The Feud viewers rage 'this is torture!' as they sink claws into 'absolutely ridiculous and farcical' finale - vowing 'never to watch another Channel 5 drama again'
The Feud viewers raged 'this is torture!' and sank their claws into the 'absolutely ridiculous and farcical' finale after weeks of anticipation.
As the last episode of aired on Wednesday, some watchers even vowed to 'never watch another Channel 5 drama again'.
The gritty neighbourhood drama featured a talented cast including soap star Jill Halfpenny as Emma Barnett and Gavin & Stacey's Larry Lamb as Terry.
Downtown Abbey's Amy Nuttall starred as Sonia, while Tessa Peake-Jones, from the hit show Only Fools And Horses, played Barbara.
Despite the impressive line-up, the end of the six-part series failed to impress some viewers.
Many took to social media to express their disappointment and posted on X: 'And the Bafta award for worst drama goes to... drum roll... THE FEUD.'

Some criticised the fast timeline of events after Sonia and Alan's house went up for sale and how fast John seemed to be released from police custody.
They penned: 'This storyline is absolutely ridiculous. The timeline is farcical.'
'#thefeud never watched anything so ridiculous in my life before too much to list, but one question can planning permission be reversed so easily?'
'So much potential with all that talent. Turned into a right shower of ****! Timeline all over the place, plot holes, rushed ending, stupid plot twist and unexplained son turning up randomly for for no reason. #Thefeud.'
While another claimed they would never watch another drama by the broadcaster and said: 'This is torture. I am never watching another Channel 5 drama. #thefeud.'
'#thefeud And I thought the previous mini-series before this was bad.'
'#TheFeud Started off very promising, went on for too long & then left a number of questions unanswered… not forgetting that several bits of the storyline were, well, quite frankly, ridiculous. Such a pity as the cast were great.'
Despite the impressive line-up, the end of the six-part series failed to impress some viewers who took to social media to share their thoughts
'Watching #TheFeud on @Channel5_tv - what a bizarre series. I can't quite work out if it's actually a comedy or not. The acting, script, storyline and incidental music is so ridiculous that it just can't be a serious thriller, surely...'
However, some were more positive and one wrote: '#TheFeud was brilliant. Jill Halfpenny = great actress, and her character was completely unlikeable.
'But the music throughout the series = so distracting! Made what could’ve been an excellent thriller into a caper.'
But earlier in the series, fans were overjoyed when an Only Fools And Horses legend Tessa made an epic return to TV in the Channel 5 drama.
Tessa plays Barbara, a nosy neighbour who voices her views against Emma's extension plans and is also dealing with her son going missing.
While a second added: 'Knew I recognised her - Raquel is back!'
Tessa starred in Only Fools And Horses as Raquel Turner, who dated Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter, portrayed by David Jason.
Other stars include Spooks star Rupert Penry-Jones as Jon Barnett, Coronation Street's Chris Gascoyne as Peter Barlow and Black Mirror's Alex Macqueen as Nick.

Speaking of her role, Tessa told Radio Times: 'We all put on a public face when we meet people and have to behave, and then behind closed doors there's the private face which could be anything.
'For Barbara, it's more emphasised, because what she's dealing with behind their closed doors is so much more extreme.'
According to the Express, when one viewer spotted the actress, they wrote: 'It's Raquel from only fools and horses! Haven't seen her in years!'
The Feud is available to stream on Channel5.com
