A Ex-mulher

Maybe not as good as the really good UK series, but it is up there with some of the good ones and short enough to spend the time in one sitting binge watching it.

The only name actor I recognised is Janet Montgomery and she does a great job as usual, most of the other actors also dod did their job well. It was a tad predictable in places, but with some really good twists keeps you guessing as the story unfolds.

Flashbaks give the story a more depth and help explain some of the less understandable part of why things happened the way they did.

My only gripe was that the lack of police involvement, this made the whole thing a bit unbelieveable.

Still gets a 7/10 for me although I dont think I would watch it a second time round.

They should have left this as one season. The second season was utterly abysmal. It was so over the top and unnecessary. The first season was believable but the second was ridiculous. They tried way too hard to fill every episode with drama and action that it became silly and it almost became unwatchable. It was bad enough from the get go when the character of Jen had a different actress and personality but it just got worse as it went on. I'd have given the first season an 8 but sadly the second season tried too hard to be something it wasn't and went down an awful tacky spiral and has sadly dragged the overall score down. Watch the first season but pretend there isn't a second and leave it there.

Bad things happen & I empathize. If bad things happen to good people, I empathize more. However, when bad things happen to someone who is so incredibly lacking in common sense or logic or intelligence or the ability to learn from her mistakes ... well, it's impossible to empathize. It's just frustrating, until I was outright angry that someone wrote this character, someone thought it was OK, and others thought it was OK to make a miniseries around it. I made it a few minutes into Ep3, then couldn't even be in the same room with it. I can't think of the last time I was so repulsed by a main character, that I wanted so much for the villain (who was so insane that there's no way he could have been so successful in business) to finish off the main character once and for all. Put her out of her misery ... and me.

One of the most unbelievable and stupid shows I've ever been forced to watch by my girlfriend. The general story could have worked well - but with all of the characters lacking any sense of realistic emotion/likeability meant I spent half of the time laughing at the comical plot twists.

Pretty much everything that happens defies both logic and sense (unless you live an alternate hell like universe full of sociopaths) with the story moving from one travesty to another.

By the end of it you have to accept all the characters have no redeeming qualities and you couldn't care less about any of them.

Avoid this unless you like an accidental comedy or are extremely gullible.

The Lord of the Rings is probably more believable in terms of realism.

... for me, there are two productions to date that exemplify the top notch acting ability of Celine Bunkens.. 'Showtrial' and 'The Ex-Wife'... she's just got that camera-grabbing-gaze.. and when she's on-screen she-dominates... this series is short at only four episodes, be sure to give yourself opportunity of time, so all episodes can be watched in a single viewing

... storyline follows the genre, and is well produced-directed-scored... it is Celine Bunkens show from start to ending, with exemplary turns from all-other-supporting-actors... ending gave a slight hint there could be more coming in the future, sure hope so... it's really one of the best mini-series of '22.. (and-hopefully '23)
