I liked this in spite of myself. The story was incredulous, which would normally ruin such a series, but it's done in such a way that you just kind of go with the flow and enjoy it. All the actors give such stellar performances, you can almost forgive the story being weak. Shame some characters just fizzled out and it wasn't really clear what they added.
I am also slightly biased as Glasgow is now my home, and it is very often wet and grey, yet in this series I think it rained twice and the drone shots of the city landscape were brilliant. It was nice to see it looking dazzling! Also the house the couple lived in by the loch was stunning and it was worth watching just to appreciate that view!

It is the way Scots speak. If you were to hear "small girl" or "little girl" ten times in a movie, would you think that a parody.

Top notch drama, . Nice to see such a quality production filmed in and around Glasgow with the creme de la creme of Scottish acting talent in David Hayman and Martin Compston. Many critics say Compston does a good Glasgow accent, after only being familiar with his performances in Line Of Duty. Well he would have "a good Glasgow accent " as he was brought up in Greenock, not far from Glasgow,
The young girl playing the troubled teen is an excellent actress and must surely have a successful acting career ahead of her. I am sure we will see a lot more of her in years to come.
Thisis an enthralling drama that really does get you thinking about each character and are they what they seem.
Entertaining, but the fact that most of the characters have such special circumstances makes it less believable and makes me lose focus on the main story and creates the need for several prequels that would surely be more interesting to me:
Even more could be added, since the secondary characters are also endowed with history: Dan's sister and nephew, Kaya's mother (excellent character for excellent actress, perhaps the best of the series) and Kaya's social worker ...
In summary, the surrogacy theme and the power play that this can bring is well developed, but the only thing in the series that I consider pure gold is when it shows us how you could let yourself go through life if you let others decide for you.
- EMILY, prequel title: The princess. A typical person with a vocation for the center of the world. Once something happened to her and, consequently, life owes her the fact that everything is as she wishes. I hated the character for being a 'posturing person' and the actress left me cold.
- DAN, prequel title: The criminal. I can understand what he did in his past, but boy, ending up in the brick sector, I am not going to comment much more ... The evolution and logic of the character seems quite credible and I liked the actor.
- KAYA, prequel title: Opportunity and improvement: poor kid, bad life from the beginning, with a mother more than despicable. A survivor. Logical evolution of a strong character. Convincing work of the actress.
Even more could be added, since the secondary characters are also endowed with history: Dan's sister and nephew, Kaya's mother (excellent character for excellent actress, perhaps the best of the series) and Kaya's social worker ...
In summary, the surrogacy theme and the power play that this can bring is well developed, but the only thing in the series that I consider pure gold is when it shows us how you could let yourself go through life if you let others decide for you.
Had it been a Hollywood film, Kaya would be a psychotic murderer and the plot would have been violent. Instead, there was the power of love and the hope of redemption. The soundtrack should not be ignored. It was lovely and haunting.
