Review of Penance

Penance (2020– )
6/10
Good cast, but......
23 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
For some reason I thought it was a film so was surprised at the end of part 1. My fault, nothing to do with the series. I binge watched all 3 episodes together in the end because I needed to see how it would all pan out. (My thought at one time was that both Rosie and Maddie would end up pregnant, but thankfully it didn't go down that route). The story started off well with lots of twists and turns. By the last episode I was shouting at the screen 'you stupid woman, just call the Police', especially when Rosie had found out about Jed's aliases. Jed abused Rosie and Maddie's vulnerability, that bit was believable, but the scene in the woods was madness, she put her life and that of her estranged husband at serious risk. It wasn't explained either how one minute Jed was in the house with Maddie shouting at her, throwing her in a chair and generally being evil but we then see her back at the hospital with Grandma Fay, so how did she escape him? Good acting but daft ending, I thought.
