True Love, what are we thinking?

[TheNightWatch]

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

I would do that...

Did he actually give her the money?

WTAF! Is that it? Has it got it out of his sleazy system now?

Lst :(

IceLolly- I've never been in that situation. But I would never be strong enough to be on my own..

Well I'm crossing my fingers you never find yourself in that scenario.
Being on your own has its own rewards. Who knows really until you are there.how you'd react?

David Tennant's children were called Darren and Lorraine

what a load of rubbish. it was shite. totally unbelievable. I didn't believe any of the characters 'I love you' come ooooon. He just wasn't credible at all

so disappointing

Missed the beginning...how did he meet the blonde?

It's not on for long is it

Ashley Walters is shaggable

He saw her at a bus stop & they had eye contact,waves & then he chalked up meet me...at the bus stop.

Is it just me or is it really not surprising the scriptwriter is male? Two samey samey stories. Completely unbelievable characters. A short time slot, so we really don't have the build up (in terms of plot or dialogue) to invest in the characters. And agree the improv hasn't really worked - the script really needs to be tighter. But fundamentally, the plot really does not suit the timeframe. Really disappointed, all in all. Can only hope the remaining eps are worth it.

It is a good idea in need of a script. The improvisation is just not good enough. And so far the wronged women have been so so compliant

I felt it was better tonight but still disappointing. I should have tried that in my single days "I love you,my mum owes 5k"
I haven't ever sized up a carpet right salesman as being a good prospect for a few grand.

oh thanks Ice...I just saw it where they met on the seafront and she said "Hi I'm..." and then they were in a room shagging.

The acting is terrible and, I dont think its because its improvised.

I dont rate Billie Piper either and Ive got to sit through a full hour of it tomorrow. I will see it through until the end!

I'm not sure I want to watch tomorrow's. I already feel irritated that the preview is portraying a class of teenagers chanting "Lesbian" repeatedly at a teacher as perfectly feasible.

Just watched both on iplayer. I loved the advert for this. How let down am I?!
Is this Valid Reasons For Cheating On Your Wife (forgiveness guaranteed)? So its ok to have an affair if the love of your life randomly reappears? Or if your wife isn't fancying much sex with you? And how likely are either of these scenarios. If a love from 17 ago years turned up at my work, I wouldn't even feel I knew them! And they probably wouldn't look exactly the same, what tosh.

I think there are some cracking actors here and I've enjoyed watching them but the stories, improvisation and holey plot are frankly pretty poor. Affairs in relationships are complex, painful destructive things and would provide a much deeper and thoughtful plot than the one dimensional 30 minutes here. What a shame. And the music got on my tits.

What a letdown last night's one was.

And I bloody love AW, usually. He is ridiculously sexy and usually gives a really deep, nuanced performance and is stupidly hot as I said previously. But this was just...crap. A rehash of the previous night's storyline. And my god, the dialogue is just CRINGEY. You can tell it is all improv. Hideously bad. And the characters are flimsy. And I didnt believe for one second AW fancied Jaime Winstone. And..and..and...just really poor.

I think the mkers of this think it is clever and arty, but it just comes across as a crass amateur affair and an apology for creepy, married shaggers. Oh dear.

I a deffo watching Billie Piper's schoolgirl lez one, though .

Alison Graham is brilliant in this week's RT about lazy drama 'for women' to distract the non football watching masses. She is very good.

I stuck with it although I'm not sure why....was like a GCSE Drama production.

he IS hot though

I just cant take to Billie. I feel like Ive condemmed it already

If we have to have any more of that soundtrack and grey skies, Ill have to open a second bottle of wine.

I dont know who thought thirty minutes was a good time slot. Ive seen more action in an episode of Corrie.

I thought both of the episodes were very poor improvisation or not! Scripts the same, endings rushed and no arguments from the wife.

Will watch tonight's one tomorrow on iplayer if I feel inclined.

IT's a kernel of an idea crying out for a decent script so far.
Big problems with the casting for me - twice so far 'other women' are far less attractive than the wives, making it even less convincing as a scenario. I can't get beyond the fact that nobody is ever around to witness the cheating either. Club scene v cringey.
But obviously I will be watching them all, if only to see how they link up.

Just finished watching the second episode and agree its disappointing. For me it's not so much the acting but the sentiment. Man cheat, women forgive. So samey as previously said.

won't stop me watching again and hating myself for it

Agree re Alison Graham - she was rather piercing about improvisation - there's a reason why scriptwriters exist.
