ITV viewers have slammed Vanishing Act as the "worst drama" they'd seen in ages as it aired on Monday night.
The new three-part series, based on a true story, has come under fire for "bad acting" - forcing many to switch off.
It follows the story of multi-millionaire Melissa Caddick mysteriously vanished from her £5.1million clifftop mansion in Sydney, Australia, just 24 hours after cops raided the property on suspicion of fraud in November 2020.
But there were complaints a few moments in as viewers were left "disappointed" by the opening episode.
One viewer said: "Am going to have to turn off #VanishingAct. The lead actor is unbearable to watch. I know she’s playing a b***** but really…"
Someone else said: "Very disappointed in this new drama. Will it brighten up / get better/ get worse?"

Another moaned: "Omg worse drama I've seen on itv in ages."
Someone added: "Nah, I'm off."
The 49=year-old businesswoman made headlines all over the world after her mysterious disappearance.
It was revealed she had siphoned over £16million from more than 50 people to fund a five-star lifestyle that included Aspen ski holidays, private chefs, Louis Vuitton watches and Christian Dior clothes.
But the mystery only deepened when four months later, a lone ASICS trainer, with the remains of a foot inside, was found by campers 400 kilometers south of her home.
DNA tests confirmed the human remains that had washed ashore were Caddick's.
A documentary called The Real Vanishing Act: The Missing Millionairess, on ITVX, will re-tell the extraordinary story of the woman dubbed the 'con artist of the century' through the eyes of investigators, close friends and her loyal husband, Anthony.
