I like Kay Mellor and it has a great cast. Anyone else giving it a go?

its really shit
sub casualty standard - drama for those who like chick lit.
plot lines visible from miles away - cliched characters and patronising ' northern grit"

Katherine Parkinson is a very versatile actress though.

Oh dear, wanted to like this but it made the plot of " The Syndicate" ( gritty deserving northerners win millions on the lottery) seem plausible.....very similar themes to her usual dramas, valiant Wimmin and useless men Sad.....could have been interesting and God knows there is nothing else to watch......

you can see the plot coming from half a mile away. I don't know why Mellor is seen as anything more than a soap opera writer.

How can anyone not know their spouse was made redundant five months ago? And no money coming in in that time?

Well, I thought there would be abit more humour in it! I've always loved Will Mellor. It's true though most of the actors seem to play the same parts every time.

Oh I liked it, had a bit of cry when the crash happened but that could have been more to do with the song being played, I'll stick with it I think

I love Ray Donovan, will be watching tonights episode soon, didn't like masters of sex, can't stand Michael Sheen

I like a variety of tv, you can like stuff like In The Club and also like Ray

The bank robbery storyline really pissed me off. How ridiculous! Otherwise I thought it was OK.

I liked it. Especially Joan and Melanie from Early Doors!

I agree the bank storyline was ridiculous...the only believable thing about the relationship in last nights episode was when she shouted at him about not being able to find a job in the five months since he was made redundant.

I quite enjoyed it, but I'm needing something like this to take my mind off daily life!

It's trying to remember its on will be my difficulty as I only recorded it downstairs.

Oh yes and hasn't Hermione Norris aged? How old is she meant to be and pregnant/ She's looks like her supposed partners Grandma
Unlike the lovely Emily off Friends who looks mazing in Cuckoo (hilarious beeb 3 comedy if no one's heard of it )
