That's as far as I am. And finding it dull but watchable in a way. The photography is lovely. Reading here other people say it does pick up.I am on episode 5 - I am finding it really dull but I’ll keep going and hope it improves.
Sh@t, I didn't realise it was at Arthur's seat!Just when I thought that Arthur’s Seat would be a lovely place to visit, I then watched The Push - Murder on the cliff. That poor woman and her lovely family.
I think you're meant to feel for everyone involved. Yes, Dexter shows up at least, but he shows up in a way that makes it impossible for him to actually be present with his mother while she's still lucid. But he's going through a horrible time and isn't mature enough to handle it in a healthy way. The Dad is under the tremendous stress of caring for his terminal wife, while also seeing his son fall off a metaphorical cliff and he can't cope with everything, he just has to protect the one person he can actually protect, which is his wife since Dex isn't really listening to anyone at that point. And of course you have to feel for the mom cause she's dying and she knows that her son isn't grown yet, that her death will mess him up even more and she won't be there to help him out. I thought the show did a good job of giving you enough of everyone's perspective to understand that no one is a BAD person. They're flawed humans going through a horrible time, and not exactly coping.The episode where Dexter turns up at his parents' house hungover and the dad won't speak to him and screams at him- were we meant to feel sorry for him? I kind of feel he did all the right things considering how hungover he was and at least he turned up, but it was still pretty selfish. Not sure if they guessed there was a drugs element too
