The Nest

Maybe if they had paid attention to the storyline they would realise it's not a social worker but a property developer who owns half of Glasgow. Interesting plot with the added bonus of no false Glasgow accents.

Firstly, the acting is phenomenal. It's not often I see a programme where every character is acted superbly, we feel every ounce of their emotions and despite the short 5 part series, we actually develop feelings for each character.

The series is exciting, gripping and full of twists, yet sometimes I found the show infuriating. There are times you see Kaya treated rather oddly by Dan and Emily - I understand it could be possible for Emily to be so pedantic and over the top, however I did find it weird for Dan to be so aggressive towards Kaya. There were times I felt a simple conversation would have sorted the predicament so I did occasionally feel the script was unrealistic.

Overall however I thoroughly enjoyed the show - the first four episodes were superb yet I did find the last episode a bit slow and tedious, however the first four episodes more than made up for that.

If you're debating what to watch, then I'd really recommend this programme. You'll enjoy it.

It is the way Scots speak. If you were to hear "small girl" or "little girl" ten times in a movie, would you think that a parody.

Small view of the world...

I liked this in spite of myself. The story was incredulous, which would normally ruin such a series, but it's done in such a way that you just kind of go with the flow and enjoy it. All the actors give such stellar performances, you can almost forgive the story being weak. Shame some characters just fizzled out and it wasn't really clear what they added.

I am also slightly biased as Glasgow is now my home, and it is very often wet and grey, yet in this series I think it rained twice and the drone shots of the city landscape were brilliant. It was nice to see it looking dazzling! Also the house the couple lived in by the loch was stunning and it was worth watching just to appreciate that view!

Entertaining, but the fact that most of the characters have such special circumstances makes it less believable and makes me lose focus on the main story and creates the need for several prequels that would surely be more interesting to me:

• EMILY, prequel title: The princess. A typical person with a vocation for the center of the world. Once something happened to her and, consequently, life owes her the fact that everything is as she wishes. I hated the character for being a 'posturing person' and the actress left me cold.

• DAN, prequel title: The criminal. I can understand what he did in his past, but boy, ending up in the brick sector, I am not going to comment much more ... The evolution and logic of the character seems quite credible and I liked the actor.

• KAYA, prequel title: Opportunity and improvement: poor kid, bad life from the beginning, with a mother more than despicable. A survivor. Logical evolution of a strong character. Convincing work of the actress.

Even more could be added, since the secondary characters are also endowed with history: Dan's sister and nephew, Kaya's mother (excellent character for excellent actress, perhaps the best of the series) and Kaya's social worker ...

In summary, the surrogacy theme and the power play that this can bring is well developed, but the only thing in the series that I consider pure gold is when it shows us how you could let yourself go through life if you let others decide for you.
