Yes kill rose off in the next series shes a bloody wet blanket. I LOVE the mum though shes so chic.Okay, I bawled. I'm really emotional at the moment anyway so I knew it was going to happen
I think Hannah is better off on her own. Everyone's forgotten that Nathan met up with what, four women off that site? And that he went on there deliberately with the intention of looking for someone whereas Hannah and Christie just sort of happened.
That said, I think Christie is a complete shit too. The way he kept threatening to tell Nathan if Hannah didn't
I wasn't overly surprised with 'that kiss' either. The fact that they were thrown together so much in the series was obviously lining up for something to happen.
I don't think Rose and her husband add anything to the show, especially her husband. He just comes across as the most boring guy ever. SO boring in fact that I can't actually remember his name. Is he called James?
The Mum and Prof Ronnie are freaking me out because I just keep seeing the Grandad from 'Derry Girls'. Same with 'Duckface' from 4 weddings every time Richie Hanson's lawyer popped up
Speaking of Richie Hanson, SO glad he got his comeuppance. He was an absolute asshole.

I am 5 in….I don’t know how this is going to wrap.
Just looked up the actress who plays the matriarch - she’s 74. Looks good on it.

Love The Split and really enjoying season 3, just got episode 6 to watch, thoughts so far are, Kate is deliberately written to be unlikable, and Nina, is it normal to have 250k in savings??

I am two in. Nothing much happens in this series, but everything happens. It’s so watchable- I am at a loss to explain why!

I'm not binge watching it as its going to be my Monday night highlight for a few weeks. 
I’m a controversial viewer because I love Christie - didn’t get why she loves Nathan so much other than that I can see they had a family together. I love the series and the drama but tbh, i think Hannah ended up making a shit choice. She and Christie slept together night before her wedding, she was considering running away with him but her mum could tell and so intervened, she spends 20 years probably wondering if she’ll see him again, he comes back into her life and is still gorgeous! And basically Christie is hopelessly in love with her and always has been. There’s an episode in series 1 where his ex wife comes into it as a barrister for the husband of someone they’re representing and she tells Hannah that basically they split not because he didn’t want children, but because he wanted them with Hannah and basically couldn’t move on from her. He finds out she possibly aborted his child and yet when her and Nathan split he’s still stood there willing to be second best - and basically says that . And he didn’t go to Chicago when she asked and missed a big opportunity in series one.
She 100% should have chosen Christie!

It's a thing with divorces nowadays apparently. The spouses share the marital home, so that there is less upheaval for the kids. I know, just bizarre. Especially her getting the shopping delivered. THE CHEEK OF IT.

I watched the first episode of the new series last night
As other have said I love all the clothes/fashion and I want Hannah's house!
Omg I was not emotionally prepared for the ending 
I was an absolute mess.
I watched it on my own while my husband was out on a work night out and I was immediately texting him being like you ok, make sure you get home safe, don't drink too much so you can get yourself home ok etc

Completely agree that it’s both ridiculous and addictive. It’s got plenty of those cringey bits of dialogue or acting you often see in bbc dramas but certainly has something strangely compelling too. I found that after watching the first series almost by accident - and then almost forgetting about it - and the same thing with first two episodes of s2 last night.Anyone else watch this show? Kind of ridiculous but also kind of addictive. Love Nicola Walker she’s super! The dude that plays Christie is waaaaay hot too
series two started the other night and the entire series is already on iPlayer! I know what I’m binge watching tonight.
There is some substance to it, I suppose, that keeps me coming back as opposed to similar shows. I like how the storyline with the controlling husband is playing out - Hannah posing as a friend and giving her advice on the sly. He’s a terrible actor though- most of the cringey bits are with him now
(Two episodes in)

I love the house too! Here's the info on where it is!I watched the first episode of the new series last night

FilmFixer director Karen Everett revealed that Hannah lives in a home on Macaulay Road in Lambeth and her family home where she grew up is filmed at a home located in Sydenham Hill, Lewisham.

So they're just trying to recreate it up north? none of the same characters and not even written by the same person. That's a weak link isn't it?I wish it had been about one of the Defoe’s branching out to Manchester
BBC commissions The Split Up, a spin-off from Abi Morgan’s hit series The Split
Enter the world of Manchester’s divorce law circuit, where one family of lawyers, the Kishans, reigns supremewww.bbc.com

Actually Nathan cheated first!On episode 3. Wish my toddler would nap longer, I only get to watch one ep at a time
It's so good.
Kate is thoroughly awful isn't she. That restaurant conversation in Ep 1
Despite knowing that she was the one who cheated, I find myself rooting for Hannah every time. Nicola Walker is sublime isn't she? The little quirks of her face, the looks, the smirk when she saw Christie again and he invited her back to his room, I found totally believable, that she was experiencing that giddy rush you get when flirting with someone you fancy. I have already surmised that she won't get her happy ending with him though. Also feel sorry for Zander, but again the relationship between Tyler and Nina is spot on in terms of mannerisms and I find it really enthralling. Ian McElhinney is underused, I want more Prof Ron
I agree about Nicola..a very good actress and I enjoy all her mannerisms and little quirks! I find it hard to take Stephen Mangan serious as I can't forget him as Guy Secretan in the superb Green Wing!

I found the house and it was last sold in 2008 for £3.5million. Estimated sale price now of £7.5millionHow much do we reckon Hannah and Nathan's house is worth? It's bloody huge and gorgeous

We might..the writer has mentioned a spin off.I know it’s corny but I wanted a flash forward to a few years or so later. I am invested in these characters and sad we won’t see them again.

It’s the pen for me! Think I might have to buy myself a nice shiny pen rather than using a chewed biroI love how they show her fiddling with things in her hands and her phone etc, her acting is so good. In fact they all areI’m halfway through already, it better have a happy ending
I don’t fancy Christie at all though
