Could it possibly be that a younger man has fallen in love with a well off, mature woman, could his motives possibly be good, or is he simply after her for her money, is he a Gold Digger?

I've read some of the reviews with interest, it's far from perfect, but it is very good, it's worth your time. You will feel annoyed, irritated, you'll assume Julia is living in the clouds, unable to see that the young man she's set to marry is after her for her money, you'll be made to wait a long time to get the answers that you need.

It is very well acted, and deals with some pretty major themes, not just the question of inheritance, we see domestic violence, alcoholism, problems with sexuality, there's a lot here.

One or two of the episodes are a little slow, but when it's good, it's very good, the finale is excellent.

I hope they leave it here, at just the one series, it's a good story, well told, we don't need chapter two.

Very good, 8/10.

The main protagonist was easy on the eye. Let's get that out of the way.

I was thrown into this romance. But just like any whirlwind romance the mysterious love affair asked as many questions as it answered along the way. An emotional journey as in real life. Do you really ever know someone?

Clever. Every twist was plausible. But did I want to believe? Because he was so handsome, I did.

Very cleverly told.

Honestly i enjoyed much. Its better than any other love story making now a days. All the character played their role very well.

Loved this story, an older woman meets a much younger man. They get along but it's clear from the beginning things are not all that they seem. Her grown up kids are messed up & hostile. Benjamin has secrets but hes not the only one hiding something. Worth a watch.

Julia Ormond was brilliant in this role. Very convincing that the younger man would fall in love with her. She wasn't glammed up just a natural beauty. Well written as episodes focussed on the point of view of a different main character each time. The lover, Benjamin was the subject of the final episode when we finally got the answers to why each character behaved and felt as they did. It was also a pleasure to see the beautiful Devon countryside as a back drop to the story.

It's an amazing in depth drama yet again by the BCC, ignore the bad Reviews give it a watch it's well worth it!

I had high hopes after half an hour and although it just gets worse and worse I kept on watching. It desperately tries to create a sense of mystery and intrigue but it's all much too obvious and contrived. The characters all over act and behave in a way that is unrealistic just to try and create further drama. And this will undoubtably be unpopular but the main love angle is cringeworthy in the extreme and neither acts well at all. I don't believe this was thought through at all but just thrown together to complete some contract or other. Still, I kept watching which says more about me than the programme.

It had a promising first few episodes. I was still in for the long run in the middle. And then it went full-on to hell in a hand basket in the last few episodes. I only have so much suspension of disbelief to go around. The script quickly became utterly ridiculous and unbelievable. Such a shame. Julia Ormond is consistently good throughout - but some of the dialogue and situations she's given, it's amazing she could keep a straight face. This was a wasted opportunity to tell a realistic story about love (or even just a tense thriller) revolving around a woman in her second act.

Ben Barnes is something else.. and I knew I wouldn't be disappointed from his work in this series..

It was going so incredibly well.

Spectacular cast and acting by all - not just main characters.

Brilliant script - plausibility was spot on.

So many twist and turns.

Overall the story was very captivating.

I binged watched as it was very difficult to stop.

I enjoyed not being able to guess the next scene or outcome-that is true creative writing.

I enjoy not being spoon fed - I prefer to use my brain receptors to think. Well done on this point.

Unfortunately I found the ending very disappointing. Shame the writer did not feel challenged to produce a different outcome.

The ending needs to be changed.

Ignore the bad reviews and give it a go , I thought it has a good storyline and good acting too !

I enjoyed it overall. Plot is good but a little overdone at times and I think six episodes was probably one too many and with a bit of editing it could have had more punch.

Good acting by a strong cast and well produced and directed. A good twist towards the end but poor old Alex Jennings role was trashed in the final scene. I doubt he was very happy about it !

Worth seeing.

Not all TV drama has to be Merchant Ivory, it can just be good and interesting, without the need for every reviewer thinking they're writing for Rolling Stone.....

This is not a unique story, young guy is after rich older woman (or is he?), but, I really feel the main actors worked hard to embody their characters, especially the children (though they're not kids). I'm a fan of Julia Ormond and at times, I'm not sure if she was just acting naturally, or so embodying the character she's a genius. I binge watched, which I never do, and I really enjoyed it. I would love to see another season, there's definitely scope character-wise, with perhaps a different storyline. I'm currently watching the last ep, and it hasn't disappointed so far.

Intriguing all the way then a GOT ending. Feel like I wasted my time watching all the previous episodes.

Julia Ormond and Ben Barnes' performances are very good and the supporting cast is excellent. Ben Barnes delivers many many good bits - too many to list here. Marnie Dickens wrote and created this series and she and three other women produced it. It is a story about the corrosive effect of domestic violence and how we, mostly women, cope with it. (Check out a review of Rachel Louise-Snyder's book, No Visible Bruises: What We Don't Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us - When Will We Care About Domestic Abuse by Caroline Fraser in the May 28th issue of the New York Review of Books.) There was not one moment that I thought that Benjamin was after Julia's money. The difference in Benjamin and Julia's age is, I think, designed to be and works as a distraction. The bookends for me are the first time Benjamin asks Julia to dance and she tells him she can't remember the last time she was asked. And at their wedding reception when Julia asks Benjamin if he would like to dance and he answers "always". I wish Benjamin and Julia the best! And hope that their relationship turns out like Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron's or even more interestingly like Mary Anne and Benjamin Disraeli's.

Update: having watched the final, appalling two episodes since my initial review I've seen sense and taken the rating down from 3/10 to 1/10. Zero was not possible. ========================================== Have given this 3/10 (and that's very generous) based on the fact my wife and I were kept entertained by how bad this is! So bad in fact that it's weirdly addictive as it just gets worse and worse. The script is terrible and extremely predictable. If you want to see some clichéd rubbish then definitely give this a go. The main character sums it up best when she says the line "it's all just ridiculous isn't it". Yes Julia, it truly is. Awful.

..it's really a series cannot be reviewed w/o seeing all the episodes... Ormond is her usual brilliant-self.. hope she continues with more major-work.. they wanted for the age gap to be one of the main parts of the story-line.. yet there's lots else going on in this 6-part production.. and the glances.. looks.. and slight-smiles tell a story never fully revealed

Maybe if this had been pitched as a straightforward family drama it would have been less disappointing. But since everything about the show is framed as a thriller, it winds up being a complete letdown. First, there are almost no surprises or interesting reveals. The one reveal we do get is so relentlessly teased that one expects a major revelation. Unfortunately, it's a somewhat irrelevant plot point that amounts to a major shrug instead. The biggest problem with the show, though, is that Julia is a completely bland character with no discernible personality. As a result, one almost hopes Ben actually is a gold digger as it's the only reasonable explanation for him being with such a wet blanket.

Probably the most disappointing drama I've ever watched kept waiting for it all to kick off and basically nothing until the last episode indeed you could just watch the 1st and last episode and enjoy it just as much and why put in sex scenes filmed so dark that it's impossible to tell who's at it
