Kat & Alfie: Redwater

When they were first introduced in 'Eastenders' Kat and Alfie were fun characters, who the nation willed and wished to be together. Because of course they were trapped in a soap however they soon got ruined, and ended up with more baggage than audiences could keep up with.

This spin-off however was a chance to lose some of that and to give the characters a fresh lease of life.

Yes, it's trying a little too hard to be like 'Broadchurch', but there's a lot of like here, not least the winning performances of Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie, who seem to be enjoying the escape from Albert Square.

Will this catch on? Time will tell. For now though this is a decent enough piece of TV drama.

Very like a soap. But the end is totally unresolved. It's all a bit of a prime for series 2.

You get to the end and ask yourself why did I waste my time with this.

This show is full of twists and suspenseful moments and I hope Season 2 comes along very quickly. I don't watch EastEnders, as I'm in Australia, so these characters were new people to me. As always the acting is very good with the storyline being strong. Both of course is usual in British TV series and why I prefer UK or Canadian dramas.

I really enjoyed the scenery, the plot, the acting and all the secrets! Why isn't there another season offered on BritBox? This is a series I would purchase as a box set if it was offered.

Loved this series & couldn't wait for each episode, being left dangling on the cliff hanger end, there MUST be a second series! We're fans of drama mysteries & certainly didn't expect this to be a new favourite!

Faultless acting, fabulous scenery, mystery & drama that we didn't expect from an 'Eastenders' spin off. Our only worry is what appears to be the killing off of 'Alfie', a much loved character & so fantastically portrayed by Shane Ritchie, which would be a great loss to both series.
