I watched this as I'm on maternity and it's close to my heart because I've just been through the NNU experience myself, so it was lovely to watch to trigger so of my emotions I think I needed to feel, relating to the characters.
Some of the scenes were a little far fetched and some were 'why wouldn't you or would you' moments, which did hold me back fully enjoying the series.
The acting was brilliant, as I said I could really relate to the mothers in this.
The series was just the right amount of episodes and time per episodes, I could stop an episode half way through and pick it back up quite quickly.
8/10 because I'd recommend, and watch again. Just lacking those two points for the storyline being a little over stretched.

This is compelling uncomfortable viewing that pulls you in and gets you involved. This got my Spidey senses tingling from the beginning, and slowly ratcheted up the fear factor as the plot and the characters were revealed.
I truly don't understand the reviews that talk about this being unrealistic. If it were a story about normal people in normal circumstances, it would be EastEnders. This, on the other hand, is genuinely scary. It's almost unthinkable that this could happen, but only almost, which is what makes it so tense and scary. Perhaps you have to be parent to really feel the current of fear that runs through this thriller/drama.

The subject matter starts off well. What would any of us do if we discovered that our child wasn't our child.
The frustration and confusion at the start makes sense and you do get a fairly accurate take on what 4 regular people would do in this scenario.
Then however, they made Pete become a complete man child without zero intellectual though, making basic mistake after basic mistake and being far too trusting for any normal human being. Then of course he forgets that he was a journalist and shows next to zero of these skills, showing zero attempt to do any basic research. With 99% of his mistakes just not being something any normal human being would make.
Peter aside, Miles was far too two dimensional a villain, being laughable at times, with Pete and Maddie not reacting like any normal person would. No police down South?
Overally the show starts with promise but soon turns into a badly written villain series, with Pete repeatedly making mistakes that makes no logical sense, and the finale was well, lackluster to say the least.
Doubt anyone will be watching this in a month's time.

It's not an easy series to watch; on the contrary, it's quite intense and also frustrating.
I must admit that after watching the first episode, I decided to take a break; it's not my type of series. But it stuck in my head, It's addictive and very psychologycal.
And of course I love British series, and this one is in beautiful Cornwall, nice photography by the way. :)
In addition, the series addresses issues of role division, self-development, 'nature and nurture', social institutions and the changing social view of these matters.
The castig is also quite good.
I did miss a lot more emotion and excitement in some of the characters, and the ending seemed really weak and .. I would have chose something less cheesy overal.
Ideal for viewers with a strong sense of justice (although it is hard to watch) and a preference for grounded British drama. Interesting topic.

This is a great story. Lots of times I found myself wondering what I'd do in their situation and it was worth the binge watch. Lots of moral questions asked throughout.
Well acted- I found all the main characters to be believable and they were well cast. Even the kids did well!
The scenery of Cornwall played a part here too, it was visually interesting too and gave a dramatic edge to it.
At various points there are twists and turns and obviously lots at the end. This is certainly one of the best UK TV dramas I've seen for a while (not big like Netflix etc) and makes a nice change from police dramas.
Give it a watch.
