Trauma - example of a bad trailer

[nuttyslackster]

Anyone feel that TV trailers give away too much? I understand it's a balance but having watched the trailer last night for ITV's new three part drama Trauma I feel like it basically gave away the whole plot bar whatever the denouement turns out to be. Has really put me off watching!

I know what you mean. It’s the same with film trailers, very often far too much of the action or plot is shown. I know they want to lure viewers, but I like to join the dots myself, nothave it done for me.

I hate trailers, they’re usually the best bits of a film too!

I coined the term 'overtrailered' in our house when The Incredibles was released.
The trailers made it look good, the film was ok, but all the best bits were in the trailers so we'd tired of them already.

I agree about film trailers. Often all the best/funny bits are in there and then the film is a real let down as a result.

If the trailer is really long, you can guarantee the film will be shite.

This one?

No. I like a full trailer. The subtleties wil be crucial. This will be the start of the story I reckon.

Hated Dr Foster though but trying not to pre judge!

Yes that's the one. Doctor Foster Series 2 was awful so that also puts me off!

I didn't get past ep1 of Doctor Foster, but the subject here looks more interesting....hence why I like a full trailer.

If it turns out to be a misleading trailer, I will be annoyed!

The programme is crap

Anyone watching? There's no way the surgeon would talk to the bereaved dad without management or a witness.

DH and I just said exactly that Savage. It’s a bit shit really so I’m going up to read my book instead.

I’m wondering what the twists are.

Highly unrealistic. Pretty much every scene so far. Overwrought rubbish....much like Dr Foster was.

Jon Sim's character isn't very likeable but I suspect that's intentional

Very unrealistic. Wish I'd watch Collateral instead...

This is shite,so unbelievable.
Won't be watching part 2.

Just came on here to see if a thread was up yet !! Yes...agree with all the above. Hating John Sims character and it's all rather strung out...

It’s 9.46 and he hasn’t once mentioned wanting to know who actually killed his son....

I usually love both John Sim & Adrian Lester, but this is crap.

He would be pestering the police for who actually stabbing his son.

The mum looks pissed off rather than distraught. Her son was murdered.

Oh ffs man !!!! Shut up !!!

Why on earth would be put himself in that position! So unrealistic.

The boy was stabbed near his heart. Of course he could die from his injuries. The dad hasn't mentioned who stabbed him once.

Chip on shoulder. Doesn't like the successful surgeon and his professional wife.
