Vicky McClure is a big pull for viewers

ITV thriller Trigger Point divided viewers with its latest episode.

The third episode of Vicky McClure’s bomb squad drama aired on Sunday night (February 6).

The action-packed hour had some viewers on the edge of their seats, but it left others reaching for the remote.

Some viewers have been left so baffled by the plot that they’re on the cusp of tuning out.

In fact, if it wasn’t for TV star Vicky McClure, many fans say they would have given up on Trigger Point already.

So half of us are still only watching this for Vicky McClure right #triggerpoint,” said a second fan.

“Christ, I’m only watching this as I happened to see Vicky McClure filming a scene in Gunnersbury Park months ago and I’m waiting to see it. Dull as dishwater…#TriggerPoint,” added another.
