just watched this two parter, my thought were well it was silly psycho husband and wife kidnap other couples kids to fill the gap left by there own kids who were dead etc etc. the couple then chase after there own kids not bothering to let the police do it err yea right.all the chaos could have been avoided if they did, but no they dont thus begins the chase.
shareThey couldn't, as they killed Toby, and left the scene of the accident, also the sister Sarah, and her French husband didn't believe them, why opn earth should the police?
shareyeah, some of the descisions were weird, butif you agree to the 'suspension of disbelief', then it's really very good
but that's just me.
yeah okay, they have the fact the police won't believe them, but it made me think why would the police think they had faked the kids kidnapping?
but then i thought... the police might think they killed their own kids...
so i can understand why they went after the kids themselves, rather than letting the police do it all.
what sig??
SPOILER!
I thought it was stupid how David rang Nicolas instead of the police! Which got Nicolas killed!
Omg..This is why it's a DRAMA .. Would you think it would've been more exciting if the police did all the work?
shareOMG, this is supposed to be drama, si why did nobody tell the writer and director to pull their socks up and make an effort! Why should I put up with really poor plots?
An early post said about how we could go along with the suspense, but there is no suspense if I know what is going to happen next!
I knew, just as everbody else, that the girl was going to fall over when chased and the boy was going to get caught because he didn;t even bother to hide or run away. OMG, these are proffesional writers who should know better.
(By the way, I don't think OMG is a very good argument, but, hey, if you think it is persuasive, then I'll try it too!)
To engage in a drama and its plot you need to be able to believe the characters and believe the plot. Of course we can suspend disbelief, but only up to a point and only so many times.
If it is early on in the story, then we let it go - it can be part of the premise. But if we are expected to believe these character and share their fears and emotions, we cannot be expected to go along with all their silly decisions. If the writers need us to believe the police would not believe them, then at least make up a plausible excuse. If that was the one and only problem, then I'd let it go.

Grow up.

Well i thought it was quite good please don't bite my head off for tui, i just thought it was much better than the crap they usually throw onto out screens, and for those saying how its unbelievable it could happen (hopefully not) but it could
shareWell I have been watching for 2 weeks now. I stumbled on it quite accidently. I find it quite good and I was very disappointed that I have to wait another whole week to see the end( unless it's more) I am watching it on Showcase in Canada and they are showing it in 1 hour slots.
