Odd time slot but sounds similar to Homeland in terms of being action packed and based on an Israeli series. I wonder why it's on Saturday rather than Sunday?

Toni's been very calm so far about hubby playing away...I hope she confronts the mistress who I think is quite an interesting character I'd like to see more of.

Toni's face distracts me in this show but weirdly enough, she looked great on Graham Norton's show last week, filmed just a few months after she filmed these episodes.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 14/02/2014 14:10

Im watching! Its so crap and unrealistic but oddly watchable Grin

I think she was very very thin in this, on Graham Norton she had put on a couple of pounds which suited her more imho. She was so much bigger in Muriel's Wedding, she did well to keep it off this long. I really rate her, she's good value for money and usually it's an indicator of a good film if she's in it.

I thought she was very calm over mistress / secretary - I would be flipping

Plus if had found out dp was having an affair and he got shot - I would have got on bus with my kids

turningvioletviolet · 15/02/2014 14:22

I said that to dh - i would have got on the bus with the children - he was gobsmacked!

Tbh i think she has bigger fish to fry though at the moment than to worry about husband's dalliance - i would imagine getting out of this alive is top priority, and then she can give him hell.

Looking forward to tonight!

Ooh just starting. I think it's my favourite programme even with the big plot holes. Dylan McDermott is very easy on the eye which helps.

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/02/2014 21:30

Good sat night tv :)

And yes watching sexy dermot helps :)

Southeastdweller · 16/02/2014 11:40

Another cracking episode last night. I liked the sister character and felt sorry for her when Toni did the dirty. I'd like to know more about her MH problems and hope she comes back in the future.

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/02/2014 23:44

I felt sorry for the sister as well - but that's what happens if you let yourself into your sisters house unannounced Wink

Surprised the kids havnt had theirselves re tagged electronically again

Toni didn't check her neighbours gun to see if loaded or check for bullets

With the doc ringing about daughter and possible a use - wonder where that storyline will go

turningvioletviolet · 17/02/2014 16:53

I know, so many holes but still great fun to watch. Poor sister though.

Southeastdweller · 20/02/2014 20:10

Apparently no second series is planned:

turningvioletviolet · 21/02/2014 17:06

Shame - although i can see how they might struggle to drag it out for another 10 episodes!

PeanutPatty · 22/02/2014 20:30

I'm hooked!

dancemom · 22/02/2014 21:44

I'm enjoying it so far but want to know the link between the presidents death and the wife living .....

Ruprekt · 23/02/2014 00:38

Dh and I love this.....Smile

GypsyFloss · 23/02/2014 10:02

Ohhh that was a twisty episode. So...is there a link between the dead brother in law of the president and the sick wife?

Southeastdweller · 23/02/2014 13:17

I think the storyline of the president's one-night stand with his sister-in-law will be developed but can't think how. I get confused with all that goes on in the show.

PeanutPatty · 23/02/2014 13:27

I didn't even know the Pres had a dead Bil. This Is what happens when you don't fully concentrate and MN at the same time.

GypsyFloss · 23/02/2014 16:12

The Pres has a sister in law that he's shagged and I suspect his wife may know about it. And a dead brother in law that he seems to be somehow responsible for. I am hugely suspicious about his wife. Everything she says could be taken as being completely on his side or the one who actually devised the plan in the first place.

dancemom · 23/02/2014 18:50

Gypsy I thought that last night, I'm wondering if the presidents wife is in on the plot??

GypsyFloss · 23/02/2014 21:22

I reckon she's the plot mastermind . Next week we'll discover that she and old man who is running Duncan are relatives too Grin

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/02/2014 23:34

Omg

What a twist !!!

So her lawyer is the kidnappers dad

The presidents wife's sisters hubby (dead) should have been president
Hence the now presidents wife wouldn't be if her sister hubby was

Missed the affair bit tho with wife's sister --tho she is nicer and younger and prettier then his wife so don't blame
Him-- pmsl

Will the injection have any effect?

Ruprekt · 23/02/2014 23:36

No...the old guy is the father in law of sexy FBI man.

He is the father of sick woman and bearded kidnapper.SmileSmile

Ruprekt · 23/02/2014 23:38

President wife is definitely a baddie!

Did you recognise her a Marion from Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves? SmileSmile

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/02/2014 23:40

Sorry meant fil

But he is still her lawyer hence why she went to see him
And it's his fault they are in this mess coz he recommended her as she killed a man 15yrs ago

But what hold so the bigger people have on dermot to make him blackmail her to kill the president

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/02/2014 23:42

Bearded kidnapper who kissed the girl kidnapper is brother to wife and son to man/lawyer?????

Missed that !!!
