Millions are addicted to Dr Foster's venomous revenge. The finale of Doctor Foster comes not a nerve- shredding moment too soon. How much more of this torrid BBC1 psychodrama can viewers take?

Over the past four weeks we have looked on in horror — sometimes from behind the sofa cushions — as Dr Gemma Foster (Suranne Jones) and ex- husband Simon (Bertie Carvel) dance a fandango of hate amid the bombed- out ballroom of their rancid marriage. Last week’s episode ended on a cliffhanger, as she appeared to deliberately accelerate her car towards him as he walked along the road. At the last moment she wrenched the steering wheel. But here is Gemma’s dilemma: does she drive into Simon, or veer away from him? In this scene from the Dr Foster finale, all seems well for Gemma as she enjoys dinner with her son Tom and friends, but by looking at her face - something dreadful is about to go down.

All will be revealed tonight as we roar into the series finale with pedal to the metal, all cylinders firing, perhaps even smoke and flames pluming from Gemma’s flared nostrils. If not hers, then certainly mine. Just take this scene from the closing episode, pictured here. All seems well, Gemma is having dinner with friends. Troubled teenage son Tom (Tom Taylor) is by her side, sober and not attacking anyone.

Just when you think matters couldn’t get any worse in this dark- hearted, post- divorce drama, you can depend on Dr Foster to do something foolhardy and ruinous to ratchet up the tension. Gemma! Put down that mega- goblet of sauv blanc and think this one through for once. Should you really be spying on your son from the bushes, making an inappropriate visit to his best friend’s bedroom, gate- crashing your ex- husband’s wedding party or snogging strangers in the local disco? No, OF course not.

While she may be a doctor, Gemma’s general practice seems to be to cause as much small- town mayhem as possible, under the misguided entitlement of being a wronged wife. Even if her smug, craven, ghastly husband deserves all he gets. You know he does. Watch Her Only Child Mediafire. While she may be a doctor, Gemma’s general practice seems to be to cause as much small- town mayhem as possible‘How old is that top?’ Simon sneers at Gemma when they meet up after a long time. The amazing thing is that she didn’t plunge one of her fully- primed, homemade acid injections into his thigh there and then. As the five- part series lurches towards a denouement, the poisonous antics of Slimy Simon and the Witchy Doctor have gripped millions.

Why so? Divorced and divorcing couples are not new to TV. From Blake and Alexis in Dynasty, to Angie and Den in East. Enders and Don and Betty Draper in Mad Men, their florid love lives and epic deceits can fascinate.

Yet Dr Foster brings a harrowing dimension, featuring a couple who are (almost) equally unlikeable, who stop at nothing to get one over on each other. Gemma and Simon are morally ambiguous and borderline villainous. They haven’t been able to divorce and move on like sensible adults.

They remain locked together, bubbling away in a tormented broth of mutual loathing. Their relationship has become so toxic, one feels corroded just watching them. In fact, after some of the more highly charged episodes, a shot of anti- venom serum wouldn’t go amiss. Dr Foster brings a harrowing dimension, featuring a couple who are (almost) equally unlikeable, who stop at nothing to get one over on each other. Perhaps it is so affecting because we can see the wretchedness ossifying the hearts of a couple who have lost sight of what they once loved about each other.

Divorce has unhinged them; revenge consumes them. Gemma is the wounded wife intent on vengeance, while Simon is motivated by his all- consuming obsession for her — which makes one wonder why the fool had an affair in the first place. Don’t ask. All you need to know is that in the Parminster home where they were once happy, they scream at each other over the kitchen island, marooned in a sea of hate. Their entire world is now the crack in the teacup, the smash in the glass, the complete erosion of family life. Each is assured of their rightful place on the moral high ground, but their righteousness blinds them to the plight of Tom. He is the innocent pawn, weaponised and unintentionally abused by both of his highly- strung parents.

Gemma and Simon are so wrapped up in their ongoing hostilities that neither appears to have noticed he is paler, quieter and more troubled by the week. In last week’s penultimate episode, Gemma succeeded in ruining Simon’s new life and second marriage. Tonight, we will find out at what cost. The most unlikely twist: a mistress with integrity.

As soon as mistress Kate (Jodie Comer, pictured) appeared in season one, we loathed her. As soon as mistress Kate (Jodie Comer, pictured) appeared in season one, we loathed her. After all, whether she’s playing this role in fiction or real life, the mistress is, by definition, always the guilty party. Yet, in a departure from the traditional panto villainess role, Kate has emerged as the only leading character with a shred of integrity or dignity, writes behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings. Indeed, last week, when she walked away from the wretched and chaotic mess created by her husband and his ex, it was tempting to congratulate her quietly for being the only person in this debacle to act with real decorum — and in the interests of someone other than herself. Yes, she inflicted significant damage on Gemma and Simon’s relationship, but her crime becomes almost nothing compared with the pain and mayhem visited on the casualties of the ugly war that ensued.

When Kate replaced Gemma in Simon’s life, he had told her his wife couldn’t make him happy and didn’t understand him. Yes, that old chestnut. Like many women, Kate persuaded herself: ‘Well, I can and I do.’But, as is often the case in a real- life love affair, Kate is only getting one side of the story. Finally she sees she is duped, and she slips away. When Kate replaced Gemma in Simon’s life, he had told her his wife couldn’t make him happy and didn’t understand him. But eventually slipped away as she herself being duped.

In the real world, not many second wives have the financial means to do as Kate did — to walk away and rescue her two- year- old daughter from the prospect of being used as a pawn in a disintegrating relationship, like Tom was. It wasn’t just her father’s wealth that enabled her to extricate herself from this madness so decisively. Many women in Kate’s position would cling to the wreckage of the relationship, unable to bear the thought of being seen to have lost in any way. She overcame that natural response. And it’s perhaps in that respect that Kate Foster comes out of all this appearing to be the strongest, and most plausible, character of all. PSYCHOTIC! A top psychologist's verdict on the most toxic couple on TVby Dr David Holmes.

When it comes to conflict, human nature dictates that we must identify the ‘goodie’ and the ‘baddie’ as quickly as possible —then we know exactly who to root for. By aligning ourselves with the virtuous, it keeps things simple and clear cut. But with Dr Foster, that’s a luxury the scriptwriter cleverly denies us. In Dr Foster, scriptwriters cleverly deny the viewer a clear idea of who is the ‘goodie’ and who is the ‘baddie'Thanks to some serious sideways thinking over plot lines, they have managed to keep viewers in an almost permanent state of confusion.

At first Gemma, as the injured party, seemed fully deserving of our sympathies. In real life, we all know someone whose marriage has crumbled due to an affair — anger, jealousy and hurt are all natural responses that make their mistakes, fuelled by pain, easier to forgive.
