Doctor Foster

Doctor Foster is a front-row seat to the breakdown of a marriage after the husband’s affair, and I was completely hooked for all five hours. With Suranne Jones, who was a total revelation to me, the Brits crafted a perfect portrayal of a woman’s emotional unraveling when she finds out her husband is cheating. I was on the edge of my seat week after week, something that hasn’t happened to me in a long time. The rainy British backdrop, the sea, the moody atmosphere—it all just worked for me. Dr. Foster herself is such a compelling character, and you can't help but root for her. And that finale? An emotional gut punch in real-time. I’m curious (and a bit wary) about what they’ll do in the second season—it feels like the story could’ve ended here, but we’ll see! (08/02/2021)

I’m probably not the only one who thinks the second season was totally unnecessary. The Brits should've stopped after the first—wrapped it up as a mini-series and called it a day. The breakdown of a marriage was far more compelling than the psychological chaos the writers cooked up in season two. That said, the show still had some serious talent behind it because, even though season two dives deep into the realm of psychological madness, I found myself eagerly waiting for each episode to see what new twist would unfold in Dr. Foster’s world. And honestly, episode after episode, I couldn’t believe what was happening. While the first season felt grounded and real, the second is more of a ridiculous narrative mess—but hey, at least it's an entertaining one. (13/03/2021)
