3 different ladies and how they cope trying to keep afloat with their lives

Oh no! My plan for tomorrow's crap weather was to catch up on this!
I won't get to watch the next 2 as on holiday and thought it would be a good thing to look forward to when I have a day of washing to do when we get back.

Doesn't sound like that will go to plan?!

I'm also looking forward to Confession starting soon.

Full 6 episodes on STV player.

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/08/2019 18:03

I don’t binge. I like to watch weekly

Youare, there is nothing worse than suitcase or two of holiday washing and a day of rain. It's soul destroying!
Makes me want to go back on holiday.
I think that if they stick to the original stories it might be ok and improve.
Anna Friel is a good actress.

colouringinpro · 15/08/2019 20:28

Dreadful.

RingtheBells · 15/08/2019 20:34

Watching episode 2 now, it’s alright, similar to a lot of the ITV dramas that have been on, so will probably finish tomorrow.

QueenOfTheAndals · 15/08/2019 20:36

Watching the first ep now. There's something slightly odd about Anna F's face - overdone fillers?

Never2old · 15/08/2019 22:36

Absolute drivel! Gave up half way through 3 episode as yet another cliched plot line started up. Such a disappointment as I was looking forward to a good binge.

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/08/2019 22:36

We said that on marchello. Lip was weird

Have binge watched to the end of episode three. What a load of shite. i wont waste anymore time on it. Shame, I really like Anna Friel. But its really pants.

BitOfFun · 16/08/2019 01:33

It's just left me wondering where all these businessmen prepared to spend thousands on shagging ordinary-looking middle-aged mothers are. If it were at all true-to-life, the need for the famous Mumsnet Chicken that can feed a family for seven days would be obliterated, surely?

Kit30 · 16/08/2019 02:08

Total drivel with dire female stereotyping Gave up at the bathroom scene. Thought Anna Friel was bad in Marcella and she doesn't redeem herself here.
Also recognised the house because it's been in the market for ages. £4 million for the remainder of a 99 year lease for house (excluding cottage) 🤣🤣

The80sweregreat · 16/08/2019 07:28

Bit of fun, yep , the men round my way wouldn't have millions to throw at a relationship! You'd be lucky to get a drink out of them up the pub.

dogsdinnerlady · 16/08/2019 08:09

£3K for an evening's shagging? He could hire a whole harem for that I imagine. Agree about stereotypes, wronged women/useless men. I'm guessing they all get together to plot revenge.
Anna has the dreaded duck's bill lip, aka too much filler.The two daughters look at to be in their 20s and the eyepatch son is too big to be carried about like a baby.
I have watched first three episodes and it doesn't get any less preposterous.

QueenOfTheAndals · 16/08/2019 08:15

Hmm I watched episode 2 as well but don't think I'll bother with anymore. Big Little Lies it ain't!

Random bit of trivia: the young actress playing AF's daughter is the daughter of Helen Baxendale from Cold Feet.

The80sweregreat · 16/08/2019 08:17

They always cast older actors to play younger teenagers!
Must be a shortage.

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/08/2019 10:03

It’s so they can work round the hours for filming

A 15yr I think can only work 2hrs a day school day and so many a week

16yr + more hours

Keeping Faith is utterly brilliant though and there is no comparison to this nonsense.

I decided to give KF (ep 3) another go after reading your comment. Agree it is better viewing, but still the running about, disorganised chaos persists as well as unbelievable scenarios. plus I have no bloody idea what's going on 75% of time Grin

floribunda18 · 16/08/2019 10:58

ordinary-looking middle-aged mothers

Sinead Keenan is 41 and pretty and is so physically fit and petite. And the character is supposed to be very good with her hands. A lot of young women look like the rear end of a bus these days. These ladies are much more attractive.

But yes, you are right, it is implausible shit. I have watched the second episode though and it is enjoyable implausible shit.

howwudufeel · 16/08/2019 11:00

If his ‘needs’ aren’t being met by his wife why doesn’t he go to a prostitute instead of tapping up the local physio?

mizu · 16/08/2019 11:10

I don't usually watch stuff like this as no time but it is nearly the end of my time off work - I've had 5 weeks Wink - and I am very relaxed and chilled out and have now watched 2 episodes. Tis a bit ridiculous for sure but agree with pp that it is enjoyable.
Anna Friel is beautiful, she can't be much younger than me and I look at her and think where are the lines around your eyes? Perhaps she is just ageing well???

floribunda18 · 16/08/2019 11:13

Friel has certainly had some botox at least. Not that I blame her if you are and actor and looks are important.

Phimma · 16/08/2019 11:13

AF is a dreadful wooden actress, can't stand watching her, so switched off.

The80sweregreat · 16/08/2019 11:20

hi blondes, i guess so!! Getting teenagers for filming must be hard, i didnt think of the hours they can work aspect.
I wasnt too bad in my forties, but now im early 50s i am very invisable and fat and hairy and i would have to pay them!! lol

Iamdobby63 · 16/08/2019 11:31

I must be easy to please as Im enjoying it. 😂 up to episode 4
