Wanderlust

Very under-rated at 5.7. This is a very well made and sensitive series wth a lot of depth. What starts off as seemingly all about sex turns out to be very far from it. Outstanding performance by Toni Collette and well cast.

Looking at some of the less flattering comments I think it's one of those stories that needs to be watched over a couple of nights ( or if you have real stamina in one go) rather than in single episodes where certain intricacies between the characters may be lost. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I absolutely love this series. I've watched 5 of 6 episodes and I'm savouring the last episode as I just don't want it to end. Nick Payne has done an incredible job of creating and writing this series. So well written, directed, shot, acted - all round a brilliant show and great production values. The cast are great. Best thing I've ever seen Toni Collette do. Must watch TV.

Wanderlust is a lot more ambiguous and complex than people have seen it as. If confused and offended by it's first episodes, let it play out until the end, when everything becomes clearer and gains extra dimension. It is not, as many have suggested, a blatant criticism of marriage and the model of family life.

Funny, illuminating, heartfelt, beautifully shot and edited, great soundtrack.

Wanderlust seems to be quite divisive due to it's subject matter (as shown by some of the rather over-the-top 1-star reviews), but I found it to be extremely touching, witty, and well-acted.

This seems to have already struck a raw nerve with the Haters, but don't be put off, this is not anywhere near as bad as some people are saying.

Obviously, if you're looking for BBC Period templates like Downton Abbey, this is not for you, but if you want an intriguing and honest exploration of sexual desire, taboos and relationships in the modern age, then this ticks those boxes. Plus it's got Toni Colette and Zawe Ashton in it, what more could you want?

And the soundtrack is awesome too.
