Just watching this.

Another psychological thriller.

Joanne Froggatt playing another abused wife.

Where does she work? I thought she was a veterinary assistant, then I wondered if it was a prison, or a dog rescue centre. Still not sure.

6 episodes, no idea where it’s going.

Mangled foxes, rats...

Though it boring and very tired acting..not intriguing at all maybe will pick up..

lemsip Mon 11-Oct-21 20:34:31

How did they manage to show that she had lost a tooth, when obviously she hadn’t?

Black it out

She looked into the mirror and a space where a tooth should have been in the lower set, was quite clear.
Didnt we see her in the dentists office?
Talking of teeth, when it was knocked out, could anyone else tell what it was by the sound of it hitting the hard floor?
Maybe because something similar happened to me I immediately knew without actually seeing what happened.
I thought that was a very good way to let the viewer in on the scene, without actually being graphic.

Fell asleep in the 2nd episode, woke up five minutes before the end to see Angela looking traumatised, telling her sons that a fox had killed the rabbit, resulting in said sons rushing off crying and shouting ‘I hate you!’

Is it worth me watching it again, or are another four episodes four too many?

Did anyone else have a problem with the dialogue, I found it very indistinct in places.

BlueBelle Mon 18-Oct-21 09:21:07

Never have a problem with speech as I read subtitles whilst listening to the words and that makes it perfect Got it down to a fine art Why dont more people do that instead of putting up with poor sound My TV s not ultra posh but the sound is very good and I don’t have a problem but have got into the habit of subs as an addition in case I miss anything

I m thoroughly enjoying it he s a creepy husband and not at all sure about the private eye yet What’s with the rabbit getting killed are these dead animals all just warnings to make her frightened
I think she’s doing a sterling job of acting the part

Bridie22 Sun 24-Oct-21 22:09:41

I havent a clue what is going to happen, is she having a psychotic episode or is her husband playing mind games with her?... enjoying it tho!!

Smileless2012 Sun 24-Oct-21 22:10:56

Very disappointed in the episode just watched but will have to watch it to the end to see what happens.

Calendargirl Sun 24-Oct-21 22:14:49

Why is she suddenly Angela Meyers? Who is Angela Black? And what happened at Edgeware or a similar name?

Knew as soon as he was showing her the gun he was going to trick her into using it and incriminating herself.

Apart from his wanting to kill her and supposedly murdering an ex mistress, they seem to have the strangest relationship and marriage.

No idea where Ed comes into it all, being paid by the husband I suppose to fool her.

Charleygirl5 Sun 24-Oct-21 22:32:08

I have given up- I just was not enjoying it. I only watched about 10 minutes of tonight.

trisher Sun 24-Oct-21 22:35:19

It was so obvious what he was up to. Couldn't believe anyone could fall for it.

Doodledog Mon 25-Oct-21 00:01:26

I thought in episode one that she would be, or would be claimed to be an unreliable narrator. The programme is rubbish, IMO, but that aspect of it is making me deeply uncomfortable. It can be difficult for women to be taken seriously when it comes to domestic violence, and anything that adds to that difficulty needs to be handled much better than this. I know it’s not over yet (is it?) but even so.

Bridie22 Mon 25-Oct-21 07:12:46

Not sure how many episodes are left, but surely there is more to it than we are currently seeing??, maybe a twist .

seacliff Mon 25-Oct-21 07:31:23

I stopped watching half way through last night. Not pleasant viewing, so predictable, and I'm not mad on her as an actress.

silverlining48 Mon 25-Oct-21 07:58:02

I thought yesterday was the last episode but if so it ended rather strangely.

mumofmadboys Mon 25-Oct-21 08:00:52

3 more episodes to go

silverlining48 Mon 25-Oct-21 08:22:22

Oh thanks for that not sure why I thought last night was the end. It certainly didn’t feel like it.

Granniesunite Mon 25-Oct-21 08:49:32

I was quite annoyed with last night's episode. As said up thread women are finding it difficult to be taken seriously when its a case of domestic abuse, especial emotional abuse where the scars aren't visible and most don't resort to violence themselves.

To me at present this story is playing into the hands of abusing men.

I watch til the end but!!!

henetha Mon 25-Oct-21 10:20:32

I'm still watching it even though baffled. What a boring couple they are! But I'm intrigued enough to stick with it.

Doodledog Mon 25-Oct-21 11:12:38

I'll probably stick with it too, having invested three hours in it already, but I don't really care about either of them.
