Well that was really odd.

Jo is suffering from nightmares, and a bizarre woman keeps on popping up.

The first word that I can think of to describe this drama, is weird. Everything about this second episode was weird, the plot and story were almost surreal. It was becoming hard to learn what was reality, and what was a dream sequence, they overdid the latter somewhat.

The most bizarre moment, without a doubt, the encounter between Jo and the youth, why did nobody come to her assistance? The whole sequence was super strange.

I am keen to learn more about Rose, it was bizarre to see her march into Jo's house, and behave in such a pushy manner, it was almost as if she was designing a past for Jo, a very definite eyeball between Rose and Rob.

It's a drama series you have to be in the mood for, it's very atmospheric, but pacing is an issue here.

6/10.

Episode 2

Things are thawing slower than a Scandinavian winter in the second episode.

The most excitement is Jo coming up against a mugger as she visits a support group for those with head injuries.

She is still trying to put pieces of her memory together. Husband Rob is still acting shady, he has had money troubles and asked Jo for a loan.

The biggest bombshell was that their son Finn abandoned university and revealed to the family that he is gay.

Despite a few new characters popping up, a nightmare about Jo's dog. It was all just too slow and moody.

I still think all roads lead to Rob but it is going to be a slog.
