Doctor Foster: A Woman Scorned (2015–2017)

Great Beginning but Silly Ending

[6/10 · 19 March 2017]

The story started off well, but it kind of ran out of steam with what to write for the last few episodes. The story was not realistic. This is a seemingly intelligent woman whose husband has an affair, a two year affair with their friend's daughter who ends up pregnant. She enlists the help of a patient to follow her husband and spy on him. This patient is being abused by her boyfriend. The doctor confronts and threatens the boyfriend, very strange thing to do. She promises she will prescribe sleeping pills to the patient is she does this for her. What sane person gets a patient to spy for her. Hire a private detective, he would of done a better job. She throughout the first few episodes finds out that her husband is a liar and is unable to tell her the truth about anything. Most women would of left after the first chance of trying to save their marriage, but she seems to expect that this deceitful man will change. He doesn't, and when she pressures him for the truth he still keeps denying everything and yet she knows he is lying again. Her son seems to be neglected and her obsession is with her husband. Then she wants to bring him down and destroy him. Why? She knows what he is like. Leave. Leave your so called friends who have the weirdest concept of love, especially her co-worker. Move to another city or town. You're a doctor, and from this show not a very good one at that. She did some really bizarre and weird things to get back at him. The guy forged her signature, was a lousy business man, spent all her money, had an affair for two years with your friend's daughter, got her pregnant and was told her was a terrible and useless businessman and yet she put all her energy into this guy. What a waste.
