Hollington Drive

Nanak I m with you there I do like the ones that continue not he time to forget the plot a weeks a long time for my brain

Why don’t people used subtitles more I use them on all dramas and I don’t have a hearing problem

I often have this problem so like Curlywhirly I switch on the subtitles.

A trivial thing, but always gets me in this and other dramas, is that although they live in expensive houses often the cast are seen doing the washing up! Don’t they have dishwashers.

I'd never thought about this before, J52, but you're right! So many important conversations taking place while one's washing, one's drying.

Perhaps it's because all their expensive glasses and china can't go in the dishwasher. You'd think they'd at least leave them to drain though.

I liked it too, I wish it was going to be shown over a few days as opposed to weekly (only because I will forget what is going on )

I quite liked it too, but struggled to hear the dialogue of Anna Maxwell Martin - had no problem hearing the other actors. If I am watching something I am quite interested in, I usually put subtitles on anyway.

Oh I liked it I really thought it was good I always have subtitles on so never have a problem with dialogue
I must be the only one but I m looking forward to the next episode

Not for me.

I turned off after 10 minutes. I had a good book waiting.

Couldn’t hear what they were saying either, I eventually worked out which child belonged to which adult.

Ilovecheese

Another one who couldn't hear what they said. I wonder how they got the houses to look so strange, like dolls houses, really creepy.

I think many of them were just actual models, not real houses at all. They did look creepy.

I found it frustratingly slow and confusing.

Thank goodness for subtitles!

Felt disappointed could hardly hear the sound and considering another week for episode two when some other series episodes have shown on following nights will most likely give this one a miss.

Isn't Rachel Stirling like her Mum (Diana Rigg)? I did a double take.

I hope it livens up as I'm really confused.

The little girl thought I recognised was in The Haunting of Bly Manor

I also was thankful for subtitles because the speech was poor. I cannot see how there will be another 3 episodes.

Apart from the headteacher nobody appeared to work so how they bought and maintained their large houses is beyond me.

Anna Maxwell Martin was a single parent and did not appear to work.

I thought the children were too young to go to a park, which was not next door, to play. A responsible adult should have been with them.

I watched it, but nodded off a time or two, so missed some of the storyline.

Still not quite sure which child belonged to which parent? I assume the older girl was the child of one chap, the boy Ben belonged to Anna MM, and the little girl was Rachael Stirling’s?

I think AMM is a good actress, but often plays these intense, troubled characters. Gets a bit samey.

Think 4 episodes might end up as one of those dramas with a daft plot.

Just like to add if you liked Broadchurch, you might like this. It had a similar feel.

Anna Maxwell Martin!!

I always have the subtitles on, so didn't notice if this program was worse than others.
I really like the actress from Bleak House and Motherland (stupid me I cant remember her name) so I tuned in because she was in it.
I didn't knit whilst it was on, so I could concentrate better.
I liked it.
I think it has potential.

I shan’t bother either now.

Oh dear. I'd recorded this. Don't think I'll bother to watch it.

Gave up after 25 minutes, the two children were allowed to go to the park for half an hour, then the woman got in the car to go and get them? No idea who were the parents either?

I do not think I will persevere with this series.

I, too, couldn't hear what they were saying, so switched off after about 20 minutes. Shame, really, as the write up looked promising.
