisable to bedrock on I guess. I will watch one more episode......

I watched all episodes waiting for it to get better, I won't watch a second series.

The second episode was disappointing I thought, there is some promise in the ideas but they don't seem to come through on screen. I thought Havers and Lumley seemed very flat and one dimensional.

I don’t find myself wanting to see the next episode with anticipation as the storyline is too slow.
I do want some curtains I can shout at “Curtains close”.
The rest of that strange house I’d be glad to leave.

I read over the weekend that the shots of the house exterior are of an actual house in Farnham, but the inside shots are a mock-up in a studio - that would explain how those lethal stairs were allowed!

I sometimes think these dramas would be better off having relatively unknown actors - actors who might give it a bit more wellie ( so to speak ) Joanna Lumley & Nigel Havers look like they’re just doing it to pay a bill & couldn’t care less really.
But I suppose they need the big names to draw people in.
Maybe the director is just not that great?
Massive waste of talent going on though.

I enjoyed every minute of last night's episode; very surreal, but with closely observed characters. I liked the little touches; Joanna Lumley's sharp looks at her granddaughter throughout the funeral, her reluctance to clap (I'm with her there, ghastly habit), the ebullient sister-in -law, the relationship between Gemma Jones and her bullying husband. the concern of the celebrant. The family's real grief came across strongly; the plot remains a mystery, but I love the acting.

We’ve watched 4 episodes so far and DH gave up in the middle of the last one. I’ll watch another while I’m ironing later but have to admit I’m losing interest a little. Wouldn’t watch a second series. I do like Keeley Hawes usually but am finding her character just a bit unbelievable.

I sort of liked it. The idea of the funeral at home is interesting although we have both decided on no funeral of any kind. Joanna Lumley is fabulous reminds of my sister- emotionally flat.

I quite enjoyed it and felt there were some funny lines. I'll stick with it to see how it progresses.

Who on earth would have a house built for them without apparently ever seeing it. Where were they supposed to be living while it was being built? No sign of her moving a houseful of stuff into the new one so is she still paying rent somewhere or paying off a mortgage? She seems to have no in come of her own. If her husband gave the house to his parents shouldn't they be having meetings with solicitors to sort this out? he must surely have signed some sort of agreement with them. Again who behaves like this? "Sorry dear, I've built you a lovely house, only it isn't yours because if I die it's going to my parents"

Disappointed with it, some good actors but such a silly story line.

If this is funny I must have never had a sense of humour can’t bother with it any more amazed at such ‘famous’ people have accepted roles either desperate or seeing something I m not Lost on me I m afraid

Glad it’s not just me who doesn’t find it in the least funny.

‘Tasteless’ is how I’d describe it, from relatives wandering around the mortuary viewing the deceased whenever they feel like it, the mortuary attendant’s wooly hat and scarf adorning the corpse, a motley selection of folk rocking up with the coffin balanced precariously on the car, the grieving widow digging the grave in the night atop a mechanical digger.....

I just wonder how anyone recently bereaved feels about all this, assuming they are still watching.

I only saw the first one last night so have not read others views. I must admit I found it funny and interesting and looking forward to watching part 2.
