Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Lack of good storyline.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Some good, some bad but absolutely no Joy to balance the deceit and despair

Why the producers approved this script will baffle me until the end of time - unless the writer was one of the producers. Don't blame Nicola Walker or any of the cast for this mess, it was the story. The Split was nothing more than a prime time soap opera.I agree with ray-smithwhite that "the will she/won't she saga of whether Hannah will leave her husband Nathan for Christie became tedious and boring". Rehashing the same old subject between Hannah and Christie really did become absurd: have a discussion, make a decision, stick with that decision, end of. And Hannah, who is guilty in her own right, keeps giving guilty Nathan mixed signals. Unbelievable!Besides Nina's drunken rant, the third thing that bothered me was the reappearance of Oscar wanting to sell the Defoes firm to get "his share". When he actually says that to Ruth, why didn't she immediately say "I've given you money all these years, the firm is in bad financial shape, no more for you!"?No, it is left to Nina (in another scene) to review the firm's financial records and confront Ruth. And if we received an explanation as to why Ruth kept supporting Oscar - while keeping her children from Oscar, it was inadequate at best.If this is truly a mini-series, please let episode 6 be the end. The viewers can wonder what happened, just as we have been wondering from episode 1.

I finished watching The Split tonight and found myself in turn laughing and crying and at all times absorbed. It has a cast of great characters and the plot is unpredictable, gripping and heartwarming. All the acting is superb, particularly that of Stephen Mangan, Nicola Walker and Barry Atsma. British dramas like this are much more natural and believable than equivalent US productions such as The Good Wife, which are poorly acted, wooden and, for me, unwatchable. For those of us out in the provinces this drama provides a glimpse of lives lived in what comes across as a beautiful capital city. Yes, there's glamour and gorgeousness that are out of reach for most of us - but the emotional and human concerns of he drama are to be found anywhere and everywhere. We can identify with the dliemmas and enjoy the fun and glitz too.

This is just dreadful. Trying too hard to be slick,glossy and stylish. Characters and their relationships are not believable let alone likeable. Some good actors can't improve the bad script and story.
