Anyone watch the first episode? It will be the last that we watch!
Compared to the Scandinavian thrillers/detective films that we have become used to this is a really lightweight programme.
So many of the British offerings have gone down the Midsomer Murders route - fanciful and surreal - and Lewis has been heading that way too. Mayday even had a Midsomer Murders type village green.
None of the characters were remotely believable; and the obligatory "bonk on the sofa" added nothing at all to the tale.
Hackneyed ploys of making children's toys, rocking horse, bits of dolls look sinister have all been done before ad nauseam - and done better by the likes of Hitchcock. What a disappointment that was - it had been built up as being really good.
DH and I really enjoyed the end, murderer is now being pursued by "ghost" of girl he murdered, the dog is eating the remains of his unpleasant master,great stuff! Complete nonsense, but we loved it!
shysal two hours of your life that you'll never get back. I hate that feeling! I watched the first half hour and then - because there wasn't a single character that I felt any sympathy for or could identify with - I bailed. Thank goodness I did.
We recorded all of Mayday before starting to watch it. Thank goodness for recorders, what a load of garbage, BBC are really scraping the barrel. I know now why I rarely watch TV.
I stuck with it to the end - but what was the end of the story, or am I being thick? Was the right person going to be convicted? Did Seth die? I HATE endings like that! What a waste of my viewing time.
I am hooked but they are a deeply wierd and unpleasant bunch. Can't understand a lot of what they say, I have the volume turned up to catch some of it.I am just curious about who did what to who.DH thinks it was the boy, the only vaguely sympathetic character there.
The trailer quite put me off this...all the characters looked deeply unpleasant, all so deeply dreary. Give me the so called gloomy Scandinavian stuff anyday! Mind you, OH loves Spiral whilst I can't see a single redeeming character in it so don't watch it either.
I was going to watch it but being a bit of a wimp, it scared me- don't like weird men!Think I'm going to watch Broadchurch instead as it's on at the same time and I know Dorset better than Dorking
I thought it was awful - just silly. Every scene was drenched in "menace" with music to go with it. Yuk. Will try Broadchurch tonight It has got Olivia from Rev in it and she is always good.
