Watched the first episode last night as it's been so heavily hyped.
So dire though, do they actually sign off on stuff like this and think it's good ?
The sad thing is I'll probably end up watching the rest of them just out of curiosity to see if it continues being so bad.

It's just your typical Channed 5 four part drama but with Claire Goose & Jill Halfpenny, that's enough reason for me to watch smile

We didn’t make it to the end of the first episode.

Typical Channel 5 fodder - dire script, wooden acting, tense music to build suspense when there isn’t any.
Yes it’s on in the background but I’m not watching it!
You know they’re going to be crap when you see the actors - Sally Lindsay, Suranne Jones, Jill Halfpenny, Lee Ingleby - can’t act for toffee.
As you say, how does someone sign this off and say “that’s great”.
Really don’t understand how Channel 5 are still operating - I mean come on they start wall to wall Xmas movies in November every year FFS!

Usual dire Ch5 drama! Ludicrously over the top and unrealistic!

I feel I’ve seen this script played out in at least 6 other drama shows or films. Give me something original please.

How many different stories are there in reality?
