This is the most disgusting show I've ever watched. And I don't mean it in a good way. When I finished the great, complex, enjoyable first season, which offered good, reasonable drama with, however, an upsetting ending that displeased me and discredited the overall quality, I couldn't even imagine how worse things would get on the second season. Seriously, the cringe these five episodes made me feel were so intense I had to look away from the screen more than once, and not just because it features the most despicable characters I've ever seen on TV and film, as they really turned my stomach.
Having reached the finale, it seems the plot really stopped being realistic since decades ago. Its histrionism it´s almost offensive and it shamelessly surpasses the very definition of melodrama with deceiving and ridiculous twists. At the end, yes, it does offer a thriller and keep you at the end of your seat waiting for what you think it has to be the last contrived decision from the script, but make no mistake, this is simply bad writing, sacrificing credibility and well layered characters for the sake of sensationalism (including the most dishonest use of the cliffhanger that I didn't expect to encounter in the so-called Golden Age of TV). At least I've learnt with Doctor Foster that one cannot measure the quality of a story by how thrilled or entertained you are by it, if in the end it´s simply bad.
Was really great and gripping, until the last 15 minutes. I felt like they could've ended it at any point before that, but they just kept going on and on even though there was no need to, leading to an ultimately dissapointing ending.
I'm not sure if this was done on purpose to milk a third season out of this series, but it's clear that this story doesn't really have any more chapters in it to tell, so there is no use in keeping it going just for the sake of it.
Struggled to keep up the excellent pacing and plot of Series 1. They should have ended on Episode 4, leaving the viewer to decide if Gemma ran over Simon. Episode 5 felt unnecessary and seemed to get more and more ridiculous with each passing moment.

Season 1 was a good, entertaining drama (gave it a 9), but Season 2 stretched credibility way too far, to the point of absurdity, even for this crazy couple; had to drop the score.
