A bit silly, but enjoyable enough.
Sleepin_Dragon7 February 2021
Jodie continues to search for the truth, and even challenges some factual evidence that's put in front of her.

First of all, I have to say, it's been pretty good all the way through, the third episode was really very good, this final episode needed to be excellent.....

Sadly, it wasn't excellent, it was a bit silly. The writing is such that big chunks of it are just so hard to believe, it's as if the writer made events fit the story, whether they were believable or not.

There's a scene in The Scream spoof, Scary Movie, where the victim is being chased by the killer, she can run to safety or danger, both are signposted, that scene came to my mind when Jodie ran to the boat.

It got a little bit tangled up in its own web, it tried to have too many twists and turns.

Take it for what it is, and it's enjoyable enough, treat it like a fantasy thriller.

Channel five, you are really improving on the home grown drama front, please continue.

Absorbing enough. 6/10.

The Drowning: Part 4
studioAT5 February 2021
While this was further proof that Channel 5 can do this sort of drama well, this did seem a bit stretched at 4 parts, and perhaps got a bit carried away with its own twists and turns.

Good overall though.

Far fetched and silly
cadegbite5 February 2021
This drama started out quite well and was promising. However the story became more outlandish and far fetched, so much so I thought it became silly. Poor writing, lead to a very disappointing finale.

Flaws.

Warning: Spoilers
How does the boy drown that quickly? How was he not wet after pushing the body out? How did Jason drown that quickly? How could he stand up and push the body away? No struggles from the son..? The water was clearly up to legs length so the boy shouldn't even have drowned....
