Significant Others

I really loved this series. It really pulls are your heart strings. I cried at least once every episode. Anyone with half a heart should watch it.

All the cast did an absolutely brilliant job, with the two kids (3 actually) and Todd giving stand out performances. I've always found Todd to be funny, but in this role, which was far from comical, I really think it was made for him and he played it flawlessly.

The production values were really great too and it's obvious that everyone involved put their heat and soul into making what was a really great show dealing with emotional topics.

I highly recommend this series.

I was somewhat intrigued by where this story was going and was prepared for it to develop. The first three episodes were a little disjointed but there was enough there to warrant seeing how the Therese were going to be tied together. However episode 4 was a complete waste of time. There was nothing in this episode that made any sense. It just meandered through a whole lot of scenes that had no connection to anything we'd seen before. There was no intrigue unless you consider no story development at all as intrigue. There was nothing in it that made me want to sit through another meandering hour. I'm sure the writers will do something with it in the remaining episodes but I won't be there to find out.

The first two episodes had me intrigued. It was a good solid story of a missing woman, presumably drowned. A dysfunctional family come together to try to find their missing mother/sister.

Episode 3 was watched with great anticipation. Did she drown? Will the family resolve their differences under this cloud? But the episode was a total disappointment. The acting was clunky. The storyline seemed disjointed and confused. And why chuck in a random sex act? Did it add value? I think not.

Much discussion was had in our household. Should we persevere with this series? We decided to give it one more go. Perhaps episode 3 was a slump and it would pick back up in ep 4. Wrong! We bailed about halfway through it and have decided to ditch this series. Episode was as slow as a wet week, and seemed to be filmed in real time. The ep added nothing to the story and seemed to have forgotten that the series is about the missing family member.

Did she drown or was there foul play? I'll never know...

Dysfunctional family relationships. Siblings are divided and alienated from each other... nephew and nieces alienation and isolated children and no real connections or unconditional love. Sibling abuse behaviour and bullying towards one sibling and family relationships are tedious and torturous.the sisters are manipulative and emotionally vulnerable. People in denial or dysfunctional or alcoholics or hierarchical family systems or narcissistic parent or narcissistic care givers or no way to write teenagers script good attempt to articulate their behaviour and experience of their families dysfunction.

So disappointed. I waited week after week for the newest episode, and the creators decided to throw every trope up in the air.

Not one character is worth liking except for the daughter. Everyone is a monster...and when, you might feel some empathy, it is torn away by these characters reactions.

Ugh...it was 1- centric. No one was 3 dimensional.

The first two episodes were really engaging. This basically tried to show family problems with a frigged up family, but, all I was hoping for, was the missing person to come back, because these relatives were lethal. Seriously, a NOT watch.

A mom of two kids goes swimming. She doesn't return. Other siblings are called. This had potential but veered down a one way of boredom after episode 2.
