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.

Not the best, but it passed the time.
I guessed who the killer was by the second episode.
A very lack lustre drama.

Its one of those that if your watching with anyone else you look at each other at the end and ask "why did we bother" grin

Yes, but at least we can all laugh with each other about ourselves watching it and not taking things too seriously!

Very predictable and I wished I hadn't bothered, figured it out in the first episode.

i stuck with it in the hope that my suspicions were unfounded, but alas no. at the end, there were too many unanswered questions, what happened to naomi, did she exist, what did he do with jenny, had he murdered others? i found it far fetched, predictable, third rate and a waste of 4 hours that i could have spent watching paint dry! apologies to those who enjoyed it!

Dreadful acting, dreadful script, dreadful plot, oh........and dreadful wardrobe...........what was Jo Joyner wearing? and don't get me stated on the daughters clothes.

It looked like a very low-budget production.
