Marcella

Nankate have you read "The Naked Ape" by Desmond Morris? He has some interesting theories about lips (and lipstick) - and about the wearing of stiletto heels!

I quite enjoyed it, other than some of the poly bag and fly scenes.

However I am wondering why anyone thinks filling their lips with silicon or whatever filler they use, has any purpose other than to make the face look deformed.

I did read somewhere that enhancement of the lips is meant to copy the appearance of another part of the female anatomy

I think plastic surgery ( lips) had a lot to do with it.Even so, it didn't grab me at all ( loved The Bridge though.)

I'm afraid I'm with Ana - couldn't have put it any better.

I found it all over the place. Very confusing. Might give it another go.

I am so surprised it was written by he same people who wrote The Bridge! I was sitting there thinking it was never going to measure up to the Skandi ones!

I really enjoyed it although I have to say I have never been an Anna Friel fan and I have seen her in a few things and she always gets naked at some point - why ?

I decided after much dithering to not watch it, on the grounds that the trailer looked gloomy. Gloom is something I am trying to avoid as it pulls me down these days. From the above comments I'm glad I didn't watch it.

It didn't grip me at all - can't see why it's called Marcella, surely it's about more than just her? I couldn't engage with any of the characters, was distracted by that top lip and won't be watching it again.

I was looking forward to this but fell asleep , will i play in this afternoon , give it a second chance .

Couldn't engage with it - found it a bit boring tbh

I watched it too, and wondered if Marcella was meant to be a second Saga (Bridge). Not sure about the programme - perhaps there are just too many similar ones at the moment

Was written not unwritten.

Dratted auto correct.

lucky we watched it too because it unwritten by the person who wrote The Bridge (brilliant Skandi police series). However Saga (the main character in The Bridge) she is not. Marcella I mean.
