Just started watching this new 4 night drama on Channel 5.

I’m only at the first ad break, but already think it’s following in the footsteps of sooooooo many other four night dramas.

Not much else on though.

yes, its dark down there and it has a bright red light.

When Jake and Becky are in the wine cellar/ bondage room, do they not notice the baby monitor device that Anna has planted there?

It seems to look quite noticeable to me.

Namsnanny Thu 15-Jul-21 21:13:56

Why is Becky dragging the gardener into things?
Looks like she is manipulating him.

I think you'll be right Calendargirl although I hope not.

I wonder what the gardener is hiding in his shed?

So how will it end? Will Ray the taxi driver kill the husband before he (Ray) leaves for New Zealand? There has to be a reason he's had a speaking part and given Anna his personal information.

Hmm, that’s an interesting thought Sparklefizz.

Very samey and predictable. Nothing exciting about it. Corny and Charlie Brooks over-acts like mad. She is a one-dimensional actor. She can only play herself like in a soap.

I am watching it because there is not much else to watch. Huge house and no staff apart from the nanny and gardener who must have a job to maintain all those grounds.
If they did have staff they wouldn’t be able to have hanky lanky in the daytime.

I honestly thought Anna might end up with good old Ray, as a sort of father figure.

This was before he spoke about his (male) partner of 30 years.

confused

Atqui

Wouldn’t want to be one of his clients - he’s never at work !

But he must charge high fees in order to afford that property!!

Can’t wait to see the ending . So sad that there really are men like that gaslighting their partners

I agree, the first episode was so predictable and weak, but….it does improve. As someone else says, the countryside and the 2 houses are fabulous escapism, but without spoiling anything for those who haven’t progressed it, it’s one of those (for me) that irritates me to watch, but I want to see how it ends (tonight). Hopefully there will be done comeuppance…

Clunky.dreadful script.they just d,not appear to be comfortable in such a large home? Best acting? Daughter! Love her sham messing with the plug! Husband and wife mismatch.... cannot be bothered going on. Deleted from planner....

Calendargirl Thu 15-Jul-21 14:30:45

The ending will be far-fetched and a let down, I’m sure, but still quite looking forward to it.

Nanny27 Thu 15-Jul-21 14:27:49

I'm loving it. I agree it began badly and I was all set to abandon it after episode 1 but it has definitely picked up and I can't wait for the final one tonight.

inishowen Thu 15-Jul-21 13:53:44

The wife's job was a set up. Staff give her funny looks because they know she has no real work to do. That's why she swans off when she feels like it.

RosesAreRed21 Thu 15-Jul-21 13:21:08

Yes I agree but I’m enjoying it

Alioop Thu 15-Jul-21 13:21:04

I am about to watch the 3rd episode this afternoon and looking forward to it. It's lucky I live alone, cos he's a dirty dog and it has shouting at the telly like a mad woman. Sad I know grin

Stella14 Thu 15-Jul-21 12:57:35

I think it’s very good

sarahcyn Thu 15-Jul-21 12:35:32

This series sounds so awful I'm going to have to watch it!!!

esgt1967 Thu 15-Jul-21 12:14:05

Have watched 2 episodes now and I agree there are very many holes in the plot and some of the dialogue is awful but I am rather enjoying it.

Haven't worked out yet if the "deceased" mentioned in the opening is the husband or wife - I suspect it will be the husband but you just never know......

Shirlb Thu 15-Jul-21 12:12:02

One of those things so bad but got to watch it ??

LullyDully Thu 15-Jul-21 07:50:22

Or stay in the rather nice house which seems to stay so pristine with little or no effort.
