ITV viewers have shared their dismay after watching the latest episode of After The Flood. Fans of the broadcaster threatened to "switch off" as the fourth instalment of the drama left them scratching their heads in confusion.
On Wednesday night, After The Flood once again took up the prominent 9pm slot on ITV1 and ITVX. Entitled In Too Deep, the recently aired episode saw PC Joanna Marshall (played by Sophie Rundle) diving deeper into her potential murder investigation.
Jo began to make a breakthrough in the case while suspicion began to build around Tasha Eden (Anita Adam Gabay). Elsewhere, Molly Marshall (Lorraine Ashbourne) found herself in a spot of bother as the crime drama’s plot thickened.
However, some viewers were less than impressed with the crime drama and took to social media to have their say. One user of X, formerly Twitter, took to the platform and wrote: “Completely lost with the plot of this and the catch-up didn't help.” A second typed: “So it’s 4 episodes in and I’m still thinking I might give up on this as the plot is not realistic, and hasn’t gripped me at all.”
A third commented: “#aftertheflood. Trying to like it...but oh dear...” Another said: “This #Aftertheflood is so flat & depressing! #Itv1 so trash turning over channel.
ITV’s latest mystery drama first debuted on January 10 and drew criticism almost instantly from viewers.
At the time, one After The Flood watcher commented on the show’s “wooden acting” while another slammed it for its “sewage”-like storyline.
Meanwhile, others took to social media to praise the mini-series, which also stars Nick Gleaves, Philip Glenister, and Jacqueline Boatswain alongside 35-year-old Sophie.
One X fan said: "I love Sophie Rundle, so if she’s in it, I’m watching #AfterTheFlood.”
Before the show launched last month, the former Peaky Blinders star said that viewers would be “both gripped and moved” by the story that BAFTA-nominated writer and actor Mick Ford has created.

She told Radio Times last year: “It found itself as we were making it and I feel like it's been something British TV can be really proud of.
“And it only became that because people loved it because people stuck with it and rooted for it and gave it life.”
After The Flood is on ITV1 and ITVX on Wednesday nights at 9pm.
