THE HOLIDAY. CH 5 - March 1 - TUE WED THUR FRI. TV PACE NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

New 4 part drama. Starts tue 1 March

Sunny Malta is the settling for this.new drama

A thriller staring Jill halfpenny as kate who discovers her husband Sean (Owen McDonnell) is having an affair with one of her friends who they are on Holiday with

Kate Sean and their two kids Lucy and Daniel are hoping to enjoy some sun

Kate discoverers a text on Sean’s phone

The drama follows kate as she tries to work out who the illicit lover is , as more secrets and lies are revealed

Is it

Rowan whose marriage is going through a rocky patch

Jenny who had a fling with Sean before he got with kate

Izzy who is in a new but complicated relationship

Oh dear. That was pretty poor. But what is more irritating is the constant warnings of 'offensive language' after the ad breaks. I mean a) it's after the 'watershed' and b) maybe I don't find the language offensive. (It would be better to warn us the plot is offensively badly written).

Kate should have told the truth really and made Lucy face the music , but I know that would have been so hard.
I didn't hate it, but I'm glad it's over and i hope they never all go on holiday ever again.

FFS...is that how the book ends?

So Izzy was arguing with Jenny on the edge of the ravine because of what Lucy had confided in her about the blow job video and running the lad over?

None of it made any sense at all did it ? Terrible plot and a bit confusing in places.

What a disappointment

Well there's five hours of my life I'll not get back. Me and the hubby spent most of the time wondering what the hell was going on . The friendships were weird, disjointed and made no sense whatsoever . Disappointed to say the least

That was an absolute pile of shite!

The Holiday has got to be one of the worst dramas I've ever watched.

Another shit show ...rubbish all round. Look good the trailers but an utter disappointment!

Finished.

I actually liked the ending

Kept us guessing. Wasn’t an affair

Someone said it was a cover up and couldn’t tell kate as a copper

Well done

But yes Lucy should have told the truth

She was in the car with Jake and taken the consequences

She wasn’t driving

Guessing kate and Sean’s marriage won’t survive this

And the 7 well now 6 of adults won’t ever go on holiday again

I’m on the third one … have you ever met such a miserable bunch of people … what a “holiday”

They didn’t like Jake due to his behaviour

Which was coz of what he did for lucy

Ugh - what a despicable bunch of self-centred, spineless characters. Even the cop was bent.

On top of that, I thought it was poorly written, poorly cast and, for the most part, poorly acted. No chemistry whatsoever between the actors, totally unbelievable marriages and one-dimensional characterisation. A total dud.

I do think Jill Halfpenny looked amazing in it. And I did find Sean kind of attractive. But then I'm a sucker for an Irish accent.
Still couldn't tell the identikit blondes or their grey haired husbands apart by the end of the last episode.

Jeez what an all round miserable programme

I’ve remembered listening to the book on audible now and feeling the same.

Does anyone remember another series that started with a family on holiday, around a hotel pool, and she finds a text on his phone ? They’re on loungers …I can remember suddenly that scene as clear as day but nothing else…

Utter bollocks. What a waste of a morning .. could have cleaned the loo or the fridge 🤷🏼‍♀️

Am I the only one who enjoyed ending

Just caught up with last night's. Am at a loss for words, apart from I keep watching the Ch 5 dramas, in the hope that the next one will be good

I like the way that it turned out not to be an affair, but it all seemed a bit contrived. Plus all the characters were thoroughly unlikeable, with the possible exception of Izzy.

I enjoyed it. And I knew who everyone was, they all looked quite different!

I thought the first three episodes weren't great but stuck with it and the last two were much more gripping. All a bit convoluted and generally unsympathetic characters, improbable situation and dialogue. Normally I'd be envious of a holiday at a nice villa in Malta but crikey that group of 'friends' weren't great together were they?

The best thing about this thread is that most of the speculation is better than what actually does happen!

@RAOK

This is true

I couldn’t work out who the affair was

And wasn’t one 🙀😂

In didn’t mind the ending in itself. I liked the way the demonstrated that Jenny and Kate had the same instinct to protect their kids.

I didn’t like the way it made the previous 3 episodes pretty pointless. And really would you still have gone on holiday together and pretended it never happened.
