Anyone else watch this?

Started on Channel 5 last night, carries on the next 3 evenings.

Set in Australia, husband disappears when out surfing, presumed drowned, new wife, both have troubled past family history.

It reminds me of another Aussie four nighter, a while ago, ‘Lie With Me’, in fact I thought it was the same actress playing the main part, but it’s not.

Shall keep watching as not much else on, but think it will turn out the usual damp squib.

Joseanne no probs.

Thank you tanith Just looked her up she was also in Shakespeare & Hathaway and that's where I now remember seeing her.

Joseanne Thu 29-Dec-22 22:25:48

Well that's my theory blown out of the water. 🌊
So the neighbour is the real baddy after all. Simples, though probably not.

Aaarrgh! I'm on episode 3 of Riptide and it's getting silly now (or should I say sillier ?)

Poppyred Fri 30-Dec-22 19:55:24

Yes, bit far fetched …. And

Lovely house

Sparklefizz Fri 30-Dec-22 19:59:09

The house is too empty and not at all homely for me. I wouldn't like it (which is probably just as well as I'm not going to get it smile )

I think Dan the neighbour will have a grisly end.

Alison wears a strange assortment of clothes. And why, when it’s warm enough to go surfing, does she wear a beanie type woolly hat?

Joseanne Fri 30-Dec-22 21:05:24

She wears those long cardis too.

Calendargirl Fri 30-Dec-22 21:13:16

Oh no, poor Jenny!

Another one to bite the dust at the hands of dastardly Dan!

Joseanne

She wears those long cardis too.

And a tartan dressing gown.

Calendargirl Fri 30-Dec-22 21:45:59

Plus scarf and gloves.

confused

Calendargirl Fri 30-Dec-22 22:00:04

Yep, another damp squib.

merlotgran Fri 30-Dec-22 22:02:55

How come Hannah got to the remote house so quickly? It was supposed to be a two hour drive.

Joseanne Fri 30-Dec-22 22:06:04

And how was she allowed into the police interview room to talk to Dan?
All highly unlikely.

Gingster Fri 30-Dec-22 22:09:56

What a weak ending! All over too quickly. Daughter arriving just as mum was emerging from the forest.
They wouldn’t have been allowed In the interrogation room to see him.
A shame as I enjoyed it up until the end.

merlotgran Fri 30-Dec-22 22:22:55

The bloke playing Dan was a terrible actor and I kept getting Logan and Ethan muddled up. 😂

At least Hannah was a credible character, unlike her dumb mother!

granfromafar Fri 30-Dec-22 22:33:06

I stuck with this, even though it was obvious by end of 4th episode that Dan was up to no good. Too many unbelievable points eg wandering into each other's house willy nilly -doesn't anyone lock their front door in Australia? 4 hours wasted.

Did he meet the estate agent girl?
Was she another victim?

Yes. She sussed him out so he murdered her during the ad break! 🤣🤣

Wyllow3 Fri 30-Dec-22 22:53:35

It was....watchable... (with gransnet open too and a glass of white...)

I liked Hannah too. She was almost the only person who felt credibly "real".

Did you not notice him scrubbing the spot of blood off the floor? In between eating his dinner? Where did he put her body? He wouldn’t have had time to go and bury it.

Yes, Hannah did her part well.

Loved the way that despite all the shenanigans, Ethan and Logan’s hair managed to stay immaculately coiffed.

Personally, thought Alison looked a mess most of the time.

Yes, and I'm guessing he murdered the husband of the tall blonde lady friend too. She turned up in a final police station shot too, presumably charging him with that.

Calendargirl Sat 31-Dec-22 10:23:32

It was rubbish wasn’t it?

But it filled up 9 o’ clock viewing for 4 nights.

LadyGracie Sat 31-Dec-22 10:50:36

Joseanne you've perked my interest to continue watching.
