DR FOSTER THREAD IS FULL- ANYONE WANT TO CENT SOME MORE ? :-)

[intimeandspace]

I tried to post last night as I've been watching with gruesome fascination since the beginning. Had to watch on catch up last night but, Dear God- what a shambles. Total waste of good wine.

VENT. Obv.

Yes, I loved Series 1. But then series 2 was all "gruesome fascination" as you say.

I haven't read other posts yet (will do) but though the final episode was weak in many ways I kinda liked the ending. It was almost calm by comparison to previous two episodes, and tied up the loose ends, emotional and physical (with them all going their separate ways).

I like that no-one died!

I like that the son escaped from his two parents.

The father was shown as still an unpleasant and selfish character Though there was mentioned of a mother he "looked after" and a father "he hated. Regardless, he was still the psycho.

I think a bit more space was given to the mother. Its like she lost her parents and then lost her husband (and nearly her job, her house, her money too) and she held on to her son - too hard. In the end it was clear she was holding on to him as much for her benefit as his. And I remembered how she abandoned and embarrassed son at the husband's wedding party to snoop.

It was a bit of a shambolic ending, and mostly unbelievable.

But it was realistic somehow in that there was some resolution.

Agree with LucyLloyds point in (yet) another Dr Foster thread The denouement was a wry twist, after the emotional blood bath, life just goes on. Remember that

I cried so much. Has Tom just gone? He hasn't killed himself?

Hi OP,
(I think you might be my Parminster Bingo drinking game friend from the full thread? If yes, and you too were swigging every time Slimon shouted in Gemma's face, then your hangover today must've been ferocious...).

I accidentally started another thread too,
here

not realising that TurnipCake had already done so
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/3050794-Dr-Foster-series-3
(I read Series 3 in the title and got confused!).

Should the 3 of us merge, so that all comments are in one place, to save everyone scrolling through and posting on separate threads?!

No obligation to do so, but just an idea.

Yes, yes and thrice yes ZsuZsu. Hangover from hell. I don't know how to merge so will await instructions from you, captain Foster :-)

Aah, glad we meet again, OP.

I had a case of mistaken identity earlier on my thread (where a pro-Hitchin/ anti-Hitchin spat broke out)...I asked if one particular Hitching resident poster was you, who lives along the RL road from The Driveway Of Anna New Mum Neighbour With Small Kids

She wasn't. So I felt an eejit!

I'll decamp to join you on TurnipCake's thread as soon as I hear back. Don't want to be presumptuous and do so before.
