Ohmigod, I would not have believed two days ago that David Tennant could be such a ham! As I mentioned before, I sat down to watch ‘Secret Smile’ on Monday and Tuesday, and there went three hours of my life I will never get back. Predictable and, in fact, utterly shite! Why oh why, when two women are killed each week by ex partners can television not produce a true to life tale of domestic violence (except for the brilliant ‘Trip Trap’ a whole 9 years ago). This was here also coupled with a ‘psycho stalker’ style twist, but it also failed on this by making this part of the plot OTT also. It also twisted manic depression in to a weird subplot. It is funny how so many programmes now seem to carry the message ‘bad things will happen to women who sleep with people and enjoy it but don’t want to shack up with them forever’… Reinforced by Trinny and Susanna tonight when they told a woman ‘you won’t get a man who wants to hang around if you are dressed like a slut‘. Even David was terrible, although I struggled on to the end… |
