I know I am going to be in the minority here but I get her.

In her circumstances I could see myself wanting to do some of the things she did (not all) I realise that you are hurting yourself more than anyone else but I can understand her.

Anyone else?

That poor boy. sad

It's going to end like Hamlet isn't it?

NotTooOld Tue 26-Sept-17 22:48:46

I think you may be right. No-one can win, can they?

maryeliza54 Tue 26-Sept-17 23:04:24

I'm not sure any of them deserve to win ( but poor Tom)

Is it a case of can't live with you but can't live without you either with these two.
They appear completely obsessed with each other and have no control over their emotions regardless of the damage they are doing to anyone else.

I don't think she did, maybe she swerved and crashed into the oncoming car with Kate and the little girl in it?

For me it is cinematically, psychologically and emotionally brilliant. I'm glad I've stuck with this series after the rather slow over-dramatic start.

Spoiler alert - the next trailer shows someone?him walking along with a pair of open scsissors.

If he doesn't strangle that awful woman I will - her poor son.

Kacee Wed 27-Sept-17 15:05:11

LillIe I'm glad I'm not the only one that's really enjoying it.

Alima Wed 27-Sept-17 15:16:20

Lillie and Kacee, I'm with you, think it is terrific telly. Yesterday's episode, the way they showed what Dr Foster was attempting to do was excellent. Apparently the BBC won't say if there is going to be a third series, the answer would definitely let the cat out of the bag.

I think that he just has the edge on really bad nastiness!! All coming back to bite him as he has bitten off more than he can chew with the young wife!

mumofmadboys Wed 27-Sept-17 19:35:27

I too am really enjoying it.

NotTooOld Wed 27-Sept-17 21:54:23

In the TV mag I bought today it refers to the 'shock finale'. I don't think that's a spoiler - it's a given.

Just caught up with the latest episode and yes, Gemma is bonkers but I can't help sympathizing with her now. No, she will not kill her ex husband as we need a response from him to end the series. He has to be one of the most evil tv characters of all time.

travelsafar Thu 28-Sept-17 18:41:02

NoToOold do you think the son will dosomething to one of his parents. He has been screwed up in the head due to their behaviour poor boy.

Anniepops Thu 28-Sept-17 18:48:37

Certainly a possibility NoToOold. Can't wait to see what happens next week. What a messy web has been woven.

I don't like the series. Not one character I like. It is so disturbing, to know someone as unhinged and resentful and intent on revenge to the expense of their own child is chilling, howcould hold she down a job, however, know there are such evil people, prepared to kill if they can't get what they want, how often do we hear of people killing themselves and their childrenwith them, because life hasn't worked out for them, it drives them crazy in the end. Her husband and is awful, so is the son. Very depressing.

Anniepops Fri 29-Sept-17 11:37:03

When you're watching a drama Luckylegs9 it's so easy to forget sometimes that it is based on realities. The world sadly does contain unhinged people whose revenge eats them up. So sad for children who end up being wounded mentally or even murdered because of such selfish actions.

Well, I'd flounced after episode 2, which I thought was very weak. We then decided we needed to know how it ended, and have caught up with events. I've now found a likeable character to root for - Kate, the long-suffering second wife. And I'm glad she's escaped to a new life in France. Good for her. smile

Maggiemaybe Fri 29-Sept-17 14:02:03

Ouch, sorry about that, to anyone still to watch the last episode - I forgot to do the SPOILER ALERT warning. blush

Oh for an edit button!

Menopaws Fri 29-Sept-17 14:27:51

It's good solid entertaining drama and surely if we enjoy it and take with a pinch of salt why not just watch it without judgement? Of course she is over the top but I def get her anger and it's compelling watching compared to so many rubbish programs, nice to have a program to look forward to watching each week

travelsafar Tue 03-Oct-17 06:28:23

Cant wait for tonight's episode!!!!

Alima Tue 03-Oct-17 06:47:10

Me too, even going to stay up to watch it tonight as it airs!

harrigran Tue 03-Oct-17 09:40:57

Will have to watch it live tonight otherwise eveyone will blab on fb and so on.

Lillie Tue 03-Oct-17 14:26:23

Can't wait either! I hope it's a satisfying ending, although I'm not sure who I want done away with!
Something tells me this might be the last episode forever?

Menopaws Tue 03-Oct-17 22:31:58

Interesting ending
