Just starting this. Judging from the trailers I will be crying and shouting at the telly in frustration before long.

Is it good? Am considering going in.

Carriemac · 02/10/2021 08:38

So good .'

Theblacksheepandme · 02/10/2021 09:13

I have binge watched most of it. Andie MacDowell is a terrible actress but her daughter is fantastic. I am really enjoying it but it is heartbreaking to watch.

Carriemac · 02/10/2021 09:34

Is that her actual daughter ?

Pinkflipflop85 · 02/10/2021 09:40

@Carriemac

Is that her actual daughter ?
Yes.
Theblacksheepandme · 02/10/2021 09:59

Yes

Apple fell very far from the tree so Smile

Theblacksheepandme · 02/10/2021 10:00

Sorry that was meant for Carriemac.

What's it about?

MacMahon · 02/10/2021 15:09

I'm on episode 1, not sure I can watch this. It's unrelenting hopelessness so far.

MacMahon · 02/10/2021 15:14

What's it about?

A young woman and her little girl escaping domestic violence in a country with no social security net.

Theblacksheepandme · 02/10/2021 15:36

My husband doesn't like it at all. He thinks it just gets more and more depressing.

RedRiverShore · 02/10/2021 18:05

I'm enjoying it, it's a bit slow but quite good, but DH has gone upstairs to watch some cycling, muttering about shit on TV and Strictly shit later.

teaandpastries · 02/10/2021 19:21

2 episodes in.
Utterly brilliant. The actress is so good, unlike her mother

amy85 · 02/10/2021 19:35

It's good but thought it would be better tbh Andie macdowell is awful

NannyR · 02/10/2021 19:43

I think this is brilliant, it reminds me a bit of "the pursuit of happyness" with Will Smith. I'm three episodes in and hoping things are going to get better for Alex soon. The little girl who plays Maddy is gorgeous and looks like she has a great bond with Margaret Qualley.

Theblacksheepandme · 02/10/2021 19:57

NannyR
I think that little girls acting is fantastic.

sleepyhoglet · 02/10/2021 21:13

Going to try it out.

queenofarles · 03/10/2021 09:41

So so good!

And so heartbreaking to watch at times, the little girl is amazing so is the rich lawyer.

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 03/10/2021 17:54

I binged watched this Ystd, thought it was fab, maddy is gorgeous.

I'm really rooting for Alex.

thinkfast · 03/10/2021 18:06

I think Andie MacDowell is great in it.

Her daughter is also excellent. Really enjoying it so far, but yes it is on the harrowing side.

sleepyhoglet · 03/10/2021 19:50

Only one episode in and it's harrowing

Theblacksheepandme · 03/10/2021 20:45

I do think at times she doesn't do herself any favours and is her own worst enemy.

MacMahon · 03/10/2021 21:25

Can you give us an example from the first episode or two?

Theblacksheepandme · 03/10/2021 22:02

No, because the examples don't happen in the first few episodes but you will see. I don't want to give away any spoilers but at times I was nearly shouting at the telly at her.
