The dialogue is not exactly inspiring, but there are some lovely properties featured. And yes, I'm aware of how middle-aged that makes me sound.

Noooooo......
The books were good Sad

Just started it. She's not even a looker and the olive scene made me cringe inside out.

GalileoHumpkins · 15/04/2023 18:59

Anna has the emotional depth of a dead trout, she's just so blah as a person I can't believe anyone would be obsessed with her.
As for RA, that man should be banned from every soft furnishings shop in the world.

AlwaysGinPlease · 15/04/2023 19:14

Have given up. It's awful as has been said. I googled the end and I'm glad I'm not watching it. I might now need to watch RA as SGOG or as suggested Vicar Of Dibley. I cannot not find him hot.

I don't know if Richard Armitage has a wife or partner, but if he does, I think he ought to consider cancelling his Netflix subscription for a while, lest she sees the cushion scene and gets the ick.

😅😂😂😂😂

Episode 3. Given up. Beyond shite.

Doyoumind · 15/04/2023 23:19

I'm on episode 3. I'm very, very tempted to stop. It's so bad. The sex scenes couldn't be less sexy. It's just cringe inducing.

Everydayshouldbe · 15/04/2023 23:55

He really doesn't give a shit about his son does he? Could you imagine this story on the Relationships board!

foxlover47 · 16/04/2023 00:26

@Everydayshouldbe absolutely vile
How he doesn't care a toss about him

OnTheRoll · 16/04/2023 01:03

Watched it in one go. I find RA very, very sexy so enjoyed the explicit scenes 😊however this Anna person irritates me. A Maxine Carr look-a-like indeed. The children (Jay and Sally) were not cast well. It's all very weird.

Slimjimtobe · 16/04/2023 10:52

I binged this yesterday and it’s a long tome since I had a Netflix binge

I did enjoy it for the escapism factor and wasn’t able to turn it off but the wife was so amazing and Jay such a sweetheart that it made me think it was too unbelievable that he would do that. The cushion scene was funny 😆

cheesywotsit62 · 16/04/2023 12:22

It’s absolutely awful.

My middle aged thought was "he'll bugger his knees shagging on a hard wooden floor"
Plus "how minimalist can a flat be that she doesn't possess a bed, and they can only shag up against walls"

GalileoHumpkins · 16/04/2023 16:46

Why does Anna's friend not own any furniture?

DumbPrinceAndHisStupidWife · 16/04/2023 16:54

The only good thing about it is the MN thread it has generated 😁

*Watched the cushion scene last night- who thought that was a good idea? On some clips programme I once saw a cat shag a fluffy dressing gown to completion and it was very similar.

everyone involved in this is advertising they’re a crap shag.*

😂

User1794537 · 16/04/2023 17:09

Netflix will probably think it has been a huge hit and do a second series because loads of people have probably watched it because it's unbelievably bad and quite short

Theimpossiblegirl · 16/04/2023 17:18

It was ok.
I had to shut the blinds in case the neighbours thought I was watching porn. Cushion porn.

DelphiniumsBlueWildRose · 16/04/2023 18:31

Just turned off mid episode 2.
It's SO CRAP!!

GalileoHumpkins · 16/04/2023 18:33

Anna is even more of a monster than I originally thought, episode 3 did you see what she did to that book cover 😧

AlwaysGinPlease · 16/04/2023 18:58

Had to watch North & South to make him sexy again. Swoon.

KillerSandy · 16/04/2023 19:04

Claricethecat45 · 15/04/2023 13:50

Just ploughed through. The cushion scene was absurd..as was the rest. And all I saw in Anna was Maxine Carr.

OMG YES that's who it was!

JamSandle · 16/04/2023 19:13

KillerSandy · 16/04/2023 19:04

Show quote history

I thought she looked stunning with the short dark red hair and dark eyes.

Stingraytail · 16/04/2023 19:34

I was worried for his knees on the wooden floors too.

What did she do?I think I must of missed quite a lot whilst cringing 🙈😅

the80sweregreat · 16/04/2023 21:16

Anna is beautiful, but clearly unhinged
That flat is unnerving
I feel sorry for the wife and son! Only seen half on episode one as I like RA, but the dialogue is terrible and the olive scene when they first meet was just funny
