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.

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…

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

Atqui Thu 15-Jul-21 15:18:52

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!!

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.

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

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.

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.

Hmm, that’s an interesting thought Sparklefizz.

I wonder what the gardener is hiding in his shed?

Namsnanny Thu 15-Jul-21 20:53:53

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

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

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

Calendargirl Thu 15-Jul-21 21:18:19

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 21:25:16

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

Patsy429 Thu 15-Jul-21 21:33:10

It's like Neighbours with sex. I worry about the baby - he sleeps such a lot, what a good baby!

Calendargirl Thu 15-Jul-21 21:34:38

shock and confused

BlueBelle Thu 15-Jul-21 21:36:42

Well I can’t help being pleased at which one has gone
But
Whodunnit ?

Millie22 Thu 15-Jul-21 21:37:05

I like the gardener.

Namsnanny Thu 15-Jul-21 21:48:13

He's the only normal one Millie22

Calendargirl Thu 15-Jul-21 21:50:06

Apart from the GHB in the shed, instead of the usual weed killer that most gardeners have.

Namsnanny Thu 15-Jul-21 21:52:00

For a while I thought Ray might be the MIL spy. But I'm clearly barking up the wrong tree haha

I'm pleased too BlueBelle

Namsnanny Thu 15-Jul-21 21:52:54

Oh yes, I didnt think of that! grin grin

BlueBelle Thu 15-Jul-21 21:53:23

I like the gardener too
Grandma seems very jolly considering her wonderful son is dead

Ngaio1 Thu 15-Jul-21 21:57:25

Oops. I have found it fascinating. Charlie Brooks is better than I thought. My neighbour and I were discussing today - we are both hooked.

lemsip Thu 15-Jul-21 21:58:38

beware all nannies, don't mess about with the husbands!
I enjoyed this.
