The Split

The first series was a very well depicted portrayal of someone being deceitful within a relationship. The second series thankfully illuminates the damage that does to everyone involved. Very powerful and intense. Definitely worth a watch.

A tour de force by Walker, with an outstanding supporting cast. The show becomes more and more of a soap opera as it goes on, but every once in a while there is a scene where she just blows you away.

Lots to like about this drama. I loved the directing and screenplay, and most of the acting is excellent. In particular the lead actors were uniformly good. But a special mention of Elizabeth Roberts who played Liv and somehow managed to copy the body language of Hannah her mother.

So why not higher than 7? Quite a bit, really. I found the intensity of the lawyers' personal lives increasingly annoying. The twists and turns of Hannah and Nathan's marriage were especially gruesome. Will she run off with Christie or won't she. Eventually I could hardly care.

But it was worth persisting.

Love everything about The Split! What a surprise I had no idea I would be watching something that I absolutely enjoyed beginning to end.. i coud go on and on about it but to me its a window into a family living life.. an imperfect family thats very real . I feel as if i know them...

It's human, real, with no frills. Doesn't sweeten the pill and hits the nail on the head without turning into a soap. It's about everyday real life and (family) relationships. I'm also partial towards Nicola Walker whom I've watched in pretty much everything she's done - she's just great. Rest of the cast really good too. Would recommend.
