Love Rat (2024– )
8/10
Thoroughly entertaining drama, in spite of the bad reviews.
16 March 2024
After splitting with her husband Pete, Emma Walters heads for a holiday to Cyprus, where she meets a tall, dark handsome stranger, a man she quickly gets close with. He promises a life of luxury and wealth, but all is not as it seems.

I will defend for this four part drama, and stick up for it, for the very good reason, that it's one of the drama highlights of 2024, and certainly one of a channel Five's better drama offerings. I thoroughly enjoyed it, not often these days do I binge watch a show.

Full of twists and turns, expect the unexpected, it's loaded with suspense, and keeps you guessing until the very end.

You only have to glance at a Woman's magazine, and you'll see stories of people meeting and falling in love with gorgeous strangers abroad, I'm not always sure about the so called sincerity. It does happen, of course this is taken to extremes, but it is simply entertainment.

Sally Lindsay is fantastic, she plays the part, so well, very convincing. Gerald Kyd is perfect as the handsome con man, credit also to Neil Morrissey and Ramon Tikaram.

I feel like scoring it a 10, simply to balance out the nonsensical 1 star reviews, but as always, I've given an honest critique.

I didn't want it to end.

8/10.
