Hollington Drive

I’m thinking Helens husband must have got a golden handshake from his job in the city- unless primary head teachers salaries have gone up recently . It’s a very spacious house even if it is on a development of new builds!!

I suspect there is something on little Alex's phone, like film of his dad and Helen.
Mind you the location is so uncertain anything could happen. Didn't Helen &husband drive home after the barbecue, but they sometimes seem to live within walking distance. And who on earth is in charge of the school whilst the head swans around?

I've really been enjoying this - it's quite intriguing.

I thought they lived nearly next door Trisher not a soul in the streets of this estate no cats or dogs wandering around no kids playing bit if a ghost town
I m enjoying it warts and all

So the headmistress dun it.

Another peculiar drama, which didn’t answer many questions, about the sisters past lives and relationships.

Odd.

Absolutely rubbish.
I reluctantly stuck with it but wish I hadn’t bothered.
The best part about it was the head teachers beautiful white coat - which managed to stay beautiful & white despite being in a car crash and rolled around in the mud.

It was spotted with blood though Kandinsky

Oh right.

But I agree, we never found out about their past lives and obvious secrets.

There’s 4 hours I’ll never get back?.

I was about to say the same Sago.

Just catching up to the final part now, Thursday morning. I kept hoping it would improve. It didn't. The premise was OK but I've rarely seen worse acting. Or dialogue. Or script writing.

It was the lying around in a boat that got me, especially at the end when they seemed to move to live near a river.
Implausible, badly acted and incomprehensible. But I watched it didn't I!!!

I switched it on just to see the conclusion as I got on with my knitting. What I can't understand is how they could possibly afford to live in such an enormous house - what on earth did they do for a living?

It started well but, like many dramas these days, seemed to fizzle out. So many issues were left unaddressed too.

I agree absolutely. Managed about 20 mins this time and was nearly falling asleep so had to stop there. The dialogue in hospital was soooo sloooow it was painfully boring. The most exciting thing was when they got in the car! I feel obliged to watch to the end as I've invested too much time to stop now, but I may have to do it in 20 min blocks to keep awake. Possibly the worst series I've watched in years (can't think of another this bad though).

That one with Jill Halfpenny as an ex teacher with a missing child was pretty awful, was it ‘The Drowning’’?

And another one set in Ireland about a dead author, her husband and girlfriend, and the chap from Normal People. Cannot remember title, it was rubbish.

Well I'm glad that's over.

I didn't understand any of it

The plot might have been intriguing but it was wasted on some really good actors.........must have cost a fortune to produce considering the cast involved.
Would we all have still watched it if the two from Bletchley Park weren't in the cast? Probably not me.

Glad i didnt watch after the first episode going by these reviews. So many dramas promise so much in the ads leading up to them but fail miserably once you start viewing.

I thought there would have been a reason why the other episodes kept giving flashbacks of the head teacher's sister in the rowing boat. It seems a bit pointless showing those if no explanation was forthcoming. Pity the poor person having to share a cell with the ex-headteacher. She has such a mournful voice.

I do agree about the rowing boat flash backs.
I thought it was me missing something crucial!
The only thing I can think of is they are planning a sequel.
Which I wouldn't mind, if only to tie up the boating loose end.

A sequel would have to have a different title, with Theresa’s family having moved away, Helen incarcerated, Eddie whizzed off in his camper van, only David and little Eva left there.

Please....no sequel! I won't be watching it anyway. I agree it was a waste of good actors, and I'm surprised they agreed to do it. And I still can't hear a word AMM is whispering, have to use sub titles. Why can't she speak clearly?
