Angela Black

OK, of course the plot is bonkers. Yes Angela is the most gullible person on TV and yes it is unrealistic. But for all that 'Angela Black' kept me entertained and made me watch till the very end. Joanne Froggatt is always watchable but needs to stretch herself a bit now as she does seem to play the same type of role. I reckon there is plenty to come from her.

Decently acted, just leave you sense of reality at the door.

A new drama from the Williams Brothers, writers of Liar, Baptiste and The Missing, is always worth a look.

In the opening episode the excellent Joanne Froggatt appears to have the perfect life as Angela Black, a Grand Designs pad, a charming husband and lovely kids, but plot twist - there's a dark secret..

Nice production values all round, but for me it was a bit too formulaic and the central relationship wasn't quite right. The main problem plot wise was the private investigator, he just didn't ring true, his confessional pitch to her and obsessive determination to help wasn't credible.

Not terrible, not great, an average potboiler.

Don't get the appalling reviews on here. I quite enjoyed binging this. Solid acting and easy to watch . It's not a classic but give it a go . Just don't expect to be wowed!

Angela Black is a suspenseful six part series from ITV, it doesn't follow any of the conventional rules, it seems to take you in a particular direction, but has a habit in moving you somewhere else.

Its very dramatic, and full of twists and turns, it shows the darker side of human nature, and how cruel one person can be.

You'll have to wait until the last episode to learn what's happening, it may just surprise you, I urge you to stick with it, as the ending is very satisfying.

The question you'll be asking throughout, will she be believed?

Terrific acting, Froggat and Huisman are both fantastic, he is chilling in parts, a very sincere villain. A very good supporting cast here also.

8/10.

This could have been a 3 episode series and all the better for it. The idea is OK if a bit done to death, but the writing is just dull, unrealistic and assumes the audience are dull witted.

TV dramas seem to be getting more and more plodding at the moment.
