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.

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.
