I had high hopes for this after The Drowning but wow, what a disappointment.
This surely has killed off most of the 'actors' careers. There are so many West End trained actors out of work yet they give jobs to people like these?
Why do writers and commissioners think it's ok now to present such utter rubbish to the British public. Most things are pitched at such low standards and levels of intelligence.
I don't think you can call this acting. It is skill-less. I don't watch soaps so didn't know who Sally Lindsay was but good grief, talk about knowing when someone is acting and knowing when the camera is on her is an understatement. If you think it can't get any worse the male lead plays a part which is totally beyond reality! He must be so embarrassed watching it back.
Angela, Angela, Angela, how many times could they repeat her name, was the most unconvincing character from the outset.
Please don't export this channel 5. It's a total embarrassment and the Americans must laugh their heads off.
The old white haired bloke needs a serious nose, ear, eye brow and beard trim, it made me feel sick with the close ups in HD. Americans ensure that at least basic hygiene standards have been met by their hair and make up departments.
The writing, story telling, direction, sets, acting, in fact every single thing about this is shockingly bad.
It angers me actually that this country has sunk to this level of acceptance for utter DROSS. Where are the quality dramas now? Don't even get me started on BBC1 The Syndicate.
Do not waste your time on this and shame on Channel 5.
