watched it for a while but once I saw Sally Lindsay was in it turned over......I can't get into anything with ex corrie stars playing detectives. Outcomes so predictable.

After watching lots of other crime dramas, I couldn't believe that they didn't work out that he hadn't been killed where he lay. I do like the idea of it being on each day though. Gives me just enough time to chunner between each episode "Was he known to the killer?" etc etc?

It is poorly done, I guess I ll keep watching, but it’s hardly drama of the year is it unrealistic unbelievable and as others have said poorly acted

I was looking forward to this drama but very underwhelmed by it. Like you Bluebell don’t like any of the main characters and I think the main chap and his mistress are terrible actors. It he shouts the name ‘Angela ‘ once more I will scream ?

I gave up after episode one.
If it was any good BBC or ITV would have snapped it up, but I gave it a try.
I’ve been more gripped by episodes of Scooby doo.

Anyone still watching?

I watched half an hour of episode two, then went to bed.

Is it worth trying to see how it pans out? Such unlikeable people!

Disappointing. Gave up and went to listen to the episode 3 bbc sounds podcast of Line of Duty.

I switched to yet another repeat of The Chase after the first slow-moving half hour as this certainly didn’t grab my interest. On the whole, disappointing, although admittedly I didn’t give it very long.

I am waiting for the victim to be left/right handed, a cunning clue.
Another extraordinary house, shades of 'Finding Alice' and another one where all the activity took place in enormous empty rooms without curtains. No idea what it was about, or the title. Just remember the house.

Why did neither the couple nor their friend/guest wear gloves? There were several lingering close-ups of them handling the knife and clearing up. There must have been loads of forensic evidence, but none was found.

It was ok maddy it may also get better, it wasn’t awful

It must have been interesting for me so good I nodded off in the chair and woke up just at the end, oh well I 've missed that
then.

Just watched this and thought it strange that the husband was at work doing his radio talk show so soon. Surely he would have taken time off after such a traumatic event. Will probably stick will it though as I like Sally Lindsay.

Mmmmm, I was going to watch but didn’t get round to it. Maybe it’s not worth bothering judging by the comments on here.

grandmajet Mon 05-Apr-21 22:29:11

I’m not sure either. I’ll give it another go.
Why didn’t the intruder wear gloves? Why did the bloke stab him? It was all a bit odd.

LauraNorder Mon 05-Apr-21 22:26:12

Wasn’t really gripped but have put the rest on to record and will see how it goes.

Charleygirl5 Mon 05-Apr-21 22:23:24

For me it was very slow but I sat through it until the bitter end. I doubt if I will bother watching another episode.

BlueBelle Mon 05-Apr-21 22:15:41

I thought it was ok for a first episode looking forward to see what happens tomorrow looks as if there could’ve some twists and turns Didn't like any of the three main characters ...that’s a good start ?

BigBertha1 Mon 05-Apr-21 22:12:09

I have just seen it dont know what to think. Not really engaged with it. Sorry for the bereaved father...why would his son do that not a straightforward robbery I should think.

Calendargirl Mon 05-Apr-21 22:02:33

Anyone else just watched this on Channel 5? Another drama over four successive nights.

I have a sneaking feeling it will end up like that recent Jill Halfpenny one, or the one a while ago set in Ireland, about a dead author wife and the widower’s new girlfriend.

So memorable I cannot recall the titles!
