joellyn-mumcian You know, while it was easy to sympathize with Gemma in the first season, because of the actress' stellar portrayal of a woman in a downward spiral into madness, at the end of the series it led the audience to believe that she has come through her personal ordeals mentally stronger. It became quickly apparent in the first episode of Season 2 that this was not to be the case, and the series just fell into just another maudlin revenge soap opera. It's a shame that the writers lack of imagination turned what could have been a wonderful portrayal of a woman overcoming the wrongs done to her and coming to grips with her own failings and finding her way through them.

carolinemcvitty I love this show - but at times it is like Kramer Vs. Kramer or Fatal Attraction. These educated parents are so hell bent on getting back at one another that they spend most of their time getting even - instead of looking out for their young son. So my question is this: don't they have child protective services in Great Britain? We need to report this to someone.

ematerso We did hang in there to finish this series but it was really bad, in every way. The main characters were absolutely vile and inconsistent. People with responsible important jobs acted like they worked part time in high school, bouncing in and out and all around. Continuity was confusing and actions were inconsistent, the main character, Gemma, walks at night to a house in the country that during the daytime was a long drive! She then walks back to the center of town where she hails a cab to take her home. People sold their houses with nary any notice and same houses were occupied in a day or two with new owners. The main purpose of Gemma's life seems to be the destruction of her ex-husband, who in flash backs seems to be the light of her life! Gemma moves out of town as far as a hotel on the edge Gemma brews up a suicide potion for Simon and then at breakfast discusses this with him in front of their son, Tom. All I can say about this that may be hopeful is that I hope the writer of this miserable piece of trash has successfully exorcized what must be some demons from a horrible child hood.

amymtimm Wow. Season 2 - it's like a train wreck you can't turn away from, but wonder why you're still watching. Not one single character is likable in even the slightest degree. The poor teenage son will end up a serial killer thanks to his parents. I found myself asking, "Seriously?" at least every five minutes.
