I might watch the ending as long as someone reassures me it's not too horrible!!

No spoilers though, please 😁

I might have to watch this just because I love the title

It made me feel very uncomfortable and we thought it was quite sinister rather than amusing but perhaps the final episode is better.

One of the best programmes for a while. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great characters, good fun. Enjoy

I loved the final party and the ending.. most entertaining and scarily realistic take on a charming fraudster

I don't think this drama series has been discussed before so, having just binge watched the last three episodes I can heartily recommend it.

The Guardian critic describes it as a joyfully fun takedown of a scammer ex-husband. Several years after his sudden disappearance Alice spots her ex in Oxford where he is masquerading as an academic. He took with him all her money and her parents' retirement fund.

Whilst Alice is seeking revenge, a successful author is gradually being caught in his web.

It's a good watch.
