I like it, so far. Feel like its abit like Homeland, in that the actress playing the wife looks too young.

I feel Sad for the wife

LeB0F · 17/06/2012 22:49

Bit dull and angsty, I think. I wanted to like it, but it doesn't feel very realistic to me.

TheNightWatch · 17/06/2012 22:51

Is that because it's half improvised, do you think?

Didn't take him long did it? Sad

EclecticShock · 17/06/2012 22:54

I'm going to watch it on iplayer, liked the trailers.

Horsemad · 17/06/2012 22:56

I'm having a real problem with it 'cause the girlfriend looks like a colleague who has caused our workmate's relationship to collapse by shagging her husband :(

TheNightWatch · 17/06/2012 22:56

I don't suppose it could take him long it's only on for half an hour I think

How is it finished? Have I misunderstood the concept?

Was just getting into it.

pjani · 17/06/2012 22:57

I'd rather see the true love than the cheating - no doubt it's an honest portrayal but it's a bit depressing!

cerealqueen · 17/06/2012 22:57
Confused

I'm thinking it's kind of boring and a letdown. The younger sister meeting up for a chat with the former boyfriend - now happily married father of three - to tell him she doesn't want him to miss out on the perfect love with her sister... who does that?!

LeB0F · 17/06/2012 22:59

I think it is sometimes a mistake to go with improv when there isn't much of a structure to a story. In such a short time span, you rely on good writing, I think, to move things forward. This didn't really work for me- I just didn't buy the characters' motivations really, it didn't seem very believable.

HilaryM · 17/06/2012 23:00

dialogue a bit meh, presumably because it's improvised by the actors. Lots of long silences and staring out at the sea.

cerealqueen · 17/06/2012 23:01

WTF???? Me too tethersend Completely unrealistic. lets all go shag our exes and just say sorry. Pathetic.

Nancy66 · 17/06/2012 23:01

pretty poor.
the unscripted didn't work for me - felt very flat.

Hownoobrooncoo · 17/06/2012 23:03

So how dod it end? I sort of blinked and missed it, is there more to come?

slartybartfast · 17/06/2012 23:04

dont know about the improvisation. too short. i felt. although will the story carry on tomorrow. and did he tell his wife, i presume he did, and she forgave him. i thought she acted really well but i think she is brilliant anhway
and vicky mcclure. atually smiling!

slartybartfast · 17/06/2012 23:05

oh andhis work mate, do men really talk like this? i thougt it would have been more realisitic if it had been a woman talking to him.

mcmooncup · 17/06/2012 23:06

Romanticizing affairs.................yuk. All that cheesy music shit...........meh.

Disappointing.

HairyGit · 17/06/2012 23:06

As far as I know each episode is a defferent story with different actors.

TheNightWatch · 17/06/2012 23:07

The wife just knew, I thought. I'm not sure if it continues, in the tv guide they all sound like quit separate stories.

OP posts:
Bue · 17/06/2012 23:10

I think they are separate but maybe linked? Tomorrow's looked like Stacey from Eastenders again... so clearly she doesn't have the "perfect" love. I think it's goodbye to Dr Who, Lol and Mr Bates's Anna...

I've watched about ten minutes.
I know he's going to have an affair. I knew it before reading this and I'm not going to watch the rest. I can't relate to them having an affair then them calling it true love

47to31in7days · 18/06/2012 00:17

exactly tethersend about the best thing was that people Googling it may be led to True Love Waits, possibly the world's top pro-abstinence organisation...

nailak · 18/06/2012 00:41
