I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This program is engrossing, well written and well acted. It walks a fine line between being utterly disgusting and completely relatable, making me hate it and love it all at once. You definitely have to be patient to watch all the incendiary acrimony!

This is what it feels like to co-parent with a covert narcissist. In spite of all good intentions loose-loose is the only likely result to come out of your efforts

I'm not really sure why I started watching this but I love Jodie Comer so it was great to see another show of hers. I got into the story and it was really good at first but by the last couple episodes of season 1, Gemma was driving me insane. I just watched season 2 in one day and I'm not surprised with what happened. I understand that it is a drama but jeez, get a grip! I'm not sure if I'll continue watching if there is another season.

'Doctor Foster' is by far one of the most enjoyable BBC series I've seen in a while. Whilst it's inherently flawed, with the characters' actions and the plot being rather unrealistic and far-fetched at times, there's no denying that this is a gripping series with a lot to offer. What sets 'Doctor Foster' apart from a lot of other series is that the lead, Gemma Foster (like the majority of the main cast) is utterly detestable. She's mentally unstable, illogical, rash, vindictive, vengeful and completely incapable of showing even an ounce of restraint or forgiveness. For people that criticise the show because Gemma is impossible to sympathise with fail to recognise that she's not SUPPOSED to be sympathised with. She's a morally grey character, neither protagonist or antagonist, but somewhere in between. Although, the series tries to lead us to believe her husband is the villain, her actions soon put her on a level playing field with him which leaves viewers constantly pondering over who we're supposed to be rooting for and who is right, if anyone. What makes the character of Gemma so interesting (aside from the writing itself) is Surranne Jones' fantastic portrayal of her. She manages to convey so much through her expressions alone and makes Gemma feel like a very unique character with clear identifiers. Bertie Carvel as Simon is the perfect co-star and has great chemistry with Surranne, whilst portraying Simon as equally as flawed and complicated as Gemma. Though the dramatics are often over the top, the series delves into the human psyche in a very thrilling way. It's easy to condemn Gemma's actions but it leads us to question what we would do in the same situation. No one can ever predict what's going to happen in the future or how they'd react if a certain situation arose that they never expected to. There was a sense of inevitability and stability that Gemma felt in her life which she thrived on and when that was ripped away from her (through no fault of her own) it led to a break-down in her mental state. Following the process of that is a wild rollercoaster and the unpredictability of it is what makes it so enjoyable to watch. The show itself is a thriller that has elements of a crime drama with Gemma taking it upon herself to investigate her husband's activities and get answers. The style of the show is aesthetically pleasing, with great use of camera angles and lovely scenic shots, whilst the music sets the mood. Though I'm a huge fan of the series I'm still debating whether the decision to make a second season was a good one. Personally, I feel the first season ended in a satisfactory way that tied up all the loose ends whilst also remaining open to give viewers the freedom to imagine what might've happened next. Season 2 dragged up old issues but made them even more explosive, dark and dramatic. Whilst season 2 was equally as enjoyable as season 1 (in parts), it didn't really add much more to the story than what we were shown in season 2 and ended in a much more frustrating and silly way. Overall, 'Doctor Foster' is a great show that benefits from having a fantastic lead in Surranne Jones and an incredibly flawed, complex lead in Gemma Foster with enough dramatics and twists and turns to keep viewers gripped.
