Anyone watched it last night? All a bit different, enjoyed it.

Coolgran65 Mon 25-Mar-24 08:07:53

Definitely different. I didn't think it was really my style but would give it a go. Pleasantly surprised

I watched the first part.
confused

Only stuck with it for the first 10 minutes or so, and switched off. Described as a ‘comedy drama’, but not enamoured. Perhaps I should have given it longer.

All episodes can be viewed on ITVX, which to me often means they don’t have great hopes for it.

BigBertha1 Mon 25-Mar-24 09:23:14

I tried but didn't get it.

BlueBelle Mon 25-Mar-24 11:01:22

I didn’t try, the words comedy drama put me off, perhaps that’s me in the wrong

petra Mon 25-Mar-24 13:02:35

I gave it the obligatory 10 mins and switched off. Bad script, bad acting.
I’m a pendant for details. Has anyone, ever, seen a HG driver wrapped up for artic conditions. Why did the couples car in the car park have no snow on it despite it blowing a hooly.
The same with the young woman’s hair 🤷‍♀️

Ooh you 'pendants'!

Parsley3 Mon 25-Mar-24 21:51:01

I gave it 15 minutes and switched off. Too screechy.

Greenfinch Mon 25-Mar-24 22:28:39

I also gave it 10 minutes and then gave up. Admittedly I wasn’t really concentrating but I couldn’t make head nor tail of it. I didn’t realise it was a comedy drama whatever that is.

Louella12 Mon 25-Mar-24 22:29:59

Didn't like it at all. We managed half an hour but had to give up.

maddyone Mon 25-Mar-24 22:58:30

I watched most of it last night, but fell asleep for the last 15 minutes, probably because it was so awful. I tried again tonight, but still couldn’t bear it, so we put on Love Rat on Channel 5 catch up.

merlotgran Mon 25-Mar-24 23:02:11

I’ve watched two episodes but I’m still none the wiser. I think I’ll give up.

maddyone Mon 25-Mar-24 23:08:36

If you’ve got through two full episodes you deserve a medal merlotgran.

Calendargirl Tue 26-Mar-24 06:46:26

Yes, and to think we thought ‘Love Rat’ was bad!

grin

It was so convoluted and just didn't make any sense at all. A complete waste of time

Vito Tue 26-Mar-24 12:30:30

I watched both episodes, hoping the 2nd would start to make sense and pull the threads of the story together, I'm still confused,found it infuriating. Plus I couldn't get passed how badly dressed the DC was. Her coat and scarf were so awful I couldn't concentrate on any thing else 😅.

Me too!

dogsmother Tue 26-Mar-24 12:38:25

Watched first episode but didn’t particularly notice any comedy. Wondered if was written by youngsters for younger people than me.

silverlining48 Tue 26-Mar-24 13:07:55

I got half way through the. Second episode before going to bed.
Have no interest in what happens so won’t be using catch up.

HowVeryDareYou2 Tue 26-Mar-24 16:22:46

We watched it for about 20 minutes, and thought it might be decent as there were some well-known actors in it - David Threlfall and Sean Gilder, but we found it quite uninteresting and daft.

Gummie Tue 26-Mar-24 19:18:05

I'm part way through episode 3 and have now given up. Everyone in it is unpleasant and I don't really care what is going on.

Redrobin51 Tue 26-Mar-24 22:12:09

I managed to struggle through the first episode as it had had good reviews. It seemed very strange and convoluted and my attention kept wandering. Won't be watching any more episodes.

My dh will soldier through most dramas but even he has said he is not bothering next week.

Load of old tosh……
