It's not that it's badly written, more that it's old hat - partner finds other person has been having a affair, gets angry, shouts a lot and their life implodes. Some of the scenes are filmed nicely, and some of the dialogue is worked well(ish). Depending upon what you find 'funny' or entertaining' will dictate if you will like this. If you are a fan of American Chat Shows and the whole 'hilarity' out of the basics, then this is for you - not too taxing and the so called twists are very easy to spot from the start - brick in face approach. But if you like your entertainment a little less insulting on your intelligence (and ears caused by over dramatised acting styles) then give this a miss, it's not for you. As an aside I've read some reviews that seem to attack Cordon, not sure why, he is average in this so not sure what is causing some of the comments.

I don't think people should rate the show poorly just because they have mixed feelings about one of its actors. When I read an article talking about how this show provided a beautiful commentary about how monogamy can be at once essential and suffocating and it's allusions to Moby Dick and literature, I was surprised to see how low its ratings on IMDB were. I guess people don't like the male lead because of his offensive sense of humor??? That has nothing to do with this show. The writing is superb. The actors really create a spellbinding story. I watched this over the course of two nights because I could not look away. Amandine is tragic and mesmerizing. The pain of loving someone you can't trust is all too real for so many people, and this show delves into the magic of love and its horrors, drawing parallels between the sea and the unknown nature of another person. I LOVED IT. I am still trying to figure out the ending.... :\ but overall, I remain enraptured with this story. It has made me think more deeply about my former romantic relationships and how wonderful it feels when for a brief moment, you both believe in the impossible, that you and another person could love each other fully and forever.

It is amazing and continuous in its ever evolving, entertaining, surprising and ultimately profoundly victorious story telling. Everyone and every thing excels. No missteps. The Writing, Directing, Acting . . . Everything . . . The pacing is perfect. The DEPTH. And it is a comedy. So subtle it's almost like whispering. It makes no sense and yet it comprehends and explains all the aspects of all the things. This review will make no sense as well before you see the work. Then once you have experienced it, this review will make all the sense that's needed. Just like the work. Breathtaking in its risk taking. Breathtaking in its success.

I'm not going to waste time bashing James Corden. Suffice to say I watched this despite him and because I love Sally Hawkins. Sally is predictably good in this but rather wasted. This show tries to masquerade as something new but it's a story of infidelity that's been told a thousand times. And *spoiler alert* the tired trope of the best friend betraying said friend by sleeping with his wife..I saw this "twist" coming a mile off. The show bills itself as a comedy..but personally I don't find themes of infidelity, betrayal & suicide a hoot. I think the only time I smiled was at the random Tom Jones cameo. This is a show that thinks it's cleverer & funnier & more incisive than it actually is. It has the depth of a souffle.

I rarely post reviews on imdb. But having watched this with the preconception that I currently dislike James Corden and then seeing the average score.....I felt I had to. I don't know if people are just on a hate campaign right now with Corden? Believe me I think he's been getting too big for his own boots......but the score for this os a joke. Watch it....watch it without going into it already hating the Star of the show.......and he is the star of the show. As much as I want to throw scorn on James Corden and the fact he's let hos SNL show and his US glory go to his head....with all things considered....he is really good in this. If there is one thing I take from this drama...it has to be...James come home.....ditch the US...ditch the chat shows.....get back to what you obviously do best...acting.

...obviously so did some other people making a futile attempt to review the series. It's quite interesting, and even ironic when observing how so many of us miss the point, getting caught up in the dissolution that things must be as they are presented in form, genera, concepts and even trivial things as our subjective opinion about the actors. I was very surprised by all the negative reviews, so I decided to give a shot at balancing it out with a more objective approach. I'm still in the process of wrapping my head around the dreamlike storytelling and symbolical nature of the series, but I believe we're dealing with a profound and deeply important problem that is rooted within our collective consciousness and culture. I really love the way they address this in an almost mythological manner, and delighted by all the hints that this is something far beyond a trivial comedy surprised . On the contrary, it's touching something way way deeper than we would like to admit, and I think this is intentionally made to make us feel uncomfortable. It's really brilliant when you start to get the the idea, and the biggest clue for me, was when, and in the context Amandine mentioned Albert Camus, and of course the whale and Moby-Dick references. PS: my native language is Norwegian, and I apologize for any misspelling and bad formulations.

First let me say, there were hundreds of trolls on here rating this series BEFORE the series even premiered. They hate James Corden, so you can negate most negative views to that. Watched all six episodes last night. Was hooked from the very first episode. Let me say, that Colin Morgan was outstanding! The man is a tremendous actor. I look forward to seeing him in many more things. And it certainly doesn't hurt that he's eye candy as well! The series has many twists and turns, and always keeps you guessing. The acting was great from every single member of the cast as well. I highly recommend this show. Don't let the James Corden haters dissuade you from watching it.

This is well-trod subject material, but the show is quirky enough to make it seem original. The character development isn't spoon fed to the viewer. It gives us a view and asks us to dig deeper. The acting was terrific. I don't understand the criticism regarding James Corden. He gave an accurate portrayal of the spurned husband, and Colin Morgan is always an understated treat whose brilliant micro-expressions flawlessly develop interest and depth. Sally Hawkins' "Lue" was this bizarre, otherworldly character which was done to perfection, and Melia Kreiling was both charming and dastardly in turns as "Amandine". This is one of those stories which sticks with you for awhile and I actually watched the last episode twice just to take it in again.

Soulless, I don't even know what was attempted to tell with this story, just a bunch of the same non surprising stories with a mediocre lead. Corden delivers some of the worst acting, it makes you feel bad for his costars that try to get some emotions in some of the scenes and he just gives nothing. Some comedians (Gervais, CK, Waller-bridge) have done wonders with dark comedy dramas, but this is not one of them, even though there were some enjoyable moments and jokes delivered by secondary characters but they are quickly forgotten as soon as Corden comes into screen and delivers nothing but air.

This show grabbed my interest within the 1st five minutes. I can only surmise that the people giving a low rating are doing so because they don't like James Corden, for some reason. I am a huge fan of his & he knocked it out of the park. He is a brilliant comedic and dramatic actor. This show is heartbreaking , interesting & quirky. I watched without any expectations & was extremely pleased with the entire series. Every character's life, in the show, is messy & complicated. All of the performances were excellent. Ignore the bad reviews, this one is definitely worth a watch. I love any show that truly surprises me & this one certainly did!
