I'm not watching so correct me if I'm wrong but from the description, social services were very much painted as the bad guys?

Max gives articulate speech about how 'my parents aren't at war any more, but my body and brain still are'.

MrsToddsShortcut · 28/10/2018 21:58

Mum and dad no longer at war but Maxines body and brain still are. Jubilation in car (presumably blockers agreed)

NHS : can't be in place of crisis to make decisions.

Parents worried about losing Maxine to local authority.

Maxine has felt suicidal for last few years. Could have been more true to himself if not pleasing others.

Hold on, so they are concerned enough to consider an ICO, due to the parental behaviour, but if Ferrybank agree treatment, all that disappears? Really?

If NHS agree, social services wouldn't stand in want of treatment

Ah. Back to Mermaids. How to persuade the clinic that they are wrong.

Steven and mum reminiscing about early dates. Steven says he's still here. She apologises. Apologies all around. Can we work together? For her?

I know Tony Marchant is supposed to be a great scriptwriter, but this is so badly written.

BrickByBrick · 28/10/2018 21:52

Just read an article about if there will be a 2nd series. Surely ITV wouldn't commission another after such low viewing figures and if they do I can't imagine it being in a prime slot.
