Here not-quite-real characters living in not-quite-real homes do not-quite-real things to one another. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 10/16/2023
3/5
Unashamedly pot-boilerish, it puts plot twists before character credibility. Am I enjoying it? Yes. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 10/28/2023
I’ll say one thing for The Ex-Wife -- it does not hang about, going from 0-60 in no time. Go to Full Review Aidan Smith Scotsman 10/23/2023
All the ingredients for an irresistibly schlocky melodrama from the masters, Channel 5, are present and correct: Grand Designs house, glass-fronted for snoopers. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 08/10/2023

Jamie D @RT87200268 Aug 10 The plot is not believable. No one would conceivably behave this way. The husband’s behavior is indefensible, as is the ex wife’s, and there’s no way a Gen Z mom would put up with half of their intrigue, lying and colluding. It ruins the believability and the high production values are wasted. See more Shawna D @Beanieboo Aug 9 I liked it. Few twists and turns. Pretty good acting See more Paula A @RT07348283 01/28/2025 It’s just bad. Bad storyline. Bad acting. Bad plot twists that comes from nowhere just for the sake of it. Don’t waste your time. See more Moira K @M.Buff 03/28/2024 The credibility of these characters is ridiculous! I can't continue with this unbelievably absurd plot, I mainly watched this because it received 80% from Rotten Tomatoes... I'm still trying to work out why! See more Read all reviews
