Totally agree. The acting, script / dialogue is so wooden you could plant a forest. I'm born and bred Whitstable - A Shellback - so i only watch it to say to the G/F, 'I live there!, i've pissed down that alley! I got chucked out of that boozer!" etc, etc. The books were written by some unknown DFL who came down to our town and trotted out some benign 'cold porridge for the brain-loosley termed 'novels'. But fair play to her, she's made a tidy profiy from writing plot lines that are so predictable you could set your watch by them.. Single mum, hiding her past, and there's always a couple of ne'er do well kids, meets newly widowed cop, also doesn't like to talk about his past -cuz 'She [his wife] died'. Cut to hackneyed flash backs to them both deeply in love. It's been done a 1000 times before, and I'm surprised it got green-lit for TV. The demographic for this is shoreline - Bide-a-wee nursing home retirees, but I hope it gives some joy to them. Cast look disintersted and cold, but at least it shows off our shoreline and streets in a becoming way. no doubt 1000s more DFLs will make the way down to us on the back of this.
