For a drama that touched upon a number of tough subjects, it ends with a sense of hope and fulfilment which is often missing in UK TV dramas.

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.

Had it been a Hollywood film, Kaya would be a psychotic murderer and the plot would have been violent. Instead, there was the power of love and the hope of redemption. The soundtrack should not be ignored. It was lovely and haunting.

Top notch drama, . Nice to see such a quality production filmed in and around Glasgow with the creme de la creme of Scottish acting talent in David Hayman and Martin Compston. Many critics say Compston does a good Glasgow accent, after only being familiar with his performances in Line Of Duty. Well he would have "a good Glasgow accent " as he was brought up in Greenock, not far from Glasgow, The young girl playing the troubled teen is an excellent actress and must surely have a successful acting career ahead of her. I am sure we will see a lot more of her in years to come. Thisis an enthralling drama that really does get you thinking about each character and are they what they seem.

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.

The characters have a great depth and they slowly get revelead to the viewer with good plot twists! After episode 2 is hard to know yet if the main male character is a good character or a villain... good suspence and "misteri" which will make you curious to watch the new episode!

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.

A very interesting and clever plot, great acting and good solid story that until the last half hour of the last episode you didn't quite know how it would play out. Lovely scenery and nice city shots and great to see a proper satisfying ending.

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!

Started out strong but after the first 2 episode it started to decline all around. It was like they had to finish or didn't know how to develop the story line past the first couple of episodes. Very disappointing! Frankly I would NOT recommend wasting one's time

Admittedly I'm not Scottish, but the words "wee" and "lassie" are overused throughout this show to the point of parody. The characters are also not very likable, which makes it hard to root for anyone or understand why others in the story are so invested in what happens to them. The plot was entertaining enough, though, that the 5 episodes went by fairly quickly.

The best thing I have watched for a long time. Loved that it had a completely different type of storyline than what we're all used to seeing - but still kept you on tenterhooks. Cant understand the negative reviews. So gripping from the start, with lots of twists, the main one taking the show in a completely different direction than I had imagined! I was pleasantly surprised with the last episodes, leaving you wanting to know more about Kayas background. The acting was phenomenonal, you warmed to each character from the start and really felt Kayas pain and torment. Well worth a watch. I would love to see a series two with the same characters.

Literally made me cry at the end. Been so long since a programme had me locked into it. At the beginning you feel it's a normal series but the end just killed me. Amazing acting and screen written.

The acting was solid by all the characters. Though Kaya (Mirren Mack) looked a bit too old for the 18yr old part she was playing. This series kept me interested up until episode 4 where it started dragging out and by the time the last episode 5 began, any mystery or twist had been well dealt to and it developed a sloppy soapy feel. So the ending went out with a fizzle. Maybe one episode too long for the material.

'The Nest' tells the story of a surrogate pregnancy, but it's far from a straighforward tale. Everyone brings their own backstory and hidden motivations; there's a thriller-like element in that we don't know who we can trust. But ultimately the drama is weakened by its own construction, making the earnest but obvious point that sometimes the legitimate interests of highly-flawed but essentially decent human beings are in conflict, while lacking in dramatic impulse. In the near-final scene, a judge delivers a verdict that feels painfully transparent as a fence-sitting moral to the story. When a series holds back from taking the side of (or showing us the inner mind of) any of the characters, so, unfortunately, does the viewer.

Started well enough as the characters and plot develop but the ending is rather an anticlimax. Cast perform well enough but more could have been made of the shady underworld connections of Martin Compston's role.

All in all I wouldn't watch it again.

Hard to find anybody likable. Everyone is pursuing their own interests without much regard for others. Feel good, pollyanish ending. Not sure where season 2 goes from here. Not much background to characters which made it difficult to understand them & their actions, but contributed to the suspense. Also left too many holes in subplots unexplained. Overall story was unique & well written fulfilling its goal of keeping viewers wondering at the outcomes.

It's a terrific series, it's dark, intriguing, and has the ability to take you on an unexpected journey, I had expected a Cuckoo in the Nest story, the reality is so much deeper.

It gets better and better as it develops, personally I thought the first episode was the weakest, and a bit of a stretch, by part two I was engrossed.

The acting is the best aspect, the performances are excellent, Mirren Mack is so impressive, all are wonderful, but as is so often the case it's the diminutive Shirley Henderson who steals the show, she is tremendous.

It will have done wonders for Scottish tourism, it looks magical and rugged. That house is exquisite.

Worthy of a blu ray purchase, this was excellent, 9/10.

Was really looking forward to this ,could not give it a higher rating than 6..although with all the twist and turns was certainly intriguing. My complaint and that which ruined for me was the the broad Scottish accent very hard to understand much of the dialogue..with subtitles in English would have given it a 9
