Episode 3

[Prismark10 · 5/10 · 23 January 2022]

It is noticeable how Anita Jenkins (Alison Steadman) the mother of Owen and Gareth is very much Lady Macbeth. She is adamant that the sharelisting goes without a hitch.

She wants all dirty linen hidden. Only her two adult sons are used to misbehaviour. Gareth's wife is shocked about her husband's online porn activities. She goes to see a divorce lawyer.

Owen's son is distributing online porn to other kids at school. Sam's son is caught and taken into the headmaster's office.

Maybe this has spurred Sam to find out just what did happen in the past.

Maya also has to deal with her past. The ex partner who gaslights her and even breaks into her home.

The victim's identity is revealed and unsurprisingly it is Maya. Hence why the ex partner had to show up again.

Not sure what Sam is doing at the police station. She should call a lawyer or walk out.

Obviously the workplace has secrets but that might not explain Maya's death.

A real let down.

Sam does a little digging of her own, Maya is forced to battle some demons from the past.

Right, I'm not normally someone that points out matters like this, but every single male character here is toxic, a cheat, an adulterer and a wife beater, even the young one is a creep. I wish they wouldn't do it, it's lazy writing.

The weakest episode of the series so far, not a great deal actually happens here, it is very drawn out, and quite slow.

We still don't know why San is being interviewed by The Police, hopefully all will be revealed in the final part.

This episode could quite literally have been skipped,

Poor, 4/10.
