I'm not keen on Eleanor Tomlinson as an actress mainly because her extremely wide, simpering smile gets annoying - and it's often on display here. I knew I'd end up hating her character when she killed the pond fish.

This wife swapping scenario was always going to end in tears and, to be fair, Evie's descent into a kind of madness is well played. Sam Heughan is gorgeous as always but oh how I missed his sexy Scottish accent - there are people from Scotland who live in Yorkshire so surely he could have kept it!

Hugh Dennis is good as a creepy voyeur living across the street.

There are several plot strands running alongside the main sex plot - the big local villain and Danny's involvement, Evie's religious nut father and Danny's secret son - so it does get quite busy at times.

Alfred Enoch gets a bit over-dramatic in the final episode.

So, despite the fact that I didn't like any of the characters, especially Evie, I'd still say it's worth a look!

It would impossible to create a worse drama than this. Unbelievable/unlikeable characters; ridiculous plot; terrible conclusion; loose ends galore. It was melodramatic nonsense from start to finish. Why Kate Robbins and Hugh Dennis got involved is a mystery. Their story line was irrelevant and added nothing. There was even an over the top nosey neighbour. Slow motion 90s style sex scenes were ludicrous and absolutely none of it was believable. After 6 episodes the writer (give it up whoever you are) had no idea what to do so just had a shoot out as they couldn't think of what else to do. Please, please do not waste any time watching it as I did. There must be some paint drying that you could watch somewhere.

Liked it at first but the ending puzzles me

The first episodes were promising although the many sex scenes dragged on uneccesary long.

There will alwys be characters you dislike but Evie was a bit too much. Her relationship with Pete didn't convince me one bit.

I still enjoyed the series but it went more unrealistic twards the end. And the end, I really need somebody explaing the end!

Spoier alert!----------------

Who fired a rifle when they where in the cottage?

Did Pete shoot himself or did Evie manage that?

What happened to the guy follwing them with the rifle, did Evies dad kill him and why?

The end was really badly writen.

This series had so much potential but completely blew the ending. The problem was setting up Evie and Pete as the main characters/protagonists, and then destroying their story arch by making them villains in the end.

They hinted at Evie's descent into madness, but the last episode just makes her look calculated and evil, not sick. Shooting Pete after telling him she doesn't love him then crying about it was almost humorous.

I think a better ending would be if there was one last twist; Evie isn't pregnant. She suffers from that syndrome where you want a baby so badly she develops symptoms and the belief she is. Then Pete vows to help her back to sanity and both couples learn valuable lessons and try to repair their marriages.

Started off with potential... then just became nonsensical. Why would someone move diamonds around in a big van and why would they need a police motorcycle escort? Put them in a glove box of an inconspicuous car mate... and as if an off duty copper can just rock up and collect their police bikes and take them on a jolly... (I won't get into the CCTV located on a random tree on a forest back road!) And then there was the heist to regain the diamonds they lost, for heaven's sake, Dan couldn't have looked more suspicious if he waded in wearing a balaclava... and how easy and convenient was it to get a security van that matched the normal bank security van... it was all effortless. It had all the tension of a discarded thread of Cotton. Then there is Hugh Dennis's character Alan, who added nothing to the plot whatsoever, other than to give the director an opportunity to film him having a five knuckle shuffle in the neighbours bedroom... and omg, Hugh's attempt at playing a stroke victim was as hilarious as watching him on Mock the week, which he is far more suited for. He sounded more like a knackered android than someone with a slurred speech impediment. The bad guys henchmen comes on the scene in his old BMW which stands out like a sore thumb on the quiet suburban street, but the wyle old copper totally misses him across the street (that's probably realistic to be fair LOL)... but the stupidity just goes on and on... the end scene in the forest, people being shot everywhere, Evie's father goes to their lodge to sort out a domestic between his daughter and son in law and rocks up with a shotgun! Why!?!? But lucky he did because the henchman was there with a sniper rifle and then Evie takes the gun off Pete without him feeling it and shoots him point blank range, but he's all good... but then... the police arrive and all the characters are paraded around back in front of the lodge... so the scene is.... They all run deep into the woods, have a shoot out, the the law takes them back to the lodge... and Evie is stood watching Pete (who she just shot) be loaded into an ambulance, and the police woman casually comes to collect her... as she moves slowly back to the police car you can see Dad being marched off and Dan perched on a car with a gun wound to his leg... I mean what the hell... they would have taken them off site immediately. The story falls well short of what it might have achieved, it's a patch work of nonsense, trying to be suspenseful, but it's just laughable. The scenes are poorly devised, often without context, acting was pretty shocking and everything oh so conveniently fell in place.... I could go on about the child dan fathered with another woman, another pointless plot, but you probably get the gist that this simply is not good TV.

Apparently nobody in this show can have sex unless the curtains are open and the lights are on.

The local pervert walks in and out of neighbourhood homes with impunity before pleasuring himself (with the lights on and curtains open)

The sex scenes themselves are truly awful- if you're thinking of partner swapping - watch this it will make you embrace monogamy!

It might help if anyone in this show looked remotely sexy. Every time Eleanor Tomlinson tries to look vampish and alluring she comes across as undernourished and demented. The cop is freakishly buff despite smoking, drinking and never working out.

Avoid!!

I had a suspicion about this but agreed to watch it with my wife. Wow where do I start ? The couple next door live across the street. Apparently only 7 people live in the street as nobody ever comes out of their houses even when a motorbike is ridden around late at night. Where two police officers have so much time on their hands , they can steal two police bikes and work for a local crime boss ? The extremely sensitive warehouse owned by said crime boss is left unlocked and unattended. When aforementioned crime boss is exposed of millions of pound in fraud , a single police officer is sent to arrest him. The central female characters father shoots a complete stranger in the woods and then simply disappears until the end . The professional sharpshooter ( killed by the father ) decides it's better to stand and not lean against a tree when aiming for his target. I can't believe that money was provided to fund this utterly awful series.
