Too Close.

Well, I think it is excellent!

I m loving it and think it’s wonderfully acted but I do agree Granmamet it’s not at all what would happen between psychiatrist and their patient I have a close family also in the field who was fairly shock with the inaccuracies but that person is still watching because they think it’s a good drama using artistic license
I m really enjoying the twists and turns looking forward to tonight’s episode

I’m looking forward to tonight’s episode and it should tie up all the loose ends .?
I did think there would be more security , but it is a drama and much better than the recent dramas that have been on.

Gave it 20 minutes, then gave up.

I’m part way through episode 2. The two female leads are superb
Dramatic licence of course but as others have said, secure psychiatric units, psychiatrists don’t work as portrayed
Ellianne - the drive off the bridge wasn’t ‘to spite’ anyone. I suspect part of a psychotic breakdown

I wrote in my OP ‘bit weird’.

Yes, definitely.

Good acting by the two leads, but the best thing about it was Skeeter Davies’ great song.

I thought it was really well portrayed tbh and GP's do need to be careful about what they prescribe. I self harmed after being prescribed paroxetine ( a long time go) and have never self harmed before OR after stopping taking it, it made me really unwell.

It was BRILLIANT and fantastic acting
Loved it and sad it’s done but I do like the episodes in a row I haven’t got time to forget it

I know I've rather over simplified the whole drama there

I thought I knew the name!

That was quite an eye opener.
Excellent acting all round.
So can anyone explain what would happen to her in real life in the long term?

Just started watching the first episode. I'm rather enjoying it.

A proper ending! It was very emotional and harrowing but such excellent acting and so well told. Both women deserve an award for their work.

Hear, hear

Hard watch but worth watching.

I'm still working my way through this, but am finding it really annoying that a professional person would be portrayed in that way. She comes across as very weak and easily manipulated. She allows the patient to take control of the sessions, asking her personal questions instead of the other way round. Echoes of Silence of the Lambs I thought, and the relationship between Hopkins and Foster, where he tries to take control.

I really enjoyed this and I am glad I stuck with it as the first episode was so unpleasant. However, the mistakes were glaring. A professional would not take a bag, phone and lighter into a secure unit. That was artistic licence. The ending was very satisfying though as it tied up all the loose ends.
