Did anyone else watch it?
Is anyone else confused?

The usual slightly dark, sometimes mumbled BBC production but spotting places we know was more interesting.

Well that was as clear as mud Wasted 6 hours on a load of old
tripe, shes a good actress though but the storyline left me cold, so muddled and unexplainable, for me I should add maybe you clever folk got it, I didn’t

I just said to DH that's wasted six hours we'll not get back.
Luckily I can crochet at the same time so not six hours totally wasted.

And I kept expecting Chloe to be alive and living in that caravan.

Millie22 Mon 21-Feb-22 22:05:08

Yes I'm just the same. What was happening as I've still no idea.

Were we supposed to see who those envelopes she picked up were addressed to? There were lots of phone messages I didn't catch. Also hard to tell what is real and what is in her mind. I shall stick with it but I'm not in a hurry to watch any more 'thriller' type programmes.

Callistemon21 Sun 20-Feb-22 22:25:31

I fell asleep - what did I miss?!

BlueBelle Sun 20-Feb-22 22:23:57

I m still watching but so muddled it doesn’t help because my eyes can’t pick up all the many phone messages, diary inputs etc and there is a lot of them it’s very difficult if you haven’t got good eyesight I ve never understood why they don’t put the phone messages etc in the subtitles
So not really enjoying it I night be better off watching it on my iPad !

jsut watched tonight's episode- wow, where is it going. Is he the killer controller?

I have just binge watched over the stormy weekend. It was very good so I just let it keep playing. I would not have stuck with it if I hadn’t binge watched it, and also sat near the tele to see in the dark bedroom and the phone screenshots.
Shame I’ve finished it really.

Jane71 Sun 20-Feb-22 17:22:32

I've really enjoyed watching it, and looking forward to seeing the final episodes.
Yes it is confusing, but so engrossing!

Urmstongran Sun 20-Feb-22 17:06:07

Because I finished it ages ago it’s receding into the back of my memory bank now‼️
I do think it needed serious editing because, although I enjoyed it at the end I thought ‘what⁉️ SIX HOURS for this denouement in the last 15 minutes?’

Anyway I’m into ‘Inventing Anna’ now.
9 x 1hr episodes and it’s brilliant! Better than ‘Chloe’ in my humble. I’m hooked so plan to watch it on and off all next week. There is a thread running on it too.

Enjoy Chloe those sticking with it. ?

I'm on episode 4 and I've no idea what's going on! but it's very intriguing. I'm hoping I can work it all out before the end.

TerriBull Sun 20-Feb-22 13:34:07

Given a lot of negative impressions on this thread, I thought I wouldn't bother, but a couple of friends told me they really liked it, so I thought I'd give it a go. One and a half episodes in, reasonably intrigued, do agree about the scenes filmed in relative darkness, can barely see anything, will continue with it this evening.

What do you all think about it now, I have seen up to episode 3 inclusive and can't stop watching it, it is so intriguing now.

I wish they wouldn't keep showing signs, phone messages etc that we can barely read or don't have time to read.

I thought I was a fast reader but most are barely legible (too dark) or gone in a flash.

In some films they show the text message on the screen - like a subtitle. I wish they had done this.

We have a big telly but I still struggled

Farzanah Tue 15-Feb-22 09:38:06

I don’t binge watch just see each episode as shown. I completely agree about phone messages Callistemon this and filming in the dark seems de rigueur in modern dramas at the moment. Fashion will pass……..hopefully.
The expensive “party clothes” are not something I’d ever go out in even if young and rich. The extra wide shoulders look as if the coat hanger’s been left in.

Atqui Tue 15-Feb-22 09:34:07

It’s difficult to discuss a drama when everyone is at a different stage isn’t it? We can’t talk about the episodes especially the ending til it’s aired in real time . I think there are two more Sunday night ones to go ??

Finished it tonight. I agree with everything said about the dark and the mumbling but think the whole thing was pretty good and, in a way, true to life. Had my suspicions from about half way through but didn't guess the ending until almost the end which is the sign of a good drama for me.

Atqui Mon 14-Feb-22 22:11:47

Watched episode 5 tonight . Wish they wouldn’t keep showing scenes in darkness!

Bellanonna Sun 13-Feb-22 14:54:40

On balance I can’t say I really enjoyed the series despite excellent acting from Erin Doherty. There were lots of dark scenes and I still don’t know where the money came from, but I think I just missed something there.

Saw the last episode last night. I had to keep rewinding to work out what was being said - my TV or bad diction? Also pausing to try & make out the small mobile phone shots. If anyone knows what happened do please post.

Elliot’s mother was awful - maybe that’s why he was a bit unhinged. Scary to think he was trying to become an MP!!

Tina49 Fri 11-Feb-22 15:11:53

Thanks for the PM! I won’t ask any more questions in case it spoils it for anyone!

Tina49 Fri 11-Feb-22 14:45:36

I agree about the clothes - Becky / Sasha had a lovely figure, but often dressed like a Panto dame hmm

I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone, but I’m still confused about the money?
