Laura's perfect life begins to spiral out of control when she befriends mum at The School Emily. Laura hides a dark secret, and Emily is keen for it to come out, regardless of who gets hurt in the process.
Ok, so it's not a perfect show, but it's very watchable, and in terms of The Channel Five drama scale, I'd put it somewhere in the middle. Well produced, better than some of the boring dramas on recently, and easy to follow, it's got a fairly straightforward plot, you won't be scratching your head trying to piece together intricate threads, it isn't like that.
This needed to be edited down to three episodes, over four it was stretched out a little too thinly, episode three lacked a little bit of content.
I really enjoyed the first two episodes, I do feel that it flagged a bit after that, at times you so question is wandering around with her eyes shut.
I thought that the acting was spot on, I adore Jo Joyner, and she did a cracking job, great to see her leading a series again, she is so good. Rachel Shenton was brilliant as Emily, perfect for the part, she kept reminding me of Cheryl Cole, but with acting talent.
Anne Mitchell and Jo Joyner are no strangers to eachother, they've played mother and daughter once before, namely on EastEnders.
6/10.
