To be honest, I was rather disappointed with "Moving On". I watched only the episode in which Richard appeared, but it didn't encourage me to watch other episodes. In my opinion it looked more like Radio Drama than TV series. The episode was very short and all the story has to finish in 40 sth minutes. All the characters are sketchy. We know very little about the main protagonist. She's got an annoying and overwhelming mother and a wealthy friend. She's heavily in debt and is harassed by creditors. She seems to spend all her time in the house, so we know nothing about her work. She hasn't dated for ages, but nothing of her love history was revealed. The only thing of worth is her house she's forced to sell. And then a rescue appeared with the face of Richard. Unfortunately his characters is really never as enigamtic as I thought he would be. For me he's shady since the beginning. And there's a terrible music motiff which drowned out the dialogue, which again reminded me of a radio play. This TV show wouldn't lose much if it was done on the radio apart from handsome Richard's face. There's no suspense, no surprise, no intriguing and interesting characters. Just some financial and personal troubles of a bored female who should've known better.
After having seen this TV show I was really surprised that Richard decided to appear in it. It simply wasn't worth his time, very disappointing attempt at social TV drama.
