Angela Black

Don't get the appalling reviews on here. I quite enjoyed binging this. Solid acting and easy to watch . It's not a classic but give it a go . Just don't expect to be wowed!

After episode 3 things start to get more interesting. This is not as simple a story as it may seem. Not a brilliant show but interesting. Plus with Joanne Froggett in it it will always be watchable. Put yourself in her shoes - what would you think / do?

Is this the slowest drama on television? Three episodes in and still no further forward than episode one. Joanne Froggatt is a good actress but it's too similar to Liar. Overall it's too dull for its own good.

OK, of course the plot is bonkers. Yes Angela is the most gullible person on TV and yes it is unrealistic. But for all that 'Angela Black' kept me entertained and made me watch till the very end. Joanne Froggatt is always watchable but needs to stretch herself a bit now as she does seem to play the same type of role. I reckon there is plenty to come from her.

Decently acted, just leave you sense of reality at the door.

A new drama from the Williams Brothers, writers of Liar, Baptiste and The Missing, is always worth a look.

In the opening episode the excellent Joanne Froggatt appears to have the perfect life as Angela Black, a Grand Designs pad, a charming husband and lovely kids, but plot twist - there's a dark secret..

Nice production values all round, but for me it was a bit too formulaic and the central relationship wasn't quite right. The main problem plot wise was the private investigator, he just didn't ring true, his confessional pitch to her and obsessive determination to help wasn't credible.

Not terrible, not great, an average potboiler.
