The Holiday

It's an ok show, nothing special but definitely not fantastic either. The main problem is as ever with current shows, text messages. Not everyone watches on a tablet or phone and unless you happen to have binoculars next to your sofa don't expect to see what's been written. Just hope it's not relevant to the storyline!

Four episodes of complete boredom. Characters are boring, acting not much better, To show this over 4 consecutive nights is dreadful. One full episode could have told the story. But, even that would have still been unbearable.

A real shame, I loved the book so much so was really looking forward to this but it just didn't live up to my expectations. The acting isnt bad but not very convincing either. I think it's mainly the directing that couldve been done better.

In these current difficult times it would be wonderful to be able to switch off and watch a series that is entertaining and uplifting. The holiday atmosphere and sun, beach, landscapes are lovely but the characters are unlikeable and odious. The main character is so annoying that I am rooting for her poor suffering husband to leave her. She spends the whole time angry and suspicious, ignoring her kids, then playing the protective, caring mother and just being a wet blanket. No-one seems happy and not one of them has any redeeming feature. Honestly I just felt depressed watching this. I give it 4 stars for the location but if you are in need of cheering up avoid this horrible series. With friends like this who needs enemies.

So disappointed with this. I love T M Logan's books and had read The Holiday so couldn't wait to watch this on TV.

Wish I hadn't bothered. The tv adaptation is terrible. You end up not caring about the characters and the majority of the acting is wooden or over the top.

Don't waste your time and pick up the book instead!
