Just wondered if anyone else is watching this?

Yes I'm watching it..I'm about to watch episide 3 and really enjoying it..

Yes. I think it's awful. We gave up.

Haven't started it yet as I've been watching The Control Room on BBC. They both started at the same time! I will have to come back to this thread later.

That was the scariest drama I have seen for a long time. Edge of my seat!

Much preferred it to The Control Room the end of which I found disappointing.

The Control Room had plenty of twists and turns but the writers just focused on the plot and made them do a lot of dashing around. They forgot to feed them and give them a shower! I kept thinking 'they must be getting hungry' and 'they must be getting a bit smelly, they need a shower'. ?

I enjoyed Witness Number 3 much better than the dreadful Control Room. Even my husband stopped looking at YouTube to watch it.
It was scary wasn't it Ilovecheese?

Just watched episode 3, shouting at the TV, for some things that were disappointing.

I preferred Witness Number 3, too, and agree that it was genuinely scary as it seemed believable and something that could happen to anyone who wanted to 'do the right thing' by victims of crime.

Okay, started watching Witness Number 3 and gave up after 15 mins. I didn't like the way it was going. Not for me. I managed to make it through The Control Room but it was a formulaic thriller and there were times I was bored, yes bored, with the plot being so contrived.

I enjoyed Witness Number 3 and without spoiling the end for anyone, I knew exactly what she would do/say at the end. I found it quite scary because I think it was fairly believable for most of the time.

I’m half way through. I am enjoying it a lot, and yes, it really is scary.
I do find that, like many similar dramas, you have to suspend your level of disbelief.

Yes, I get told off for commenting when something unfeasible happens, the comment usually ending in " its only a tv programme/ film" !
