Looked this up on imdb - which proved quite difficult, because as well as the two different titles above it was also known as With Intent! www.imdb.com/title/tt14521436/

Interesting start, but there doesn't seem to be much mystery left as the situation was explained at the end of the episode to us, even if the wife doesn't know yet. The best thing she can do is take up with the gardener! - or maybe he'll put a spanner in the works by seducing the nanny.

I stuck with it because there was nothing else on and I have been suffering from drama deprivation but what a thoroughly unlikable set of characters they all were with the possible exceptions of the taxi driver and the small children! The whole thing was pretty unpleasant.

I thought it wasn't bad, at least I quite looked forward to each nightly episode.
It wasn't difficult to predict largely what would happen in the finale, not least because of the little bits of flash-forward we got at the start of episodes. It was all about mind games really - the husband gaslighting his wife, and she doing the same to the nanny - which isn't quite what I expected. I found the women a bit more believable than the men, with the husband coming over as a shallow stereotype (and an unlikely successful lawyer, since we never saw him doing any actual work!).

I’ve just finished it and quite enjoyed it. I was expecting to see the police at the end of the drive at the very end though. Good old Janine, gets away with it again, 😂😂. He was hideous and I also noted he never seemed to do a bit of work.

I enjoyed it, too. 🙂 Not too demanding, and nice settings - I liked the overhead shots where she went running, and I had house envy, lol. 😄

Yes indeed. What about the beach house which needed a refurb! It was as big as their main house and gorgeous!
