throbber Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Not sure how I felt about that ending... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyblair Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 To me the ending was a bitter disappointment, leaves it open to a further potential series though. The very last scene was a bit dreadful with her standing at the door to her house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Needless twist at the end. Don't think another series would be very good.Enjoyed the final episode up until the final twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Did not enjoy that last episode. Really over-wrought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I think it was a good moral to the story and an unexpected twist (Simon killing himself would have been far too obvious) but Tom running away doesn't really work as there are only so many places a 16 year old can end up. I bet loads of 16/17 year olds do this in the UK then realise they can't afford to live or can't look after themselves and then return home, he didn't seem like the sort of teenager who was mature enough to look after himself anyway. Would have made more sense to the story if he had just jumped in front of a car but that wouldn't have left the door open for a third series. Pretty poor end to what was a very watchable and grabbing drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Fife Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Yes, very disappointing ending to a great series. Simon is a twat and would have been a fitting end if he jumped in front of a car. Young Tom is a bit of a sad sack but no wonder living in that kind of world. Not sure if there will be a 3rd season. Hard one to follow on from that ending. Jones is a cracking actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderdomb Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The last 60 seconds ruined the entire second season for me, end it on Gemma giving Simon the sentimental pictures and let our imagines run wild as to whether they played happy family again or if Kate returns.I suspect a third season although I probably won’t tune in for it. Why do BBC ruin every decent program? First Luther, now this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the time they spent focusing on Tom his character could have been crying out for help far more and he would have still been of lesser interest to Gemma and Simon for the viewer. Him throwing himself under a car could have been the perfect ending if they had done it a bit differently and there could still be a third series to come of it. Having him run away as a 16 year old with just the clothes on his back in modern day Britain just doesn't work, his parents would find him within a week easily.

Ziggy Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I started watching series 1 on Sunday am just starting the last one of the 2nd series. I'm hoping they just stab each other. Couple of fannies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Like others, I really enjoyed the second series up until the end which was just utter shite. Poor Tom's probably giving handjobs for £10 a go in a public toilets by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderdomb Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Anyone know if/when a third will be out? Assuming they might not be able to based on the ending although there defiantly could be a few spin offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonHMFC Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Binge watched the first series of this the other week, and thought it was brilliant on the whole. Found her friends to be complete shite bags, felt like everybody was in on it, and just didn't tell her. Ros was a particular annoyance throughout. Not watched the second series yet due to mixed reviews, but imagine I shall get through it at some stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
