NO Return viewers have called out a “frustrating and far-fetched” blunder in the second instalment.
The ITV drama follows the Powell family and their holiday in Turkey as son Noah is suddenly arrested and jailed on a sex assault charge.
Viewers were quick to point out that mum Kathy (Sheridan Smith) and dad Martin (Michael Jibson) did not once call the British Embassy for help.
Their dream trip took a shocking turn when teenager Noah accepted a seemingly innocent invitation to a beach party and then found himself in jail on a sex assault charge.
Kathy and Martin’s world spectacularly falls apart when they are left desperately fighting for their son’s freedom against extremely challenging circumstances.
The family turned to legal representative Rico Karvalci played by Philp Arditti for advice – but fans are sceptical of the lawyer and believe he may have an ulterior motive.
Viewers were baffled that the family hadn’t asked for help from the British Embassy, with one writing: “#noreturn wouldn’t one of the first things that they should do be call the British Embassy?”
Another posted: “Seriously. As if. Even I wouldn’t go with a creepy lying lawyer to bribe the Turkish police in Turkey. Frustrated they’ve still not got the British Embassy involved.”
“NoReturn is causing me so much anxiety, for many reasons, not least the fact that this family have not bothered to contact the British Embassy,” a third commented.
A fourth shared: “I am still surprised that the British Embassy still hasn’t been involved or had it?”
Someone else added: “Why aren’t they using the British Embassy instead of some slippery narcissistic lawyer?”
Meanwhile, fans think they’ve already solved the case after spotting a major clue.
The family are not alone on the trip, with Kathy’s posh sister Megan and her husband Steve (David Mumeni) joining them with their own young son.
Viewers were quick to point the finger at Megan’s other half, who delivered the news that they wanted to head back home to England.
The bombshell came after Steve was spotted using a dating app to meet men.
Having pieced together the clues, one fan said: “I think Milo was sexually assaulted but it’s been lost in translation and it was the uncle as opposed Noah. I thought it showed the uncle on a meet up app, a copy of Grindr”
Another agreed, writing: “I dont think Noah did it. I think it’s the uncle who assaulted that lad”
Another mused: “I’m already hooked. After that first episode, I think Milo was sexually assaulted, but it’s been lost in the Turkish to English translation, and it was the uncle as opposed to Noah.”
And one more said: “His uncle is one strange guy he’s up to something I’m sure of it”
Tonight, Kathy’s family were suddently faced with looming media coverage and resistance from fellow holidaymakers to come to their aid.
Viewers are loving Sheridan’s latest TV appearance, with one writing: “Sheridan Smith seems to be doing a TV drama relay with herself.”
Another said: “Another drama with the brilliant Sheridan Smith @ITV @channel5_tv are really spoiling us.”
It’s only February and she has already starred in three major shows, which includes tonight’s new drama, The Teacher last week, and Four Lives the week before.
