ORLY J @RT22678094 Oct 21 Watched it for Nicola Walker, but disappointed. Some real people's lives are probably this boring and depressing, it's 'realistic'. But whatever writing magic could turn that into an interesting show hasn't been accomplished here. it's just boring and contagiously depressing. The critic v audience divergence is interesting though not sure what it signifies. See more diane S @RT11306624 04/10/2025 What began to wear on me after I started to see through the characters was the incredibly annoying fact that the family depicted here treated each other as if they were total strangers. In fact the family scenes in this show played like scenes in a business office. The characters were completely one dimensional and offensively superficial with no depth, no real feelings and no ability to have or express an honest or sincere thought. They were like those freakishly empty, smiling figures painted on poster board along the highway. And they seemed pleased with themselves to be that way and to play it safe by having literally nothing going on inside of them and then flamboyantly showing off a constant barrage of smiling, laughing and beaming from ear to ear with absolutely zero feeling behind any of it. And the fact that all of this was all done in a self congratulatory way made it all the more offensive and even repulsive. I don't know if this is the fault of the writer but the actors certainly carried it off with a great deal of self-satisfied zeal. What they were was overly proud of themselves because they weren't being challenged at all by a script completely devoid of any depth.

The understated writing, the subtle performances and the last episode revealing Ian and Emma to be real life heroes, beautiful. See more Serra K @RT18525308 11/12/2023 Questions the commitment. A real reflection of marriage relationship institution. Moments of a couple from affection to being irritated. Being have to answer the stupid questions. All small details, facial expressions are going to keep you focused. Actors have played all emotions and all the boring perfectly like they were living in that moment and director and art directors have done their best to show it its best.

See more Shelly L @shellyl 08/05/2023 The main problem besides the boredom of these peoples' lives was that they didn't seem married. They barely seemed to know each other. Their behavior towards each other was like they were roommates who barely spoke, didn't know each other, only occasionally cracked jokes, but were otherwise so awkward with each other. Then there would be a brief flare of something like a kiss... and they held hands! Big plot twists. But otherwise they barely spoke. Their lives seemed to be just a waste of time. It's ridiculous to portray people who are married as though they barely speak. They were also quite unlikeable people, except for their daughter. Without her the whole show would have been a complete waste of time. There's also a horrendous "song" that opened and closed each show. I had to mute the volume until it was over. Getting through all 4 episodes was hard. I only slogged through because I thought something might happen, and nothing did. See more Read all reviews
