It is better to trust the eyes rather than the ears.
You can’t please everyone.
A sly rabbit will have three openings to its den.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Really great show. Solid episodes, strong characters, thrilling twists and most importantly very realistic. Many people could relate to the realistic, flawed characters.
All programs have better ratings nowadays since millions of people are home in a lockdown with not much to do as watch TV…I think is unfair to compare this drama with dramas played in normal times.
the world of married couple is the best drama ever I’ve seen….the cast is so good in acting…they got my feeling…super duper good all in all
