Was really looking forward to this, but I was disappointed. Thought the writing was weak and the acting was poor. Don't think I'll bother with another one.

MajesticWhine · 29/09/2020 22:00

I quite enjoyed it but missed quite a lot at the beginning. Confused - what's the story with Andy was he not actually the dad?

excelledyourself · 29/09/2020 22:00

I wonder if he's lying

ginberry4 · 29/09/2020 22:01

I really enjoyed it & will be watching again next week

midsomermurderess · 29/09/2020 22:03

I found it a bit of a slog, and not in any way like Five Bedrooms. Where did that come from?

unique1986 · 29/09/2020 22:05

Enjoyed it. 1st eps of relationship dramas are often setting the scene.
Surprise was the dead wife

youngestisapsycho · 29/09/2020 22:06

All episodes are on iplayer...

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/09/2020 22:14

I think 5 bedroooms as all live in same house in flats

I loved it! Liked the twist with David’s wife. Hannah obviously wants to be with Andy. Gail needs to leave Henry - is he lying? And Belle - well, Victoria Hamilton is just amazing in anything. Love her and the Anna/Belle character with her sister and niece. Slow burn maybe with ep 1 setting up lots of plots.

midsomermurderess · 29/09/2020 22:21

Totally different premise to Five Bedrooms though.

Andy had a one night drunken stand with her

Then went away travelling planned

Think found our she was preg while away

Meantime she met new bf who was happy to take on being dad

OP posts:
MajesticWhine · 29/09/2020 22:29

Ok, thanks!
One night stand guy seems preferable to new bf

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 29/09/2020 22:30

I really liked it. I liked how you didn't have to think much and was fairly easy to follow. Stellar cast too

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/09/2020 22:33

Excatly. Easy watching but with several plots

And I love Adrian - he has melting eyes

Blondes swoons

Tomatoesneedtoripen · 29/09/2020 22:46

no, that gail story was silly, and not well acted.
far fetched.

burglarbettybaby · 29/09/2020 23:21

Loved it
Brilliant cast!

augustusglupe · 29/09/2020 23:43

I loved it too!! Also think he's lying.

lazymum99 · 30/09/2020 09:06

He showed her a Written report from the doctor so he can’t be lying surely

lazymum99 · 30/09/2020 09:07

And I loved it but will binge on iPlayer so I will have to leave this thread. No self discipline. Once I can download the lot I can’t stop!
