Review of Smother

Smother (2021–2023)
6/10
Too many characters
9 June 2021
After the end of 2 episodes I'm a bit confused as to who is who.

There are some characters whose relevance to the story isn't clear. Who is the woman with the long grey hair? Why do the two boys call the dead man granddad as he clearly isn't a blood relative?

How is a clearly mentally disturbed woman allowed to drive a car let alone she run a café?

Clichés? Of course there are some, not easy to write drama without them these days. At least they haven't ticked the usual boxes, no gay couple (Yet) not really and people of colour, other than Cathy Cregan, who is a bit diluted (Again, yet)

Maybe I'll understand more about who is who in episode three.
