Anyone watching? Quite intriguing, and Shirley Henderson is so good as the obsessed woman.

The whole thing was bizarre. Wish I hadn’t stuck with it now. ?

I have not seen the last episode yet, but the lead actress is doing well because she makes my skin crawl.
It is a very good drama and good all round acting.I liked the teacher George, I have seen him in dramas before, his name is Craig Parkinson and he steals scenes in my view.I would like to see him in more programmes.

Checked it out but only watched 20 mins as it was too dark (as per usual). It was just horrible, a missing child, I can't be doing with it, I'd rather watch something with a better storyline or nicer characters.

Shirley Henderson was also a crazy woman under the spell of James Norton in Happy Valley.

I had sworn I wasn't going to watch any more episodes but of course I did.

The voice still had me grimacing.

It was an odd programme

It was odd. I assume the ending made sense because she was ill, and thought she had less to lose? I hope that makes sense without giving too much away?

When can we discuss the ending without spoiling it?

It was dark, I quite liked its oddness. Although, there were a few ‘ would they really do that’ moments.
She did have MH issues. Strange ending.

It was intriguing the way she was somehow able to roam round everyone's house! The family she rescued couldn't really live happily ever after though, knowing their son had killed their daughter!

As soon as it’s been screened is fine in my opinion.

What annoys me, which has been discussed before, is when others binge watch, and proceed to talk about the ending before it has been on at the proper time, if you follow.

If others watch it later on catch up, well, that’s unfortunate but can’t be helped.

Watched it all, my conclusion is that's four hours that I can never get back grin

My dh gave it his full attention while I gave it aside glances and attention My dh thought it was rubbish and a waste of time.
