Descubriendo a Alice

Quite frankly I found it annoying and a waste of my time. I did give it a chance and sat through two episode. The cast high quality - let down by poor script I feel. Just downright disappointing.

I've watched all 6 avaikable episodes. I was captivated waiting for some satisfying conclusion. To be massively let down by the final episode. Are we to expect a 2nd series to draw the story to a close or are there more episodes to come?

I just wanted to slap Keeley Hawes' painfully neurotic, self-obsessed and annoying character throughout the two episodes I watched of this, the pairing of Nigel Havers and Joanna Lumley is almost like a wooden comedy act and the storyline two episodes in is just a bit ridiculous, especially the post death scene when a revolving door of characters turn up at the house just after the Harry character's death. Watched two episodes and wished someone had buried the script for this in their garden.

I almost decided not to watch this as it was rated 5.6 overall but then I read a 10* review against a 1* review and knew I had to watch it. And I'm so glad I did. This is an excellent black comedy with a great plot and some very funny one liners. Of course, I understand perfectly why some people might not take to this; black comedy is not to everyone's taste. However, anyone who derides the acting just because they don't like the script is entirely ignorant of the craft/art of acting; this is a cast of superb actors and they know exactly how to play this script. I look forward to the second series.

A quality cast could not make up for the inadequacies of the writing. The idea was good but the average drama took over from the quality humour. Will give series 2 a miss.
