I wanted to like this lots of big tv names in the cast There were parts I enjoyed bu t I found the storyline so far fetched so unbelievable that I felt in a different universe
Did anyone else feel this or what did you think ?

Another drama where you need to suspend disbelief. It was amusing, silly and very tongue in cheek. Sometimes like reading chick lit its what you need at the time.
Not everything needs to be deep and meaningful.

I watched it because I have a soft spot for Robson Green, but I got totally lost at times, there was one point when I thought I had missed an episode because it seemed to have wandered so far off course! Not sure I shall bother watching anymore if they decide to do another series!

I enjoyed it, especially the last episode where it all came together while going pear shaped. The six months flashing forwards and backwards was confusing though.

I did hope the famous footballer was going to turn up and acknowledge his daughter. Shame they didn't stick that in with all the other mayhem.

I don’t usually mind going back and forth a bit but this so confused me ( I was catching up on my iPad and felt so confuddled that I went out of it and back to the last episode as I thought I d missed a whole episode out but I hadn’t) Can you really get divorced and remarried in 6 months it was pretty daft to be honest Where did Lisa Riley’s boyfriend / partner/ husband suddenly arrive from
Dramas don’t have to be dark and murderous but they do need to be believable or else they should term it a comedy of errors in my opinion

It was wonderfully daft and a bit of silly summer fun, enjoyed it.

I over it. Particularly the Sue Johnston character.
Good fun and also poignant.
