Playing Nice

The story really fits the bleak winter of Cornwall. The characters can be a little infuriating, but you're left to stew in your own emotions while you wait for the story to evolve.

Loved seeing Mevagissey as it's rarely seen in Cornish TV programs. Watergate, Truro and Saint Agnes, as well as a few south coast beaches also take a starring role.

But the scenery does it for me. It's the real deal.

In an age of fakery and cgi, this drama feels real and at a pace that you'll soon get used to, like the pace of life in Cornwall, UK.

I suggest you go find these places off season, you won't be disappointed.

This is a great story. Lots of times I found myself wondering what I'd do in their situation and it was worth the binge watch. Lots of moral questions asked throughout.

Well acted- I found all the main characters to be believable and they were well cast. Even the kids did well!

The scenery of Cornwall played a part here too, it was visually interesting too and gave a dramatic edge to it.

At various points there are twists and turns and obviously lots at the end. This is certainly one of the best UK TV dramas I've seen for a while (not big like Netflix etc) and makes a nice change from police dramas.

Give it a watch.

It's not an easy series to watch; on the contrary, it's quite intense and also frustrating.

I must admit that after watching the first episode, I decided to take a break; it's not my type of series. But it stuck in my head, It's addictive and very psychologycal.

And of course I love British series, and this one is in beautiful Cornwall, nice photography by the way. :)

In addition, the series addresses issues of role division, self-development, 'nature and nurture', social institutions and the changing social view of these matters.

The castig is also quite good.

I did miss a lot more emotion and excitement in some of the characters, and the ending seemed really weak and .. I would have chose something less cheesy overal.

Ideal for viewers with a strong sense of justice (although it is hard to watch) and a preference for grounded British drama. Interesting topic.

High hopes for this mini-series, but these were quickly dashed within 10 minutes of the first episode.

Formulaic, predictable and entirely unbelievable. A waste of a promising premise and quality cast.

By the time you get to the end of the final episode, you know what is going to be the outcome, but will struggle to care either way. Pantomime villains and seems to borrow a lot of the main protagonist's characteristics from Sleeping with the Enemy, only not as well or as menacingly.

There are so many flaws in the plot you lose the ability to empathise with the characters despite the awful situation.

It could and should have been so much better!

I watched this as I'm on maternity and it's close to my heart because I've just been through the NNU experience myself, so it was lovely to watch to trigger so of my emotions I think I needed to feel, relating to the characters.

Some of the scenes were a little far fetched and some were 'why wouldn't you or would you' moments, which did hold me back fully enjoying the series.

The acting was brilliant, as I said I could really relate to the mothers in this.

The series was just the right amount of episodes and time per episodes, I could stop an episode half way through and pick it back up quite quickly.

8/10 because I'd recommend, and watch again. Just lacking those two points for the storyline being a little over stretched.
