Very good, all the adverts are silent, most with subtitles, emphasising deafness.

I’ve watched it all today, I think it’s brilliant. I don’t think there has been a series before with people who are deaf/hearing impaired as the main family?

I am

I don’t think we should like it just because it’s covering a subject it should cover but I do like it and I think her acting is very very good and realistic (I have a bit of a soft spot for Liam too) however I think they have gone into the fairytale realm in some of the scenes which of course is the writers fault and not the actors at all

I just watched it as fiction tbh 😀

I think Alison comes across as quite stroppy some of the time.

Says one thing and does another.

Staying the night when she said it was just a day trip. Half truths to the police.

Liam has a shifty look about him all the time.

Am I the only one still watching this week by week?

Alison arrested after her shenanigans in the hotel, and poor Ben getting shot (I knew that was going to happen when he dashed off to deal with things single handed).

I’ve never taken to Liam, he’s always looked shifty.

And Alison just seems to do the opposite of what she’s told all the time.

Silly girl.

I am enjoying it week by week. I was expecting either Rose or Liam to be a double agent. Still time.

We’re still watching it as it airs as well. I’m looking forward to seeing how it ends tonight.

BlueBelle Mon 02-Jun-25 15:28:18

Yes I m watching it week by week got to have something to look forward to
I like Liam I thought he was lovely with Rose but then I always did fall for the wrongs guys so no difference there

I agree with your comments.I tried to like it but just didn’t and once a drama isn’t believable that’s it for me.

I thought this started off well and it had a great cast but the plot got sillier and sillier. Whenever the police told "Alison" to do something, she did the exact opposite, so I had no sympathy for her at all. I stuck with it until the end, hoping for an improvement but it was a big disappointment. Maybe I've watched too many crime dramas.
