Our House

It started out really great and was really intriguing. I was so looking forward to the last episode to see what happens but what a let down . The ending was RUBBISH . Really felt let down by the ending. It was great until then.

Really unusual and original start, which made me eagerly watch episode 2/4. Started to go downhill mid-way through this episode, and by the final part, I was close to turning it off before it ended. The ending was complete nonsense and totally farcical. Love Perry-Jones and Compston in other productions, but this....uuugghh!!

Ok, I binge watched it, which I think is the best way. It was a tad predictable, although with a twist at the end I didn't expect. I rate both Tuppence Middleton and Martin Compston and they made a good fist of their roles.

It's ITV drama which usually has a great start and a shockingly bad ending, but this kept up a good story throughout.

Not so much a review of a mediocre 'thriller', more a crit on UK TV drama as a whole. It seems to me that we're trying to impress foreign audiences with a perceived standard of living that is totally unreal. A house like this Edwardian gem would be worth what... £1,000,000 in London? Not far off it at any rate. How on earth could these chumps afford that? Left in a will? Lottery winners? Drug lords? This is not a one-off either. Loads of these middle class thrillerettes spring up with factory production line regularity... and they all live in sodding architect-designed masterpieces in the country, or Tudor relics, stately mansions or six bedroomed gated community horrors. Life just isn't like this for most people. I literally turn off when I see things heading in this direction. 'Happy Valley'... now that's realistic. Real people living real lives in normal houses. Who are we trying to impress? Like I said... there's an eye on foreign markets here - look at the lovely UK... they all shop at Waitrose, have bean-to-cup machines in echoing marble worktop kitchens and their kids have bedrooms that double for conference venues. Jeez. Give me a break. Get real!

Episode 1 was good laying out the story frame. Found it intriguing - episode 2 did not add enough, by three it had nothing. Original idea wasted. The whole point of UK drama having fewer episodes than US drama is that the content is rich and concentrated - now we have short and dilute - not a good bargain.
