Wanderlust

[covetingthepreciousthings]

Anyone looking forward to watching this tonight? 9pm on BBC1.
It's a co-production with Netflix, starring Toni Collette (Muriel's Wedding , The Sixth Sense).

Apparently it's the naughtiest drama to grace the BBC! They've said they are ready for a swarm of complaints..

How old are their kids supposed to be?!

Must be 16+
It makes me feel a bit angry actually. Go on a dating site specifically looking for others wanting the same thing as you.
Don’t just land it on them afterwards, Oi mate do you mind if you help spice up my fucking shit marriage!!

This programme is a bit shit isn’t it?

The dialogue is clunky, the dynamic unbelievable and the sex is cringe inducing.

It doesn’t help that the husband comes across as a creepy wet sap.

I bet it was written by a man too as it has male fantasy realm all over it.

It is rubbish, really stilted.

The in car singing scene was off the scale on the clench-o-metre too.

Oh God, yes it was!!!

I thought the first one was ok
. The second one was utter tripe though.

soupdragon Yes - I thought exactly the same thing. I didn't even watch more than the first half of the second episode. It was dreadful. Fuck knows how it got commissioned.

The used condom scene was completely unnecessary. Just rank.

I watched ep1 and wanted to punch the dh for being an irritating wuss. Couldnt watch ep2 as was too cross.

What a load of old shit. Absolute garbage !!!

I haven't watched it, wasn't really too sure what it was about but I usually record all Beeb dramas in the hope it's good trots off to delete it off the hardrive

Why do they always have such nice kitchens though?

misses whole point of programme

Now, I am watching on catchup - but who are these random drunk kids that pitch up - surely not the husbands students?

What is it with spending all night asleep with a head in the toilet.

It is seriously wierd

The son's request to his unfortunate best friend were chilling. Baby, at 16 someone needs to tell you there's better out there.

I thought that interaction was odd. I would of hope any 16 year old would tell him he’s a mysogonist cunt

So odd. Everyone loves it. Lol at prom condom hate

not watching any more but going to stick with this amusing thread.

I thought that about the kitchen too! The whole house looked pretty nice. I'm guessing that other girl was their daughter too. It's almost so bad it's good haha.

I too loved their kitchen - is it a thing in tv land that mad couples have designer kitchens? Teaching and tossing off in sheds must pay better than I thought...
I also couldn't work out who the drunk gaggle were. Why was the second daughter not mentioned last week?

My biggest issue now, other than the general ridiculousness, is the terrible acting. Toni Collette is usually fab but maybe she's struggling to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear (channelling my granddad there). And Steven Mackintish is hard to watch- is he supposed to come across so creepy and yuk? I gagged a bit when he started flopping his used condom about 🤮

See I think Toni Collette is awful, I saw a film with her called Miss You Already and it was terrible!

He is creepy definitely wouldn't happen irl with that other teacher lady. Yuck!

They do have lovely kitchens in these dramas - i really liked Dr Foster's kitchen and the one in the one off drama ' Apple tree yard' which was on a while back. All filmed in beautiful houses.
my kitchen/ house is small so i guess i have ' kitchen envy' and need help!
I sort of watched episode 2 , but i need to watch it again as i lost the thread of it all.

80s I think you're trying to find a thread that was never there in the first place

Maybe I'm giving Toni Collette too much credit - tbh I just always think of Muriel's Wedding, which I loved...

Did anyone think the teacher looked a bit like Meghan Markle?
