Pequeños desastres

Poor all round tbh.

It started with some promise, although the main female characters 'talking' to the camera directly should have been a red flag.

Gradually, it got worse with each episode. The acting generally was not great (apart from the exception of the kids perhaps). Diane Kruger seemed to be doing an impression of 21st century Nicole Kidman (sorry, but that's not meant as a compliment)

Ultimately, I'd wasted so much time in this, I watch to the end (stupidly).

Some of the cast can certainly act.

If you want to see JJ Feild (Ed) and Stephen Campbell Moore (Rob?) excel, watch Stag, one of my favourite TV shows ever.

I watched this, not being that interested in the plot, but mainly because I am a Jo Joyner fan from Shakespeare and Hathaway. That said, by the end of the first episode, despite finding Diane Kruger pretty insufferable (which she remains throughout), the absurd use of characters talking directly to the camera, and the highly annoying overuse of Jess's fantasies, I was hooked.

Through the first four episodes, it was very engrossing. But around late episode 4 and into 5, some signs start to appear where you're like "aw man, I hope this isn't going where I think this is going" and sure enough, as one character in particular becomes more and more comic-book villain-like, it goes there. It all comes to a terrible, terrible end where the writers decide to wrap everything up in the neatest of bows, erasing ALL the interesting nuances and grey areas that kept the series interesting and painting everything with a black-and-white brush that clearly separates the victims from the evildoers. Ugh.

Wow I Thought this series was amazing . I Was gripped from the start .I Watched the whole thing in one night , and I would highly recommend especially because it touches on postpartum depression and ocd which I don't think is talked about enough . Loved all the characters and I thought Diane Kruger gave an outstanding performance along with Jo Joyner . Makes you think how quickly things can escalate and people can judge you for being a new mum .i love jo Joyner anyway and watch most of her dramas . Have recommended to all my family and friends to watch this fab drama, can't wait for more by the same writers .

Ignore the negative reviews as it's very hard to understand why they are so critical. This was a very enjoyable and entertaining mini-series. The plot held together and the acting was great, and overall it was entertaining.

Maybe I felt more related to the characters as someone with similar age children then if a younger audience watched the show (which might be why there are negative reviews).

I was immediately gripped within the first few minutes of viewing as I could resonate with a lot from the outset; being a mother, feeling overwrought and the highs and lows of being a parent. The characters were compelling enough and I really wanted to know more about them.

I've always enjoyed Jo Joyner's work and although I'm familiar with Diane Kruger's name and face, I was not familiar with her work so I was intrigued. I thought it was a win-win binge watching this one afternoon.

There were a few creative choices I was unsure about without giving too much away. All I will say is that I don't think they added more to the plot device but rather slowed it down affecting the overall pace. It did feel like they spent far too much time focusing on the surplus pieces of narrative that when it became time to reveal the poignant, most significant part(S) it was all stuffed into the last 20 minutes of the series which made things rather infuriat. Personally, that was a bit of a letdown. There were also far too many plot holes that became irksome towards the end.

All in all, it was a decent series, there was just something missing that could have made it better.
