The Accident
Voted the most disappointing drama in 2019 by UK viewers.,Polly's accent comes and goes.,I find it strange that words like 'parody' and 'cliched' can be used to describe this human drama when endless predictable detective thrillers, girls captive in a cellar dramas etc seem to get such rave reviews here. I thought the unfolding relationships were compelling, the acting (in the main) good and the plot was making a good attempt to get under the skin of the emotional destructiveness of this kind of tragedy. Yes there were cliched moments - the confrontation between the owner of the building and Sarah Lancashire's character for example - but I certainly think it's worth watching further episodes. Nowhere near as good as the excellent 'Virtues' by the same writer - but nowhere near as bad as some reviewers are suggesting.,
