Replacement

And I'll never get back the hours I wasted watching it . I have to say it is probably one of the worst things I have ever watched on TV. Why did I ?

I enjoyed the first two episodes but the last one was rushed rubbish. Sloppy writing and too many ends left hanging.

I'd looked forward to the last episode but from the moment Ellen hot-wired the car there were plot holes all over the place and a desperately rushed conclusion like the writers were running out of time. And a soppy ending alluding to a happy- ever -after with her ex boss. Poor writing after a brilliant 2 episodes. It seems to happen a lot with tv dramas, and novels too.

Still trying to get my head around that ending. I think my education is sorely lacking I would have no idea how to do all that hot wiring. I agree willsmadnan very poor writing in the last episode.

The car that Ellen was locked in in the garage was the car that killed Caris (car belonging to Georgia.) Was this at Georgia's house.? The number plate was on a photo on Kay's phone and then shown again when Ellen was in the garage.

I was bitterly disappointed in this last episode. It was as my mother used to say it was "as far fetched as a bucket of shite muck from china. The first two episode were so promising.

If she wrote the story she surely know what happened to her characters.
To be so vague is not very reassuring.

The writer, Joe Ahearne, is a man.

Atqui Thank you for the link.

Says it all if the writer has to explain to the viewer what was happening.
I think most of what we needed to know/understand was still in the writers head!

The first two episodes:excellent, the last episode: rubbish! Others have said it all, but really, what a waste of time watching it was.Grrrrrrrrrr.

What a wasted opportunity. It was not just the "psycho drama" bit that was rubbish.The architectural story was all wrong too.

Judging by the progress of Ellen's pregnancy, they seemed to go in a matter of weeks from winning a competition for a £12m library to being on site with structure complete - I can tell you it does take a lot longer. You just don't get from a new commission to first fix by the time the baby kicks! What happened to the planning application, building warrant (which they call building regs even though it's set in Glasgow) and tendering? (which would be absolutely required by a public sector client - Glasgow Corporation?)?????

The practice might hire a maternity cover temp who had practically no experience in the last ten years, to sit at a cad screen and do what she was told, but they would most certainly not put her in charge of this prestigous project.

No architect would ever go on site alone at night. What happened to CDM (health and safety)? If someone fell through a rooflight to her death there would be one almighty HSE investigation - and that could have been quite dramatic.

Varian - so many plot holes! Was there any night security on site?
