The Cry

Missed the first two episodes of this but caught up on IPlayer. Can someone enlighten me as to why it is considered clever or even necessary to jump backwards and forwards in time during a drama? It irritates me to the point of thinking about switching off - but I shall have to watch the last episode next Sunday.....

Re: The Cry

Very confusing I agree but I prefer it to those scenes where they walk the camera round the person talking that drives me mad.

Re: The Cry

Because the story is adapted from the book (which incidentally is far better!).
The ghastly nightmare plane journey was in February, and the court case is in the present, in July, so the story unravels in this way as she recalls the events of that fateful journey and what happened subsequently....

Re: The Cry

I think the actor Ewan Leslie, who plays her husband (Alistair) is a really good actor as l really don’t like him at all. He is so controlling and manipulative that you really come to dislike him.

Wish l hadn’t looked up his name now as l saw a spoiler for episode 4. Grrr!
