TERRIBLE ACTING BY Natascha McElhone AND David Morrissey


Natascha McElhone was just shockingly bad - especially in the scene where she's trying to get the bed-bound girl to help her find her daughter. All the fake crying without any realism to it and her fidgeting with the computer was almost laughable.

There were so many instances where her character fails - like when she learns her 15 yr old daughter spent the night at a hotel with a guy she did not know and it took her all of 30 seconds to get over it.

And that physical attraction between the pair was rather uncomfortable.

At least, she was a one-off. Sadly, David is the lead character so we're stuck with him.

I'm just gonna go ahead and completely disagree with you on all counts.
