Yep 👍 ready looks good

[flopsyrabbit1]

yep but so reminds me of "cutting it"

[LARLARLAND]

What did she see on the phone?

[DaisyChainsForever]

I'm watching. Not sure what to make of it yet.

[Graphista]

It was a photo of her husband in bed with his pt.

Watching - very similar to cutting it. He was in cutting it too.

[flopsyrabbit1]

a pic of her DP asleep and a women awake taking a selfie together

[Graphista]

Oh please! So Robson greens character will get the blame? Nobody forced him to sleep with her.

[flopsyrabbit1]

no RG is planning on being with her,so wants the affair to start

[flopsyrabbit1]

bit predictable but will stay with it unless something great is on

[LARLARLAND]

Thanks for the replies.

[DaisyChainsForever]

Thought it was a bit slow to get to the point, hopefully the rest of the series will move a bit faster.

[Graphista]

This is my problem with British dramas generally - too slow and too short! Only 6 episodes this one.

The programme makers need to sort this out, American and even Australian are much better.

[IcedPurple]

I enjoyed it well enough and will watch again - the great Polly Walker is eminently watchable as always ... but am I the only one really bored of male infidelity as a plot device?

[Flowersonthewall]

It's cutting it but 20 years on! Very similar..set up!

[Timefortea99]

Middle aged women got a bit of a kicking. Not worth bothering with apparently after a certain age. That misogyny and the overblown characters, and the feeling I have seen it before, a turn off for me.

[UrsulaPandress]

I found it really hard work.

Very disappointed.

[Deadringer]

I liked it. I love the pace of British dramas, much prefer them to American ones where everything is thrown at you all at once. It helps that the plumber is very handsome. He can take a look at my pipes any time.

The writer also wrote Cutting It but why she decided to do a reboot of her own show is beyond me when the results were so predictable. I don't think I'll bother watching the rest of the series.

[wowfudge]

The acting in Cutting It was much better - the sisters in this are caricatures. Far too similar a concept too. DP said he thought the behaviour of RG's character was too far-fetched to be believable.

[unique1986]

I liked it more than I thought I would.

[endofthelinefinally]

I couldn't get into it. DH wanted to watch it but I lost interest.
He always has to ask me who is who and what is going on, so I doubt we will bother next week.

[LadyDuplo]

I didn't enjoy it. Slow and predictable and I just couldn't warm to the family.

[eternalopt]

Poor mans cutting it. I agree with others - why reboot your own show! Similar characters, setting and storylines! BBC could've saved a fortune and just shown the re runs.

[mydogisthebest]

I was looking forward to it but didn't enjoy it at all. It was pretty boring and, of course, the guy couldn't stop himself having an affair could he? Pathetic

[EachandEveryone]

What happened to Sarah Parrish? Havent seen her in anything for ages
