I agree involving their son was wrong and yes the smelling bit was a bit strange.

Would I like to have a poke around their house? yes I would as long as I knew I wouldn't get caught. Would i like a quick look into their life? Yes I would.

I think the fact is that she still loved him when he cheated on her so she is hurting badly

I think the unstable bit was not the rummaging ( although the smelling but was pretty unhinged) but the trying to kill herself and the hair cutting business etc sending the son round to see the girlfriend in her undies was clever but very unkind to the son as were a lot of her actions
Would I have ever put myself in the position of going to his marriage party no way ...biggest distance best blimeyvi d have thrown up

I think quite a lot of women that had been cheated on would like a rummage around in their ex''s new life if they could do it without being seen....I know I would. Does that make me mentally unstable or just honest?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who rather admires her, at least she is doing something to vent her anger! I agree she is a bit irrational, but she is calculating too which makes her an interesting mix of character. I like the subtle metaphors, such as dissolving the ring slowly in acid. I don't think she should put herself on sick leave; many people with personal issues who have responsible positions put on a facade at work and with their friends and colleagues, she isn't unusual in that. I think Kacee is right that she is suffering more than she needs to by her reaction towards her ex, but maybe that is just her way of coping.

I m really really enjoying it
I didn't see the first series but on recommendation watched all five episodes today (rainy cold and windy Sunday ) and the first one of series two and really loved it can't wait for Tuesday
I totally get her but would never do anything like any of the things she has done because she has made things a hundred times worse I would have just let them get on with it made it as simply as possibly for the lad and stayed as far away as possible She is hell bent on destroying herself as well as everyone else

Glad I'm not the only one enjoying it

tessagee I agree with what you said and I too will give it one more go.

tessagee Sun 10-Sept-17 17:20:34

I found the first series riveting but not so sure about this one; it's definitely a lot darker, however I'll try another episode before giving up.

I really like this program although I feel like she's become a little bit unhinged! Is it just me who thinks she has got far too thin?

I know she was set up by the pig of an ex when he sent her the new address knowing full well she wouldn't be able to resist checking it out. He obviously left the door open deliberately , but why oh why did she fall for his bait?

Not just happy to steal her friends, the pig is turning her own son against her. He needs a good hard slap.

I do not advocate violence in any form and it is only a program wink

Eloethan Sun 10-Sept-17 16:42:25

Yes, I can understand her.

I hope I wouldn't behave in the way she's behaved - even though her husband has been an absolute pig - but who's to know what you'd be like until you're actually in the situation yourself.

Kacee Sun 10-Sept-17 14:36:07

I didn't mean about her job I meant I could understand her feelings about her ex husband and his new wife and life.

I like the programe

Teetime Sun 10-Sept-17 11:31:05

Not really. Anyone so unhinged as this character should not be anywhere near the patients. Whether her circumstances have driven her to the edge or not I think she should put herself on sick leave and if she lacks the insight to do it her partners should demand it. I don't like this programme at all.

Kacee Sun 10-Sept-17 11:23:07

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?
