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.

I’m tuning in on iPlayer now to finish Ep. 3 and then will watch Ep. 4 I do like binge watching better than a weekly hour’s worth.

Struggling on with it! Now n episode 3, and still not really too sure what on earth is going on!!!

Did anyone else recognise the main character? She played Princess Anne
in The Crown on Netflix.

Just what I was going to add!

I’m sticking with it but yes it is a bit confusing. She obviously knew the girl that committed suicde and was a part of her past. I’ll keep going all may come clear.

Radio Times has explanatory articles re Chloe, quite helpful.

Live in Bristol so watched it for the location spotting. Now on to episode 4 and am intrigued x

When she's driving along that leafy road near the sea, is that the road between Weston and Sandy Bay? They only show an aerial view.

RADA?? Ha haa? Are you serious? You think ALL actors go through RADA? Get with the program..... I bet you think trigger point is dead realistic too?

I read the Guardian review of this and it helped me understand it better.
I think the actress (Princess Anne) is brilliant, and after seeing the second episode I am really getting in to it and managing to suspend belief in the unlikely coincidences and just go with it.
Re the designer clothes. I thought her mum had got it right when she asked if she was going in fancy dress to a party. Looked silly, designer or not!

LilyBlue Tue 08-Feb-22 12:52:02

I wasn’t sure what was going on either but I was intrigued.
I’ve watched all episodes now on iplayer.
I thought it was very good but still not sure about everything. I thought it was worth watching, it gets far more interesting. I’m going to try and watch it again looking for things that I might have missed.

We watched the first 2 last night. We're going to watch the remaining episodes tonight.

I must admit it was a tad confusing but enjoyable with it.

mistymitts Tue 08-Feb-22 12:48:15

Maybe it will pull together. I found the first episode of ‘I will destroy you a bit baffling’ but by the end of the second episode I was riveted. I haven’t watched Chloe yet, but thanks for the heads up. Will give it a try later when I know that I won’t fall asleep!

Sorry about the typos.
My stylus has gone soft.

That made me laugh ?

Is she trying to find out about Chloe's suicide and what led up to it, whether or not her posh friends had something to do with it or her husband and that is why she blags her way into their circle. It takes remarkable confidence to do what she is doing remember Mr Ripley with Leonardo di Caprio.

Dylant1234 Tue 08-Feb-22 12:27:54

I’m a bit confused but also strangely intrigued - shall continue watching to see what develops.

turn not run!

Callistemon21 Tue 08-Feb-22 12:00:27

They never run on lights, trisher!

Ther have been several dramas on TV recently where we've been left bewildered because people creep around a house in the dark, having head strange noises!

When my friend's DH heard strange noises in the night downstairs, he put on lights and yelled, telling his wife to phone the police (she was actually away). The burglars fled.

I suppose nowadays the burglars know the police don't turn up.

trisher Tue 08-Feb-22 11:25:33

I did wonder though if you let a complete stranger stay the night and heard a noise woudn't you at least turn on a light? Rather than getting down on the floor with them in the dark?

All the grumbly Gransnetters are sounding like the teenage instant gratification age group - sometimes wait and see and concentrate is not a bad way to be
Rude.

It's dark and mumbly for a start. A good book, film, TV series should grab your attention in the first chapter/episode so that you want more and to see the story evolve.

I shall continue watching.

It just gets better. More to it than the first episode indicated. Himself would hate it. All the references to Insta and likes, then clicking into another person’s profile etc ?

Modern detection aids it seems.

BlackSheep46 Tue 08-Feb-22 11:15:19

Chloe: don't be so impatient, wait and see. I don't yet know what the mystery is - it had better be good though and it will be I hope !! All the grumbly Gransnetters are sounding like the teenage instant gratification age group - sometimes wait and see and concentrate is not a bad way to be - all will be revealed in due course. I'll be there watching it next Sunday evening I hope as I have no idea yet what's going on !

GrammaH Tue 08-Feb-22 11:10:30

I'm finding it intriguing though I'm still wondering about why she put wee into the whisky decanter, or did I imagine that? I mentioned it to a friend who'd been watching & she didn't remember that bit! It was about half way through episode 1. I'm assuming she steals clothes - she obviously nicked that beautiful flowery coat off the coat peg in the office in episode one and her gymn top and that flowery dress she wore to the party both had labels in. She'd either stolen them or was hoping to take them back. I'm hoping to hold out til Sunday for the next episode but feel a binge coming on...

Wigtown Tue 08-Feb-22 11:05:40

Keep with it. I am up to episode 5 and hooked!!!
