No Return

I feel I am being generous giving this 5, but it was just about watchable. Very serious flaws, though. Mainly the writing and direction. I find it hard to believe that Sheridan Smith would have willingly performed the role in the way she did. Her expressions in the courtroom scenes were especially poor. The mawkishness of the storylines steadily descended in to ever deeper cringe.

Having written all that, I'm asking myself whether it does really deserve the 5/10. I'd better sign off before I adjust it downwards.

This is a complete mishmash of a plot. Certain things don't add up. There are too many loopholes in the plot, reacting is cheesy in particular the lawyer. It will leave you empty and wondering why you watched it, which I did. If you have ever seen the comedy programme Benidorm in which Sheridan Smith Acted this pretty much seems similar but it's not supposed to. Oh dear oh dear.

Make your own mind up , no spoilers here.

It's a poor storyline that hobbles along. Some reasonable acting making the most of it all. Sheridan Smith doesn't come anywhere near some of her previous performances whilst playing the abrasive worried mother. These problems are offset to a degree by a couple of notable roles such as " I am the circus master" solicitor.

Poorly scripted plot with even dumber subplots and an ending that beggars belief. We watched it because it was shot in Spain but all we learned was that crappy shows can be made in Spain just as easily as anywhere else in the world.

I don't know why I forced myself to watch until the end, but hey no.

MORE, yet more Sheridan smith, are there no other actresses available for drama? That said, she plays the part well but it really wasn't great to watch.

Predictable and pedestrian, not one of ITV's better shows.
