The Trouble With Maggie Cole

Very disappointing. Such a good cast, but a ridiculous storyline. It might have made a bit more sense if she had hinted at scandals in the village without mentioning names, and then everyone would be wondering who it could be. A shame, but I won't be watching next week.

well i am enjoying it.
yes it has plot holes and is unrealistic, but so what!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 02/04/2020 15:03

Awww I wish I had a dog to watch it with

Where did you say you live?

SchadenfreudePersonified · 02/04/2020 15:05

I thought Maggie over reacted when she left the family home for the night to get some space and have some thinking time.

Rather ironic as she refuses to respect other people's requests for her to piss off, and insists on staying right in front of them offering her self-serving, wheedling "apologies".

SchadenfreudePersonified · 02/04/2020 15:08

BTW Purple, when you unwrap her, she will looks at you like bitter wouldn't melt in her little pink licky-tongued mouth.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

*butter - not bitter

purpleme12 · 02/04/2020 16:45

Oh she's so cute!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 02/04/2020 19:04

She shamelessly plays the "cute" card, purple.

She is a tasmanian devil in doe-soft-eyed, pretty-faced, floppy-eared, shiney-coated, licky-tongued, giant-pawed spaniel clothing. And she gets away with murder . . . Angry

Try as we might, we cannot harden our hearts against her as she do often deserves.

pigsDOfly · 02/04/2020 19:18

Too much cuteness in a dog can be the very devil Grin

She is cute though, I'm not surprised she get away with things.

originalcatlady · 02/04/2020 19:29

@WaterIsWide well I just lost all sense of reality and sat there wondering how she thought she was going to check into a hotel with all the coronavirus stuff going on 🤦🏼‍♀️

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/04/2020 22:44

I love spaniels 🐶💓🐶

So the son pinched someone while boxing and he’s a bit brain damaged /not with anymore

Is that it. The big secret

And still can’t beleive they burnt the money

pigsDOfly · 04/04/2020 22:58

Yeah, that's it, that's the big secret.

And who the hell would just burn all that money, it's all pretty silly.

purpleme12 · 04/04/2020 23:11

It is silly but who cares I'm enjoying it is just nice to watch, no effort

pigsDOfly · 04/04/2020 23:28

Yes, your right, purple, I think we all need something easy to watch at the moment.

pigsDOfly · 04/04/2020 23:30

*Oops you're right, not your right.

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/04/2020 15:55

Def way watching

I’m liking :)

WeWantSweet · 05/04/2020 19:45

I'm going to watch the final episode just for completion but I think the budget could have been better spent on a different story. Lord knows there are plenty of great short stories and novels that would make fab feelgood dramas yet all we mainly get are constant remakes of classics and unending police/maverick detective dramas with women and children as victims.

thenightsky · 05/04/2020 20:04

WeWant Yes, I'll watch the last one for the same reason (closure) but there could be so many better stories the budget could have been spent on.

AdoptedBumpkin · 06/04/2020 00:28

Karen coming on to Peter seems just as bad second time around.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 07/04/2020 21:48

Just watching the latest episode.

Maggie is a really irritating, self-obsessed character and I'm really starting to dislike her.

And very unfairly, dislike Dawn French, too because she's playing her.

I really, really want to punch her lights out!

FlatulantTrousers · 09/04/2020 01:44

Awesome final episode! Have really enjoyed this series and hope it gets a second series (minus the "Polish girl", her boyfriend, her dad and the kid she was babysitting - replace them all with new characters played by better actors!)

Sad to see it end. Got me through these troubling times.

Newgirls · 09/04/2020 09:56

We really enjoyed this - yes it was daft but that was the point! It looked beautiful, likeable actors and about the level my brain can handle at the moment!

pigsDOfly · 09/04/2020 13:33

Oh dear, I thought the last episode was awful. But it was pretty much what I expected.

It all came right in the end, everyone lived happily ever after and the baddies got their comeuppance, and the the dreadful Maggie was back in everyone's good books. What a load of rubbish.

Very, very weak, unlikely story lines and equally poor acting.

LockedInMadness · 09/04/2020 15:05

It was certainly a very strange series Confused

If we get a 2nd series I'll only agree to the 'Polish' girl going if she takes Maggie's annoying DIL with her Grin

thenightsky · 09/04/2020 15:13

If there is a 2nd series I won't be bothering.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 09/04/2020 17:33

Nor will I nightsky
