Aw it's so bad honestly!
The writing is poor, the storyline is 'so what' and Suranne Jones has completely disappointed with taking the role of boring Becca!
Eve Best is amazing though ....She is the whole of the 5 stars for me. I'm gutted that Suranne and Eve have wasted 3 hours on this as they are both class actresses.. I wanted meaty, juicy scenes, powerhouse northern grit ... but it never happens.
Eve has a better accent than suranne who is the real northerner ... very strange as Roseline, is the one who escapes the north to the south and boring becca, remained uneducated and home but yet speaks posh ?!?
So this is an example of the constant irritants and the little details that just don't cut it.
There's no chemistry between Best and Jones which crates. The whole thing Frustratingly lacking depth and breath.
What a shame as the location is nice and lots of magical things could have come with a braver storyline.
5/10 Is fair ... more than fairrrrrr
It's a drag - watch it with a hangover on a Sunday- that's my recommendation cos you can nod off and wake back up and missed nothing interesting or important, like I said it's all 'so what!'
AND what a waste to have Rizzo, Dr O'Hara and Anne Lister together, on an Island, and produce this ?!?!?! Wow ladies come on... Suranne you had Rizzo! You had Rizzo!
