The Split Review

This episode of The Split was very good. The series is very bleak and depressing. It is clear that Hannah wants to be with Christie and he obviously wants her. However, it doesn’t seem that Hannah is willing to throw it all away for him. Rose managed to smooth things over with James. Will that last. Will Rex and Nina become a legitimate couple? The episode scores an 8 out of 10. Sorry for any errors above. Had to rush in the recap after work! Catch up with previous recaps of The Split now!
