Loved this as a totally different & original style of drama, witty, superbly acted, incorporating a particularly strong, realistic & well-aimed speech towards the end from one of the two female leads about the (im)balance of power between the genders.
Great production values and well-written, with one major flaw in the storyline which undermined the whole series for me from ep. 2 onwards, sadly - ie ((**spoiler alert**)) - if supposedly intelligent Alice had thought to get her phone out & take photos/videos of the evil scammer deliberately trying to drown the dog, then the entire subsequent events/episodes could have been avoided! Some explanation for Alice not doing so would have greatly strengthened the plot in my view - eg her phone could have been shown dropping out of her pocket as she got out of her car.
Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the ensuing ride anyway - great entertainment with a very serious real-life point - romance & other scams are an increasing menace out there.
