Single Father

Amazing, emotional show. Big props to the full cast especially the boy who plays Ewan. Top notch.

I heard so many tales about widowers getting over the "devastation" of losing their wives amazingly fast. tale as old as time, first time I've seen it in action thought. i bet David Tennant made every female cry watching him mourn Rita then second episode i was annoyed by how fast Dave got over Rita but as i said its probably one of the most truthful aspects of the story.

I really liked this. The story was well-paced and the main character was flawed enough to be relateable. The kid-actors were fantastic and the silent grief of Dave was completely believable. There are probably better stories out in the world, but this one was relateable and interesting, with quite an interesting storyline for the teenage daughter so it wasn't purely focused on the grief.

I won't give 10 stars because there are some things that weren't to my personal liking, but throughout a solid 8

The script had the actors jumping all over the place and the editing was choppy and chaotic. This made watching a chore. The confusion was just too much and led to a lack of engagement with the story. Gave up after the first episode.

okay, fist: I love David Tennant, reason I saw this. Second: I only saw one episode. So perhaps it gets better. But the melodrama in the first episode was just too much for me. The acting is way lower than normal BBC television. The story could have been so good. But I couldn't detach to the characters because the total over the top acting. That mustn't be the fault of the actors. It is in the script and the directing and everything together is just not very good. The only performance I liked was the one of the oldest daughter, Natasha Watson as Lucy. Probably a movie for David Tennant fans, and teens and grans on holiday. But this is definitely not David Tennant at his best.
