    If you need talking heads to tell a story it's not a great story

    The talking heads technique in this episode involved 3 women giving motherhood statements in a cold, emotionless way.

    The rest of the episode was very rushed with too many scenes of characters going back and forth to different countries to try and have some closure. The final airport scene was particularly very, very rushed and the husband basically didn't put up a fight to leave his insufferable wife behind.

    There is already talk of a Season 2 but what ground there is left to cover I'm not quite sure.

    A lot of reviewers are criticising the unlikeable characters but I don't think that's the main problem; they just seem rather dull and aimless. There's no poetry or conviction or anything remotely artistic about the way their stories have been told.

    The director seems to push this idea of using jarring or awkward or bland shots such as mops propped against walls which, it turns out, doesn't symbolise anything at all or lead to any interesting revelations.

    I didn't think it could get any worse

    I struggled through to the end hoping for a good conclusion to the pedestrian series but they did the impossible and the last episode was painfully drawn out to a nothing ending.

    Weak story line and weaker acting.

    What a waste of time.

    It seems as though the last episode was setup to lead in to a second season but surely no one could want this to continue for another 6 hours?

    The side stories seems as though they had a few workshops throwing out story lines that weren't good enough for their own films and decided to throw them in to the last episode to fill out the time.

    No twists, no decent conclusion and no clue!
