Why the producers approved this script will baffle me until the end of time - unless the writer was one of the producers. Don't blame Nicola Walker or any of the cast for this mess, it was the story. The Split was nothing more than a prime time soap opera.
I agree with ray-smithwhite that "the will she/won't she saga of whether Hannah will leave her husband Nathan for Christie became tedious and boring". Rehashing the same old subject between Hannah and Christie really did become absurd: have a discussion, make a decision, stick with that decision, end of.
And Hannah, who is guilty in her own right, keeps giving guilty Nathan mixed signals. Unbelievable!
Besides Nina's drunken rant, the third thing that bothered me was the reappearance of Oscar wanting to sell the Defoes firm to get "his share".
When he actually says that to Ruth, why didn't she immediately say "I've given you money all these years, the firm is in bad financial shape, no more for you!"?
No, it is left to Nina (in another scene) to review the firm's financial records and confront Ruth. And if we received an explanation as to why Ruth kept supporting Oscar - while keeping her children from Oscar, it was inadequate at best.
If this is truly a mini-series, please let episode 6 be the end. The viewers can wonder what happened, just as we have been wondering from episode 1.
