Alice & Jack: Trailer

Domhall Gleeson is always so mesmerizing when he plays the romantic lead. I mean, did we not fall in love with him in About Time? Black Mirror's Be Right Back?

I do love Domhnall Gleeson, but this looks like that cringe series "Run" all over again. Please please Domhnall be in something good already. 🙏 This is like the 4th project where love equals to cheating on wife/husband and being miserable for a lifetime. 🙇‍♂️ One of the best actors on the planet, and he keeps appearing in the worst films. Actually, in most of his films he is miserable, for different reasons. Hope this is just a phase and he'll grow it out and he will be awesome in the future projects. 🙏

Vaya mierda

so she professes some forever love, then changes her mind, leaves him, and then vaguely promises to get back together at some point? she sounds like a flake.

and can we please stop using non-whites as props/sage wisdom counselors for boring white characters?

This seems like a film i saw in 2015

So his that his real accent ?

this looks great--on a side note if ever another film is made on a young Elizabeth I - Riseborough needs to be cast in lead !

Who dies?

nope

The entire “Boo-hoo-hoo! She doesn’t love me anymore!” concept has been overdone and is quite tiresome.

Zero desire to watch this.

You couldn’t pay me to watch a movie like this. Such depressing over dramatic garbage that has been recycled a thousand times.

I really love that they're using their own native accents in this. It's really nice to hear Andrea using that North East lilt. And here's to a reunion between Rodney and Chrissie from Never Let Me Go!

I always loved juho kuosmanen films, if this is gonna be in the same vein as those then that's good enough

I love Domhall Gleeson so so much!!

We've had a lot of straight romance films, however this doesn't look that bad at all. Looks pretty decent, I should say.

The thumbnail looks like the movie poster from Out Of Africa (1985)😌

So Normal People post-uni.

looks rubbish to be fair fellas

The writer wrote a fairly prosaic, if downbeat romantic journey. Segmented into fanciful short sections.
That seem to defy any sense of normal human relations, outside of the writers head.
The classic "will-they-or-won't-they" trope scenario... stretched out over fifteen years.
*We know this because their mobiles dramatically change shape over the course of their relationship.

But because the narrative was so stereotypical, the writer decided to twist the two protagonists genders over.
So the male is the lovey-dovey, forlorn and the ever longing one, ...and the female is the impossible to fathom,
distant, ridiculously complicated and aloof... male 'workaholic' stereotype.
For many, this may seem too jarring and unnatural. A ploy, rather than a real world possibility.

The regularly 'dumped one' luckily has a sidekick, who's every utterance encapsulates miraculous sage-like profundity.
He adds an unfortunate level of contrivance to the story. As if the writer needed to interject their own thoughts,
into the listeners earholes, as a constant commentary or story device.
Many other plot devices are also hit-or-miss... from 'father figures issues' to TV reports of sudden deaths.
It tries a little too hard, to be all neat and tidy ...with its unravelling story.

The actors do seem up for it though. Mr.Gleeson definitely has the quasi-feminine mystic firmly in his repertoire.
Ms.Riseborough's 'strange emotive energy' works for the inscrutable part she was given.
Although, the story rests... on if you can accept the role reversal, 
accept that a man would act so permissively for such an incredibly long period of time?

It all sort of works, until it doesn't. Till money magically solves all of the loose ends.
The writer forgetting that money is antithetical to Western ideals about love and to love stories in general.
Sudden wealth is not a substitute for unrequited love... or erratic, non-committal behaviour.
It is an American style ending ...that really isn't required or even welcome.

When she was in Oblivion she was so very beautiful!! I do not know why these actresses become so emaciated-looking over time! They all end up looking way too skinny: Robin Wright, Anya Taylor Joy, Michelle Williams just to name a few.

That actress is so unattractive it is distracting.

Does anyone know the name of the song in this trailer? Thanks

There was a time when he was in almost everything, I miss those days.

I would rather watch "Normal People" again, which this is so clearly trying to be.

Domhnall most attractive redhead actor😍

Watched half of it on CH4 last night , not good , dull as ditch water

Guys I watched the first episode, does it get better..? Cos it's the most uninteresting show I've seen in a while. Also, can't see why he is attracted to this selfish b*tch. At least if she was pretty. This is exactly what I feared it would be after watching the trailer.

Women will love all that lovey dovey bollocks

this would depress a crocodile truly awful

This wonderfully written series teaches us not to waste time when you find your soul mate.Its the most beautiful thing on romance I've ever watched and would recommend it to those wasting time in doubt ❤❤

It beats wuthering heights for a romantic love story.❤❤

I finished watching it yesterday and I loved it. Domhnall is such a versatile actor. He is definitely one of the best actors of his generation.

MARIANNE AND CONNELL FROM NORMAL PEOPLE GREW UP??????

This show sucks. The character of Alice is very unlikeable and I don't get why Jack wasted time with the crazy broad.

Did I watch the same program as most of you? I've only seen 2 episodes because I'm told it gets better, but it is a horrible show. Please people......don't waste your time. Actually, it's worse than horrible. This is a sick and twisted love story. I can't believe some are calling this a "love story". Yuck!!!!

I almost always enjoy all the shows presented on Masterpiece. But I found this one contemptible in every way. I hated the character of Alice, I was disappointed in the character of Jack. Really, I detested it so much that I can’t remove the foul taste in my mouth. The only thing worse, I suppose, is Trump.

I'm torn watching this series. The love between Alice and Jack is real, but her games have caused them more than it's worth. She runs away, comes back and runs away again every time. She is unstable and truly needs help, but only he can provide her the friendship she needs. In her indecisiveness, she ruins his marriage, his relationships, her engagement, and at times cause friction between his colleagues. Him falling under her spell truly clouded his judgement. A woman like this will ultimately cause ruin and sometimes, as evident, death. But the love is real. She reminds me of Jenny from Forest Gump. Was it worth it? I think not. A sad love story.

Way to slow for me, I’m going to hang in and see if each episode gets a bit better

Enjoyed their acting, but could not see or feel their chemistry, therefore had no sympathy toward their loss of each other. Boy loves crazy girl stories never end happily ever. Have not yet seen ending. (I wonder if they've read Gatsby.)

alice what a tyrant from hell!!!

I've given this mess three full episodes and have seen more emotion from people finding a place to park. Two people, each a wreck, no chemistry, no beauty, no reason to continue to watch.

I loved this. Binge watched it in one night.

Alice is very toxic. Jack should avoid her. She ruined his marriage, pushes him away, and when things start to get better in his life, she shows up again and destroys everything.
I watch it solely because of Gleeson, who can express a whole range of emotions. Although, I want to shake Jack to get him to give up on Alice.

I really enjoyed the show. People has different approach towards love. To have felt that with a unexpected someone could be overwhelming, especiall for someone who has abandoned issues thinking this person will leave once they know the true of yourself.

I’m a cultured man of the fine arts and I dub the show a masterpiece that any young beautiful black woman who’s not a read headed white fella would enjoy and love…

-Happy Crocodile 🐊

She lives in trauma. PTSD she needed therapy early. She was trying multiple therapist. But I'm not sure if she gave up or was still going through the process. Really is a testament on your core values set by your parents will affect every thing in your adult life

Why inflict such a sad story on yourself? 😢

Absolutely bullshit this series got such bad reviews. It absolutely broke me!

Why is he simping for her?
