“This is Windermere, the world’s smallest town,” he says. He passed her house one day saw her with her brother on another. Scott, one of Roz’s clients, seems too smooth to be real, with all the signifiers of a Successful Businessman – nice car, flash suit – although he doesn’t seem to spend much time at work, since he is always at her practice or popping up in the background wherever she is, like a silvery executive Where’s Wally. Alexa is a panto villain who calls Lisa “working mummy” with an unnecessary contempt that doesn’t ring true. Then there are the soapy supporting characters. “We both know how damaging a divorce is for children,” says Kate, obviously conveying significant backstory, but jarring nonetheless. At the awful dinner, she and Alexa had an argument after gossiping about the marriage of a woman they know. “You know, the one-eyed monster from Greek mythology,” she says to Lisa, explaining Sam’s bullying insult, as if you only know what a cyclops is when you know your Homer. Some of the dialogue is excruciating, with Kate suffering the worst of it. Because she’s so chaotic, presumably because she has children and a job – “I’m juggling too much, Joe,” she told her husband – she forgot Lulu was supposed to be coming for a sleepover, although it was unlikely that her own teenage daughter would have forgotten, too. Of course, Kate found them – “the most hideous thong, really tarty” – but thought, or pretends to think, they belong to her 14-year-old daughter, Lulu.Īt the end, Lulu had disappeared – a lot happened in one episode – and it was apparently Lisa’s fault. Was Lisa really so disorganised that she forgot to put her knickers back on after that surprise bathroom incident? And would she – panicking after a hilariously naff flashback – drive back the next day to try to retrieve them? She must have guessed that Kate wouldn’t tolerate dirty pants on the floor, no matter how many bathrooms she has.

I don’t think bailiffs are allowed to enter an empty house, however much a plot requires them to – Roz returned home to find they had taken her fridge. On the surface, Deep Water is entertainingly watchable, but lurking not too far beneath is the feeling that it is all so implausible. Perhaps it was a small mercy that they were about to be evicted, because what could be worse than living with someone who likes to play the sax? Still, Roz was understandably furious. He got one day of work but, instead of being paid in cash, he took a saxophone. Her partner, Winston, was out of work and a bit useless, too – although it was later revealed he has a gambling addiction. Roz (Sinead Keenan), meanwhile, a physiotherapist, was struggling with debt. Adam followed her to the bathroom and they had the kind of sex that always makes me worry about the integrity of the wash basin. So seduced with Kate’s Farrow & Ball-ed lakeside house, and her rich relations – the other guests were sister Alexa and her husband, Adam, a cosmetic surgeon – it didn’t take much to throw her scruffy life overboard. Lisa (Anna Friel), who runs a kennels, was endearingly pleased when Kate (Rosalind Eleazar) suggested coffee, even more so when Kate flattered her after discussing the bullying by her son: “I told Guy: ‘Lisa will understand, she’s one of us.’” When Kate invited Lisa and her taxi-driver husband to dinner – or rather, that most middle-class “ kitchen supper” – Lisa could barely contain her gratitude. As if to underline her apparent ease through life, she had perfectly laundered Sam’s clothes from the near-disaster on the boat.

The third woman, Kate – Fergus’s mum – appeared looking perfect, with her son in full Roman emperor costume. Book bags were lost, ingredients for cookery class went missing, historical dress-up day was forgotten and wasn’t it only just “World bloody Book Day,” complains Lisa. Next, we were on our way to school where working mums Roz and Lisa were chaotic and stressed. Anyway, Fergus’s dad Guy dived in to save him (“my Baywatch moment”) and all was well again for the family.

Sam might be a bit of a bully – he was mean to his friend Fergus, who wears an eye patch – but it was unclear whether Fergus pushed Sam in. It opened with a boy, Sam, falling overboard on a boat trip with his friend’s family.
