The Serial Killer's Wife

Suffering from a flare up of sciatica I thought I'd watch something I don't normally watch - plus it's a Saturday and a long weekend with the bank holiday. Anyway, my partner out for the afternoon I thought I'd give this a go.

First impressions are it has potential so keeps one interested just (about). Although the acting seems wooden I thought it actually worked. The storyline is not one that many people wouldn't know about being about a murder-mystery. But the way it's executed, I think ok editing, loads of unexplained plots , but overall it just seemed to work for me on this occasion.

I'd recommend this to anyone having a lazy day/evening and needs something non-taxing that keeps the interest going. Oh, given some scenes I'd recommend over 13 years and above.

Channel 5 have come up with some really poor dramas in recent years, and this has surely got to be, in my humble opinion, the very worst of them.

It is so poorly executed, I had guessed the outcome after about 15 minutes, Every scene was so contrived, it became very embarrassing to watch.

I dont know why I stuck with it after the first episode, possibly to see if it improved any, but it just got worse.

Every character in this was so miserable, there was no one with any redeeming qualities that would make you want to show an interest in them. The female lead character was so glum and obnoxious, I couldn't care less what happened to her. The whole story was ridiculous, definitely the worst "drama" I have seen in recent years.

Not sure actually what I think of this serie, its a story thin as a paper, lots of stupid fillers cause they want so many episodes as possible and worst of all its boring

Also very good acting and quality production

Its just that,, this is not good enough, the head character is annoying, hard to like her or sympathy with her and the story needed something more , its just not that interesting, and the idea behind the story are a bit pointless and dull

But you want to follow it all the way, and since its well done you keep watching, its not sparkle but it works , british film use to be much better than this.

There are many problems with this series, and there are a few plus points. Thankfully at 4 episodes long, it doesn't suffer an overblown run the way many of them do. It finishes just at the right time.

The biggest issue is the mis-cast of Tom. Jack Farthing may be a fine actor, and he has that dormant psycho air about him. But a successful multi-millionaire Doctor who owns and runs his own GP practice? No, not believable.

Beth as a character is OK and I get the trade off of wanting to continue to live a life of luxury when her love life is falling apart, but she seems to wander from one strained expression to the next. Again Scholey has been a great actor but the development of her character is weak and even when she pulls a clever stunt at the end, it's difficult to side with her. Not helped by anyone with half a brain seeing the ending coming a mile off.

This needs to be filed under 'Could've been so much better'.

How well can you truly know someone you love? That is the question that you will need to ask yourself as you watch this 4-part mini-series.

The story follows Beth, a wife and mother, who finds out in the first few moments of episode one that her husband is accused of murder. From there, she starts to look more closer at her husband who has, to this point, been considered an upstanding member of the community through his elite family lineage of the Fairchilds.

Also a doctor who saves lives, Beth can't help but question if he also takes them when she starts to find clues to suggest that her adoring husband is not who she thinks he is. As the evidence mounts up, she starts to take note that he has a sinister side. Or does he?

This mini series will keep making you question what the answer is until the story gives a solid ending to wrap everything up.
