What did you all think? I was a bit disappointed Blush thought they ended it quite badly and in a really clichéd and melodramatic way.

I thought the whole thing was a pile of crap, the final episode and the ending was dire. Very disappointed.

ComingUpTrumps · 04/10/2017 13:29

Bumping - what did everyone else think?

anti climax totaly, I think if it had ended with ep 4 then it would've been better.

Joeymaynardslimegreendress · 04/10/2017 13:43

Ever watched it as it clashed with bakeoff but dh did as he likes a bit of raunch Grin and he was very disappointed.

PandorasXbox · 04/10/2017 13:44

It was depressingly bad. Felt so sorry for Tom having to listen to his fuckwits for parents blathering on.

The part where they were arguing by the motorway - by that point I'd have been happy for them both to have been hit by the traffic.

krustykittens · 04/10/2017 14:06

I thought it was ridiculous and over the top. I hope they don't try and squeeze a third series out of it.

Heavensabove3005 · 04/10/2017 14:08

So disappointing, obviously ended that way ready for the next series but I doubt many will bother watching.

smellybeanpole · 04/10/2017 14:09

I liked it. Yeah it was slightly over the top and bit cringe. But still made good tv.

Dairymilkmuncher · 04/10/2017 14:11

Terrible. Should have ended two episodes ago or for them to have been knocked down last night wouldhave been good

ScipioAfricanus · 04/10/2017 14:11

Can I ask, what did people like about the first series? This is a genuine question: my husband and I seem to be the only people who didn't think that was any good either. I watched the first one and then carried on watching in bemusement as all my friends were raving about it on Facebook etc. Haven't watched this one but I remain convinced I must be very odd.

JanetStWalker · 04/10/2017 14:13

I wanted him dead. Gutted.

Tried to watch the first episode but had to turn it off before the end. Could not believe Whatsername actually went around to the Ex's house to that party and turned all psycho, stalker, madly in love with him again.
It just didn't make sense. She was worried about the son Tom having a glass of wine, but not at all worried about the effect her being a crazed psycho had on him. I'd didn't blame any of her friends for going to the party in the first episode, behind her back because obviously they are all tiptoeing around her, because she's unstable and unhinged.
Talk about asking for trouble, taking on all this revenge crap with absolutely zero regard for her son. The pair of them should be locked up and the son given to someone who actually cared about his wellbeing.

EB123 · 04/10/2017 14:17

I think it should have ended last week.

JaneEyre70 · 04/10/2017 14:17

I loved the 1st series, but this one was a poor excuse for prime TV. Poor script, characters were hugely unlikeable and a waste of time and money. Please don't let them drag it out for another one........

volovont · 04/10/2017 14:19

It was absolute pish

fikel · 04/10/2017 14:22

Ridiculous, very poor on plot line. Absolute zero sympathy with any of the characters, got v boring watching them take it in turns to try and destroy each other. I laughed when she left the needles in the hotel room and then came back again to harp on at him again !’

washingmachinefastwash · 04/10/2017 14:24

They should have ended it when Kate left him.

rightnowimpissed · 04/10/2017 14:25

They are doing a third they said at the weekend

youhavetobekidding · 04/10/2017 14:27

I thought Tom was the only character I felt any empathy for, so I thought it was a good ending, as I'm keen to hear how things turn out for him

LoveNunxxx · 04/10/2017 14:32

for gawd sake, all that tussling in front of the cars, I was hoping they'd both get run over and leave me in peace.

papayasareyum · 04/10/2017 14:34

it was utter garbage. It was badly written, badly acted (except the actress who played Kate) and badly ended last night. Awful.

PoppyPopcorn · 04/10/2017 14:34

They should never have made a second series. Huge disappointment throughout.

operaha · 04/10/2017 14:35

I hated the whole season so was quite pleased with the way it turned out.

Did turn off at the end saying thank fuck thats over. Dh really enjoyed it

Dairymilkmuncher · 04/10/2017 14:36

Tom was the worst Hmm he was super rude and dramatic always storming off and then turned a bit rapey
