Mother Father Son BBC 2

[unique1986]

New Drama starring Richard Gere.

This better be good!

Just finished the second episode. I really like it, although found it difficult to watch that end scene. Was I imagining it or was Kayden trying to soothe himself on his mother's breast.

Watching the operation was grim ; must have been a private hospital. Can't imagine the NHS having viewing galleries.
Private hospitals don't have them either. No surgeon in his right mind would want the parents of the patient watching the operation! It was a very mad scene.
I struggled through the first two episodes of this and I was not entertained so am giving up now.

Mother Father Son-what on earth? utter nonsense. Second episode... reading snow white to her adult son? Wanting to "kiss a pretty nurse?" who WROTE this script? Slow and jarring dialogue, nonsensical plot, disappointing. Not even an OBE decorated actress can save this. Hope the reviewers trash it. I'd rather watch 'Hey Duggie".

Ok I’m going to watch 2nd episode on catch up..... not holding out much hope

I found the flashbacks tedious. According to the Digital Spy forum, it has lost half its audience (1m viewers). Can't say I'm surprised.

2nd episode was better than 1st, it's one of those series that I would forget it's on rather than set to record.

I watched it and found it not too bad but they seem to be going for shock episode endings and not much other substance.

The flashbacks didn't bring much to the table. It's all a bit meh!

I certainly found the final scene yuck and wasn't sure if what I had seen was just imagination but you've confirmed it lazymum99

Anyone still persevering?

Last nights was particularly crap. The lighting seemed all weird and was going light to dark - or was that just my TV?

I missed the "sting" did they plant the evidence?

Is the girl in the centre injured? Is she going to do a kiss and tell?

Was that the mums apartment? Bedside a railway line? Are we ever going to get the homeless mans backstory? Are we to assume he was ruined by Richard Gere?

There's the germ of a good story in there but the scrip and OTT elements have lost it.

Hadn't time to watch it but recorded it.

I forgot it was on, shows how invested I am in it, will watch later maybe.

I was quite enjoying it but found last nights episode boring.

hmmm just watched ep3 and am still finding it strangely coming, even though it is very weird. Not sure where its all going - maybe Gere suffering a fall from grace and the irony of his son just being ordinary but ending up happy.

compelling

I’m finding it intriguing if odd - and a bit overblown in places. I think the son may bring the father down - all that stuff about phone tapping, for example. Especially now that he is being dropped from his father’s organisation after a lifetime of trying to win the monstrous old sod’s approval.

Gosh I'm loving it but I could watch Helen Mc slice onions all day long - I find her fascinating.

It’s all coming out now, finally I’m starting to understand it 😂 maybe I’m a bit slow, enjoying it now

I'm really enjoying this

After this weeks episode, I know where this is going and it is definitely getting better.

We are enjoying this even though it's going at a fairly slow pace. It's nice to see something a bit different. Richard Gere is a waste of money, whatever they paid him, he is so one dimensional! However, Helen Mc and particularly Billy Howle as the son are excellent.

Where's it going ?

I usually like Richard Gere, but I think he's just not menacing enough for this.

I don't get the love for Richard Gere.
I think he has tiny eyes- little brown smarties, or coffee beans.

Gave up - haven't a clue what's going on and Cayden just annoying.
