Finding Alice

This isn't meant to be a serious drama. Let that sink in and enjoy it.

I've watched all 6 avaikable episodes. I was captivated waiting for some satisfying conclusion. To be massively let down by the final episode. Are we to expect a 2nd series to draw the story to a close or are there more episodes to come?

The night that Alice, Harry and their daughter move into their new smart home, tragedy strikes, Alice is left vulnerable financially and mentally.

This is one of the most frustrating dramas I have ever endured. Six parts of melodrama, don't come here expecting mystery, suspense, or anything other than pure melodrama.

Not many of the characters here are likeable, indeed most of them are unpleasant, worst of all is Alice, who sees life through one single lens, her own, she's quite unpleasant.

You get a few chuckles, best character for me has to be Nicola, who's funny and very sincere.

An illustrious cast list including Havers, Lumley, Cranham and Jones, all are wasted. You watch Keeley Hawes in Part 5 of It's a Sin, and get an idea of what she's capable of, compare that to this.

Would I watch it again, or recommend it, the answer is no. All of the talent in this could have made something really good. It's irritating. 5/10.

An example of a fine cast not making up for the inadequacies of the writing. The idea was good, the cast was good, it looked good, but the average storytelling crushed the lot.

Great cast and well acted, but the protagonist Alice is just so painful to watch. Her behaviour and actions are increasingly irritable and you end up really disliking her and struggle to empathise with her.

There are some nice moments as well as some clever satire, but it isn't enough to keep you watching. The story and scenarios are often flawed and implausible, particularly Alice's reactions and behaviour.

We tried to sit through hoping it would improve, but after three episodes we gave up.
