Add me to the list of those who disliked it but watched it, and who have no intention of watching a second series. I wish I'd dropped it after the first episode. Keeley Hawes character was so annoying, I wanted to sympathise with her but couldn't. I just felt sorry for the others having to put up with her. And finally, attempting to have a baby in the middle of all the chaos was the final straw. If I watch any more I will want to slap her. Thank goodness the first series is over and I can put it behind me.
Me too. Some series as they come to an end you find you’ve really engaged with the characters, care what happens to them and can’t wait for the next series ( I feel like this about Call My Agent) and then series like this where at the end you’ve had more than enough of them. I think I’m enjoying dramas now with beginnings middles and ends and about 4-6 episodes long. Just really enjoyed Quicksand in this category.
There were two series of 'Home Fires' and I loved them. It had a good storyline and characters, the sets and costumes were great. I engaged with the characters and cared about them. Then at the end of the second series an airplane crashed into a house and that was where it ended. They left us on a cliff edge and decided not to make another series! I was so disappointed especially as it hadn't had a proper ending. If only that had carried on and not this one.
I really enjoyed Home Fires and was upset when it just stopped. I wanted to know if anyone survived the crash and if that poor woman ever saw her Polish boyfriend again. The awful Alice wasn't in the same class at all. I didn't even realise I was watching the final episode because nothing was resolved at all.
My daughter and I kept watching thinking surely it will get better. I don’t think it ever did and I thought how she treated her daughter was appalling . It’s all me me me . I think there will be another series with that ending but I don’t think I’ll be watching it!
Like many others on here we watched it to the last episode but were disappointed and wouldn’t watch another series. The characters were all just a bit odd and not quite believable - her husbands sister, her parents etc. All in all a bit of a dud series.
