The deceived

I watched two episodes and after 15 minutes of episode 3 I gave up on it. The previous two Irish series’ I watched with Adrian Dunbar were quite good but this is not for me.

Well, at least it perked up a bit tonight.

What a load of old tripe

A load of codswallop really.

Surprised Paul Mescal agreed to be in this, perhaps it was before Normal People.

Will there be another series?

Aargh!

Allegedly it's rubbish, or so my husband tells me, I generally nod off and he won't tell me what's happened because it's not worth wasting breath on that apparently! Hopefully I can piece together the "slept through" sections from this thread, so plenty of detail please

It’s enjoyable hokum?

Last episode this evening. Thank goodness. What a weird drama! Very annoying and unrealistic. I’ve kept watching hoping it would improve . Hoping tonight will reveal all. ?

We watched the first episode and were distinctly underwhelmed. Count us out,

It’s so unbelievable, but I am assuming the missing student is the real author of Michael’s book, and he has stolen it and passing it off as his own? And had to kill her?

Or not ?

That silly girlfriend of his should have left as soon as she arrived. Will Sean rescue her, or is he in on it all?

No idea about Roisin and the crazy mother.

Oh, thanks GrandmaKT

I thought that Calendargirl, but then realised it was Michael's hand that he'd placed over Hugh's

Did anyone just see Hugh’s hands moving when he was in his coffin?

Or was it my imagination?

?

It is absolute rubbish.
I am enjoying it immensely.

I agree!
Did I miss something or did Mary say "I'll make us a cup of tea" and Ophelia walked out of the back door, and cycled to the village pub? All very quirky but will continue watching.

Yes, but who, or what, is doing the knocking?

I thought she sorted the knocking, opened a window and it was a branch brushing against it?

Or did I miss something?

?‍♀️

I'm recording it, - not sure now whether to continue.
It sounds weird.

It’s bonkers! But it’s got Paul Mescal (Normal People) in it
Good review in the Independent - www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/reviews/the-deceived-review-paul-mescal-normal-people-channel-5-a9652966.html

Yes, but who, or what, is doing the knocking?

I have watched one and a half episodes, but it's ludicrous on so many levels, and frankly life is too short ......

I have been watching Line of Duty so recorded this but I am having second thoughts about bothering to watch it.

It is absolute rubbish.
I am enjoying it immensely.

Far fetched, but will keep watching.

Why did the husband leave after the (very small) funeral and go home to chat to the builder instead of going to the presumably (very small) wake?

Why did the girlfriend/mistress rock up as she did, pretending to be from the wife’s agency, wear the dead woman’s clothes, wander to the village in her pyjamas, swipe keys and go into locked rooms, use the computer (no password needed), sleep with the husband in the marital bed on the same night as the funeral?

Agree about the mother not seeming bothered about all this, she and the husband seem to be in some conspiracy.

I think it will have a daft ending, but will keep watching the next two nights. Might not have bothered if it went on for weeks.

I watched the first 2 parts and will watch the rest as want to know what happens. Had a good write-up in the paper and I love a good psychological thriller. Definitely a few oddities eg Mary (Rosin's mother doesn't act as if she has just lost her daughter. Also agree that if the fire had been that bad, it wouldn't be habitable. Wouldn't there be investigations by fire officers to determine how it started?

I’ve been watching and some of it is unbelievable. A house fire like that would leave the whole house reeking of smoke and unliveable. The electricity’ would be damaged, yet they’re living in the house and went into the room where the fire had been.
Tonight Michael opened the wood burning stove to put a log on with his bare hands. They stove would have been extremely hot.
I like the story but not it’s poor execution.
