The basic premise is good. Sudden death of a middle-aged man. Wife (or partner) discovering there was a lot she didn't know about him. Some poignant moments, however, it's too riddled with silly, unlikely incidents and cliched characters. Not sure if it's meant to be serious or funny.
I thought the same, is this supposed to be a dark comedy? Alice made some really stupid comments that I'm sure a grieving widow wouldn't say. Oh hang on, they weren't married were they? Will keep watching though. Really good line up Keeley Hawes, Joanne Lumley & Nigeria Havers.
It looks like an interesting idea but who on earth lets a man build them a house without having any input at all? And if she's relying on phone banking for her own account surely she should be more au fait with it? Such a good cast I shall have to keep watching.
Does anyone else clean their teeth while on the loo? Very unhygienic. DH says the toothbrush irtitates his bladder and doing both at once saves time...yuk!
Intriguing (just about) but we were annoyed when the hospital receptionist directed Keeley to the ‘morgue’. Think she meant the mortuary.Obviously designed for American audiences. Annoying!
I could just imagine myself in that house being totally useless with the technology. There were some funny moments and several threads waiting to be pulled together. I shall continue to watch, I prefer the three consecutive night programming to weekly slots as it takes me a while to catch up again.
I couldn't hack it for long. The parents of the deceased are portrayed as doddery idiots which irritated me. Plus I'm sorry to say it I've had a bit too much of Keeley (not her husband though..)
I am not sure whether I will be watching all of the six episodes or not. I cannot stand Joanna Lumley which does not help. I agree, I also prefer watching three consecutive nights but 6 on the trot would be too much.
It is a tad strange if he has willed the house to his parents and left Keeley homeless.
