River?

[netibiza]

So did he go mad or did he straightened out?

[-SharonA-]

Did you not watch it??

[netibiza]

Yes that's why I am asking. All that singing and dancing is not normal.

[Mamyalynne]

Neti, it's not as simple as that , a very complex and involved storyline - one of the best things on TV recently.

[netibiza]

Yes I thought it might be. I like things all wrapped up and tidy. Will there be another series do you think? I hope so.

[whirlyhurly]

Oh my, how depressing, yet I did enjoy it. Yet I wondered why her family didn't call her Jackie, surely "Stevie" was just her name for her workmates ?

[Mamyalynne]

I didn't find it at all depressing , not sure if there will be any more.

[whirlyhurly]

Oh really ? a bundle of laughs to some then.

[Mamyalynne]

Laughs, no - an in depth exploration of human emotions and the tangled web of families, yes.


A look inside the the mind of those troubled by mental health issues , gripping.

[ummmm]

I didn't find it depressing either.

[Mamyalynne]

In fact at the end I felt for River the joy as he discovered he had been truly loved, that must give hope for the future.

[ummmm]

And then the baby...awww.

[Lie-in King]

Nor did I find it depressing - after the anguish & pain suffered previously, the joy of the last 10 minutes or so was expressed beautifully by the actors, from a wonderful script.

Moving, magnificent television.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes - him cradling the baby was very symbolic , beautiful.

[hellywelly4]

I didn't think I would like it at first, but gave it another go and was hooked. It was a very complex finish, though. If I understood it right, it was desperately sad. I liked the way River's partner looked out for him and helped him.

[ummmm]

Yes, Helly, that was very touching. He treated his talking to dead people like it was completely normal.
