Anyone watching this I m enjoying it so far
Right old families muddle up but not badly acted I think it’s quite well done well after that awful Blind spot it is

Yes, a bit slow to begin with, but I'll see it to the conclusion tomorrow. That Brad is horrible, and I don't like his house either.

East Enders in the bush!! I had been looking forward to it but I found the acting really weak and gave up on it last night.

I have watched the first three episodes and will watch the last one tonight. I was hoping I could binge watch it (and skip through the adverts) but you can't yet.

I only watched it because it was set in Australia.

I think the acting is OK with the exception of Danny Dyer who I though was completely wooden and overacting. I have never watched EastEnders but I suspect he was the same in that.

The storyline is quite good. I am surprised that the wife of the home owner (can't remember her name) hasn't had a bigger role. She seems to be a minor character, which is odd.

Well I m the opposite I don’t watch Eastenders and have never seen Danny Dyer act before, but I didn’t think he was bad well positively glowing compared to Ross Kemp in Blindspot last week .
The other husband is more of a looker but what a nasty piece of work
I ve quite enjoyed it

I've still to watch the last episode , we are quite enjoying it . Danny Dyer can only act as Danny Dyer !

Where can I find Heat?

grannybuy Sat 15-Jul-23 11:32:57

Danny Dyer being in it put me off, but reading your reviews, I might give it a go.

Can Danny Dyer act he just behaves the same in every programme

pydora Sat 15-Jul-23 11:39:49

Channel 5 or binge watch on My Five

Danny Dyer is capable just a few facial expressions and a limited vocal range. The acting was wooden, the plot was extremely silly and the house was truly awful. However, I did watch it as it was so bad that I was hooked! What will Channel 5 come up with next?

Lookout01 Sat 15-Jul-23 11:48:03

Yes I watched it, not keen on Danny Dyers acting and wish he'd lose his fake cockney accent. House owner husband was a looker though 😁

wifey2003 Sat 15-Jul-23 12:01:14

Wooden acting , utter drivel , did give it 30 mins of viewing but no would not recommend it ....

Seabreeze Sat 15-Jul-23 12:06:07

Agree,exactly that.

janthegranx6 Sat 15-Jul-23 12:06:20

It made a change from the eternal cop series, although we had to have the obligatory murder and attempted rape, so that Steve could become the hero at the end. Did the right people die? Brad deserved it, although if he had lived there would be scope for an edgy sequel. Should Steve's wife have been killed off, she was misguided yes, but did she really deserve it?

Strangwendy Sat 15-Jul-23 12:20:19

It was nice to see some ‘Neighbours’ pop in!!

Onthemoors Sat 15-Jul-23 12:26:12

Found it quite difficult to hear their words, had to turn it up really high, and it's not my hearing!

Jodieb Sat 15-Jul-23 12:28:58

Can't bear Danny Dyer so didn't watch.

Dixieblue Sat 15-Jul-23 13:23:19

Yes, Danny Dyer can only play himself. What used to make me cringe was when he was in Eastenders and used to make up his own Cockney rhyming slang.
Agree he can’t act either.

HannahLoisLuke Sat 15-Jul-23 13:23:27

Can’t bear Danny Dyer so no.

😂
I gave it one and a half episodes.Yeah, drivel is right and Dyer a poor actor at the best of times.What was with all the soppy music as well?

grannyro Sat 15-Jul-23 13:59:46

Danny Dyer must be the worst actor ever! I did watch the whole lot but it was pretty unbelievable and I had no empathy with any of them.

pinkjj27 Sat 15-Jul-23 14:19:11

I shouldn’t say this as it’s not nice but I don’t like Danny Dyer. I think he is very much a wooden top actor. He has some very odd ( not nice) opinions and he is rather opinionated and self-absorbed, so I avoid.

homefarm Sat 15-Jul-23 16:15:20

Watched part of first episode - utter rubbish

BlueBelle Sat 15-Jul-23 16:37:53

Haha I enjoyed it for what it was, maybe because I m not an eastenders fan so never really seen DD before he’s not a looker that’s for sure nor a great actor, but not the worst I ve seen the other husband was much better to look at but what a bxxxxx The daughter was really pretty
It certainly wasn’t brainteasing but passed a couple of hours away, definitely seen worse
