This series was supremely watchable and struck a really entertaining balance between funny (genuinely laugh out loud funny at times, too) and ultra dark. The writing was great, and the viewer is taken on a truly wild ride through dramatics of all sorts. We're not quite sure who to believe, or what's actually going on.
There's a big reveal episode about Jen's character arc that's really good, it answers all the questions about her and I found it to be very satisfying. I quite liked how the plot then shifted again, back to the main points really, about infidelity, the cat, the son, the marriages/partnerships.
The only part of Am I Being Unreasonable that I felt didn't quite fit was, sadly, the ending. It felt a bit like a "gotcha!" ending that wasn't totally thought-through. I agree with another reviewer that said that the Alex character's arc and many previous, real-life moments don't fit with the final ending. This wild ending could've worked, but it left more questions than answers. Why did the two people on the train not report her to the police, she should've been tried for murder? Why did Alex hate his brother, there should've been more around this.
Overall an excellent watch, I couldn't stop watching it really. I loved the injected bits of humour. It's not a particularly believable programme but I don't think it's trying to be.
