Before We Die

I was a bit disappointed as well, it is a shame.

I recorded this because I was watching the Sewing Bee. So I will watch it this evening.

I can't be bothered to watch dramas at the moment, its a small circle of actors and actresses and the formats are usually totally unbelieveable.

I also thought there was something funny about the voices! I got my gusto stop and redwing the bit in the shop because I said the shop assistants voice didn’t see to match up ! I wonder if it was recorded differently because of the pandemic? The plot was quite intriguing though .

I switched off during the second bout of torture. Unpleasant.

I thought it a tad slow to start off with and we were well warned about the torture scenes. I enjoyed it and I will definitely watch at least another episode before I make a final decision.

I was not impressed with it halfway through episode one. Now I see people mention torture, I'm out.

Watched first episode on catch up last night. All seemed rather implausible and don’t think I’m really motivated to watch any more.

Was quite looking forward to watching this over the weekend. Don’t think I will bother now. Thanks for your views.

Oh dear. I started to watch my recorded episode and thought it was good, - until the torture scene. I just can't watch that.

I too thought there was something strange about the production/sound. I was very aware that they were acting rather than being caught up in the plot.
The plot was also rather implausible (such as finding a mobile phone lying on the pavement in the high street 24 hours after it had been dropped!)

The torture scenes went too far and IMO were totally over the top only making it shocking. I’ve always said radio dramas are much more effective than tv when they do things like that. With regards to the overall drama,
I agree grandmaKT

I turned off about half way through. Absolutely nothing enjoyable about watching torture. Very disturbing and unpleasant.

I half watched 2 and a half episodes. I fast forwarded through the too many unnecessary torture scenes. Apart from that, I found the acting rather stilted and wooden, and I didn't care what happened. It didn't grab me, so given up now. Disappointed as I usually like Lesley Sharp.

I hear this was originally a Scandi Noir, probably a better version.

I agree about Lesley Sharp. She is a good actress, but I thought she didn’t seem right in this role. Her speech sounded stilted, her hair didn’t seem to suit her, I thought (uncharitably) that she looked so much older than I remembered her, (but don’t we all).

The scene in the ex husband’s home with their son seemed very odd.

I thought it was OK. I just shut my eyes during the torture scenes.

Did anyone keep watching this?

I couldn’t be bothered after episode one,

Just wondered if it improved?

We did but I was glad when it ended.
