The Nest

[chessington]

Loving this series, last one tonight, anyone else enjoying it?

[iluvmargie]

Yes me, didn't know it was on tonight though, so thanks for that.

[naomi24]

Me too.

[ladybirder]

Yes, very much. So pleased we haven't got to wait until next Sunday.

[Vagus]

We’ve just watched last nights episode on catchup ready to watch the last episode tonight.
I really couldn’t second guess what the eventual outcome will be, anyone got any theories??

[Rosie29]

I'm gripped by it and after last night's fending I'm thinking about how it is going to be resolved. The acting is so good - particularly Kaya . And that house overlooking the water - wow !

[naomi24]

I was quite disappointed with the ending. I was expecting a twist. Very bland I thought.

[Ken4155]

And they all lived happily ever after :-/

[Patsy33]

Yes, very good. Kept us watching.

[Ken4155]

Naomi, there was a bit of a twist revealed by the flashback to the actual murder taking place.

[naomi24]

Exactly Ken. Had I written it, I'd have had the wife and the girl - who had become close - bump the husband off and bring the baby up together.

[naomi24]

Yes, there was a revelation there, Ken - but still a disappointingly bland outcome.

[Spicerack]

Sort of lost interest in it.

[Ken4155]

The only 2 characters I didn't dislike were Kaya and her female probation officer. As for the others; hubby had built his fortune on the back of money laundering for the drugs gang, wifey was all 'me, me, me', the male probation officer was a crim and Kaya's mother was a scheming, bitter old so and so and not just a bit crazy - looked as if she had gone even crazier than she was when she played the besotted teaching assistant in series 2 of Happy Valley.

[ladybirder]

Yeah but yeah but the house was stunning;-)

[Tilly2]

They gave the house up at the end, didn't they?

[Vagus]

I don’t think so Tilly, wasn’t the last scene, six months later, with them and the baby, in the house?
I agree, it kind of tapered off and could have had a more exciting ending.

[Tilly2]

I don't think so, Vagus. There was a shot of the front of a different house just before the family scene and there was a back garden with washing on the line.

[Vagus]

Oh yes, you’re right Tilly, I forgot about the washing line :)

[Ken4155]

Looked more like a typical council house. It was inferred that they were about to lose everything.

[Rosie29]

I think it was the best possible ending that it could have been in the circumstances. It said a lot about class and the difficulties of social mobility and exploitation. The characters had "changed" learnt something in the process.
I guess it did seem a bit Happy Ever After but it wasn't trite or simplistic.
I thought it was a cut above some of today's dramas.
