[QUOTE="Sarah, post: 49824, member: 6"] Did anyone else watch this? What started out as a brilliant series had a really really poor ending. In fact Twitter was set alight last night with people talking about it. [URL]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-39277649[/URL] The finale of BBC drama The Replacement was a bit like the Marmite of TV - you either loved it or hated it. An average of 5.8 million viewers watched the conclusion of the psychological thriller, which revealed who killed Kay and the truth about Paula, played by Vicky McClure. But critics and viewers alike were split over whether the ending was satisfactory. Although some thought it was a masterpiece, others felt it left more questions than answers. And [URL='https://inews.co.uk/essentials/culture/television/the-replacement-episode-3-review/'][U]iNews[/U][/URL] complained the conclusion "faltered at the last hurdle", saying: "It's just a shame that the eventual pay-off proved so underwhelmingly conventional." On Twitter, fans were also split: [LIST] [*]#The Replacement ending was like an English exam when you're running out of time and have to bullet point the conclusion. - [URL='https://twitter.com/NatalieMooree/status/841777341558861824'][U]Natalie Moore[/U][/URL] [*]#TheReplacement started as a brilliant portrayal of the insecurity of maternity leave and ended with me throwing my slipper at the telly. - [URL='https://twitter.com/maria_mcgeoghan/status/841789281219813380'][U]Maria McGeoghan[/U][/URL] [*]In the cold light of day, there's even more questions about #TheReplacement in my mind - what a shame!
