What a shame. I smirked throughout the first episode as I enjoyed the black humour and was then hit with the murder of Kiri so I thought, "hey this is actually really good." But as the series went on, I started to doubt the characters. None of the were believable, which I can't actually believe I'm writing about Sarah Lancashire as she is an amazing actress with many fantastic accolades.
I do have to say the boy who played Simon was brilliant but he was a touch too clever for his age. I didn't identify with him being of school age; rather that he was a 20-something, still living at home. I enjoyed his cynicism but it angered me that his mother didn't fight for him. And for someone who was supposed to be adored, I didn't feel their chemistry neither did I empathise with the turmoil as their relationship broke down.
The resolution was terrible. Seriously, it just wouldn't happen. Come on ITV, you can do much better than this!
