The Ex-Wife

... for me, there are two productions to date that exemplify the top notch acting ability of Celine Bunkens.. 'Showtrial' and 'The Ex-Wife'... she's just got that camera-grabbing-gaze.. and when she's on-screen she-dominates... this series is short at only four episodes, be sure to give yourself opportunity of time, so all episodes can be watched in a single viewing

... storyline follows the genre, and is well produced-directed-scored... it is Celine Bunkens show from start to ending, with exemplary turns from all-other-supporting-actors... ending gave a slight hint there could be more coming in the future, sure hope so... it's really one of the best mini-series of '22.. (and-hopefully '23)

The reviewers who struggled to warm to Jack and Jen have no idea how clinically wired Narcissists are.

Jack's control methods,gaslighting,abuse of Tasha are accurate. His acting portrayed how calibrated they are and how they use their prey for supply. Supply of whatever they need. They are brutal and most are psychopaths.

If they are revealed they often turn to violence,withhold food,freedom etc and snap. Snap meaning ,if their ego is no longer massaged they go into blind rage ,murder and/or injuring the innocent.

The weaknesses are in editing and mismatching music scores. The theme of Narcissism is accurate and informative. Jack uses sex and mental trickery and gifts. Textbook.

Maybe not as good as the really good UK series, but it is up there with some of the good ones and short enough to spend the time in one sitting binge watching it.

The only name actor I recognised is Janet Montgomery and she does a great job as usual, most of the other actors also dod did their job well. It was a tad predictable in places, but with some really good twists keeps you guessing as the story unfolds.

Flashbaks give the story a more depth and help explain some of the less understandable part of why things happened the way they did.

My only gripe was that the lack of police involvement, this made the whole thing a bit unbelieveable.

Still gets a 7/10 for me although I dont think I would watch it a second time round.

Intense psychological drama with a narcissistic sociopath at its center, lying, manipulating, and gaslighting everyone else for one singular selfish purpose. I have been in a relationship with someone exactly like this, so maybe the negative reviews are from people who have either been lucky not to know that this character is believable or see something of themselves in this psycho.

I have to write 195 more characters without giving anything away, Plenty of twists and turns that I didn't expect, and I'm usually the one to predict even the most unpredictable of plots, so I would recommend this short series.

Loved this series. Four episodes was just perfect - not dragged out. Great acting from all the main actors, great story line and all round great drama series. I loved Celine Buckens in Show Trial and she was just as fabulous in this.

I hadn't watched Tom Mison since Sleepy Hollow and he brought such a believable darkness to this role. Chilling.

I'm thankful that I have a Paramount+ subscription so I could watch it. If you don't, you are missing out on a show like this one. 4 words - 7 day free trial!

People should definitely take the time to watch this one. It's well worth it, and you won't be disappointed.
