Good at first but then got annoying

Warning: Spoilers
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!
