Finding Alice

I love black comedy and don’t find this distasteful, just not funny or witty. Tried second episode to give it a chance and turned it off after 10 mins, just too daft.

It’s on itv hub so seen the 6 episodes. Think it will have another series.

I can’t imagine why loveto I haven’t heard anyone who enjoyed it yet

Seems to make no difference if ‘they’ want to do a second series.

‘Hold The Sunset’, a prime example.

I rest my case.

Just watched on catch-up. Don't know why I bothered. Keeley Hawes at her worst, silly smile included. No basis in normality at all. If they kept roling the body out for her to see wouldn't it have begun to decay? Imagine having that in your house!!!!

Total dross!

I gave up after 4 episodes, I just lost interest.

I watched it in one go, I liked the dark humour but I did think they tried to tick every politically correct box as possible and it got a bit tiring. I do realise I am turning into my Mother. Surely building standards wouldn't have signed off a flight of stairs open like that anyway? and she wouldn't be able to keep going into the hospital morgue like that?

Keeley Hawes at her worst, silly smile included.

I so agree, especially the smile.

Late to the party as only finished watching it on Catch up yesterday but found it very annoying. So many reasons to shout at the TV. Also concerned how the recently bereaved would see it. So unrealistic! That maybe wouldn't have mattered if it had been funny, but it definitely wasn't.

Ok still sticking with it. It's so unrealistic though, the buyers she turned the hose on would have gone straight to the police to have her charged with assault. And how does a woman in 2021 not know that an unmarried partner of a man who dies intestate is likely to lose everything?

I have watched it and tried but failed to like it. Ridiculous story line, wooden acting (Joanna Lumley) and Keeley Hawes grinning like a demented Cheshire Cat. I agree with the comments above about how unrealistic the situations are. I will stick with Spiral and The Bay.

A pretty good example of how NOT to run your life, not only her partner not bothering with the future but the decisions that Alice herself is making.

A “ Tour de Force” on how to get it wrong - to the point of farce

I am thoroughly enjoying it.
Can't imagine how it will end, not sure that it will, properly, but surreal, utterly unrealistic, subtle acting and, I really believe, an exploration of grief.

How do you all manage to watch itvhub? Do you watch on the tv set or laptop?If on tv could anyone tell me if it works on any smart tv?

It should work on any smart tv.

Still persevering with Alice. I've decided the problem is far too many story lines. There's Why did Harry fall down stairs? How is Charlotte coping? Why have his parents got the house? What is his business partner up to? What is his sneaky son up to? What does she think she's doing trying to have Harry's baby at this point? Plus all the sub plots, her parents, Harry's sister, the weird bereavement group. Each episode just bounces around from one to another without getting anywhere. Some drastic pruning might have produced a gripping drama.

Don’t forget Deedaa his other children with his business partner. There will be a least two more series to sort all that out if not more. I feel dissatisfied with the cliff hanger ending of this series.

It doesn’t do anything for me. Usually a fan of black humour but not a fan of no humour. It just all seems rather silly and a waste of some good actors.
Also agree with those who say we are overloaded with the same faces, chefs doing quiz programmes, quiz hosts doing travel programmes, news presenters on adverts. Time to bring out some new talent and give the youngsters a chance.

Yesterday I thought phew, last Finding Alice tonight. I was in the strange position of wanting to know what happened and yet not really enjoying it. The only character I cared about was the poor daughter - and what was John Stape doing there! Does Fizz know?
Now it seems there will be a series 2. Please let me find the strength not to start watching it.

I gave up half way through and have found plenty of other things to watch. Keeley seems to be in most things though!!

We stuck with it though heavens knows why.
Dire.
Keeley (or her agent) did not choose well accepting that part for her IMHO.

We stuck with it but thought it ridiculous. So glad to see this was the last episode but then we realised there will inevitably be a second series. Must make sure we don’t waste our time watching it.

Oh dear, I watched it from the beginning. Hoping it would get better......
The final one, last night, I thought would prove that I had been right to persevere! It just threw up more questions.
Will another series be better? I need all those ends tying up.!!

The end a great let down there must be another series to follow .
