The Split

Lots to like about this drama. I loved the directing and screenplay, and most of the acting is excellent. In particular the lead actors were uniformly good. But a special mention of Elizabeth Roberts who played Liv and somehow managed to copy the body language of Hannah her mother.

So why not higher than 7? Quite a bit, really. I found the intensity of the lawyers' personal lives increasingly annoying. The twists and turns of Hannah and Nathan's marriage were especially gruesome. Will she run off with Christie or won't she. Eventually I could hardly care.

But it was worth persisting.

Love everything about The Split! What a surprise I had no idea I would be watching something that I absolutely enjoyed beginning to end.. i coud go on and on about it but to me its a window into a family living life.. an imperfect family thats very real . I feel as if i know them...

I've loved every single episode of this show. The casting is second to none and Nicola Walker is breathtaking as Hannah Stern. The dynamic between the characters works on every level. It's a sensitive and difficult subject and you get to see all aspects of that across the series. The writer/writers got it spot on. Easily one of the best U. K. drama shows. It is an emotional roller coaster, heartwarming and sad. There are predictable elements that shock when it happens and then others you second guess and are left strangely disappointed that they didn't happen. Thoroughly engaging.

It's human, real, with no frills. Doesn't sweeten the pill and hits the nail on the head without turning into a soap. It's about everyday real life and (family) relationships. I'm also partial towards Nicola Walker whom I've watched in pretty much everything she's done - she's just great. Rest of the cast really good too. Would recommend.

I'm not a big fan of law shows, but I like Nicola Walker so I thought I'd give it a shot. It was good from the start but by episode 3 I simply loved it. The characters, the acting and the writing is all well done. When season one ended I assumed my streaming service would go straight to season 2. That was my only disappointment-I can't find where to stream season 2 : (
