I'm obsessed over Faith's (Eve Myles)hair. She has enough hair for two people! I wish she'd get it out of her eyes, though.

This show is beautifully filmed, incredible acting and the music is wonderful and really fits the theme. I actually downloaded the music, I loved the songs so much.

I love shows that are themed for women, we need more of them. Women stories...written, directed, acted, produced...we need more.

Love that shows are incorporating LGBT characters as real and not out of the ordinary. It's real life, folks.

The color yellow that runs through season one was a nice touch as was the shoes shots.

This show does stretch my imagination that Faith would be attracted to Steve. And, he's too clingy. Just go away. Why don't men get it when women say stay away? And, Evan automatically thinks he can just waltz back into the house and their lives? I'm sorry, but no. She needed a restraining order. Points off for that. Get rid of the mother-in-law, too.

The kids do a great job, their emotions seem real and not forced.

Really well done Welsh series by all involved.

Finally a military show where women are the bad asses! Zoe Saldana is great as the head of an elite CIA group. Not the best casting for the men characters. They're all fat and don't look like they could run a mile without a coronary. The women, on the other hand are smart, attractive and actually look like they could survive infiltrating cartels or terrorist groups without getting killed. Nice to see lesbian characters. The one romance between Cruz and Aaliyah was heartbreaking, but maybe they'll unite again, who knows.

Nicole Kidman delivers a solid, cold performance. Michael Kelly is his usual nasty self. You either love him or hate him. And of course, Morgan Freeman, with that calm voice makes everything seem OK.

On the whole, a really fun, addictive show. Only weak spot is the way the Zoe Saldana character is constantly obsessing over having to leave her family and what that's doing to them and her. Her husband, the doctor never has a problem going to work and leaving the kids. Why is it always the woman with the mental burden?

I originally watched Dr Foster when it originally aired and was sucked in from the first few minutes. I had never heard of Suranne Jones but was really blown away with her performance. I've watched everything she's done since. I decided to re-watch this. It's still as good as it was originally. Some shows don't hold up very well, over the years but this one certainly does. I know some reviewers hate the second season, but I saw nothing wrong with the story. I even think, that if the actors wanted to, they could do a third season right now. I'd love to know if Tom ever comes home. We know Gemma will never leave her house. Will Simon get a new job and build himself up again? There's a lot of story yet to be told.

Back to Suranne Jones.....there are two defining moments in her professional life......Dr Foster and Gentleman Jack's Anne Lister. If she decided to retire now, she could walk away knowing that those two characters she created were phenomenal. And, to break it down further...she left two iconic scenes for us to remember.....the dinner scene in Dr Foster and the "I rise above it" bedroom scene in Gentleman Jack. These two scenes are forever burned in my brain.

One last thought....who cheats on Suranne Jones?? WHO?? Simon got everything he deserved!
