The Holiday

[Prudie]

Missed the first 15 minutes of this drama last night and will give part 2 a go tonight but does anything in the 15 minutes I missed explain why they would all go on holiday together when it seems most either dislike or mistrust everybody else. (I gather they were all students together once??).

i'm the eternal optimist, i'm hoping something actually interesting happens in episode 2

[aelmpvw]

i don't remember anything of significance happening in the first fifteen minutes

Yes, they were all at university together and decided that they should all go on a holiday together. That's what you do, don't you? Well, at least, that's what the author of the book (on which this drama is based) decided was a good starting-point for this "exciting slice of escapism" (as the Radio Times calls it).

I couldn't think of anything worse than sharing a villa with a load of others.

[KUSTARD]

I thought it was abysmal and won't be watching any more of it!!!!!

I watched the 1st episode, tempted

[anneasquith]

a few times to stop. Kept with it. Will watch episode 2 . It takes a full episode to get to know who everyone is.

I watched two episodes. Not ground-breaking stuff but entertaining enough and I am curious to know what's going on so I'll watch the rest.

[gingejbee]

I'm finding it quite watchable...although it depends way too much on interacting with/messaging on smartphones.

I watched the first fifteen minutes and nothing happened. That's all I watched so if anything has happened since then I wouldn't know. It gave me the impression that nothing of any significance was going to happen for all four episodes. I had recently painted some skirting board so I went to watch that dry instead.

[Prudie]

Quite a lot happened in the last episode and ludicrous outcome is an understatement. Lots of red herrings and loose ends. Malta looks nice though.....

[naomi24]

If you understood what was going on in the final episode, Prudie, you did better than me. In the end I couldn’t wait for it to end!

[Netty7]

Well that was four wasted hours. Think it’s the worst drama I’ve seen in a long time. It was so disjointed all the way through. I stuck with it to the end just in case it redeemed itself, but no, the end was as disappointing as the rest.

i bet Martin Platt didn't watch.
