Finding Alice

I understand it wants to be built as a dramedy, but I don't understand why Alice is so damn stupid....all her lines and actions are so dumb, is so difficult to relate with this show. You even wonder how she survived to this age, and raised a child. After she lost her partner, and her life becomes a mess, it seems all her concerns are to beg for money to buy wine. I am sorry, I love British series, it never happened before to dislike the main character for being an idiot.

I was really excited to watch this as it has such a great cast but so saddened by the awful script!!

An example of a fine cast not making up for the inadequacies of the writing. The idea was good, the cast was good, it looked good, but the average storytelling crushed the lot.

I just wanted to slap Keeley Hawes' painfully neurotic, self-obsessed and annoying character throughout the two episodes I watched of this, the pairing of Nigel Havers and Joanna Lumley is almost like a wooden comedy act and the storyline two episodes in is just a bit ridiculous, especially the post death scene when a revolving door of characters turn up at the house just after the Harry character's death. Watched two episodes and wished someone had buried the script for this in their garden.

Quite frankly I found it annoying and a waste of my time. I did give it a chance and sat through two episode. The cast high quality - let down by poor script I feel. Just downright disappointing.
