Well, I expected better from the BBC.
How bad can the acting be?
Did anyone else waste an hour, hoping it could improve?

Well it must have bored you if you watched Chris Packham!!!I thought it very interesting Nd unusual.

I suppose if your a person who couldn’t understand or appreciate the knowledge of Chris Packham this mindless dross is for you.

😀

Thank you MerylStreep

Really unpleasant and unnecessary comment

It was, wasn't it.

It didn't bore me - it just didn't look like our thing from the trailer and if it's gruesome and nasty then no thank you!

A very interesting series called Earth.

SachaMac Wed 02-Aug-23 16:35:53

Not watched yet but have recorded so will give it a go, sounds rather gruesome!

I liked the idea of a policeman with a backstory, I guess they all have though, but so much of it was just weird and difficult to make sense of I didn't bother with episode 2, and yes, they didn't look like police officers and it should have occurred to the woman that yes, they weren't what they said and why let your daughter go to a remote part of the house with one of them. was she naive or just stupid? Either way count me
out

Last night, episode two, I turned over as the violence and terror is not for me

Thanks for the warning, I might give it a miss then 🙂

This is a wonderful adult drama, all the better for not being predictable and samey as other drama's. It is good to have something different to watch, sick of plastic reality shows,so lets celebrate having a gritty mature programme to get our teeth into. Well done to all the cast, excellent acting.

Second episode reminded me of scenes from a clockwork orange…..though not as disturbing

Candelle Wed 02-Aug-23 13:23:13

I watched the first episode thinking that some programmes are slow burners and I ought give it a chance.

Last night, episode two, I turned over as the violence and terror is not for me.

Those that watch to end, perhaps give an update/critique as to whether it improved or even 'you missed a good'un'!

Watched the first episode and cancelled the recordings of subsequent ones, put off by superfluously gruesome clips of the next episode.

Sar53 Wed 02-Aug-23 13:16:17

I'm glad I am not the only one 'enjoying' it even though I watch clutching a cushion.
All of Mo Hayder's books were like this, very dark, gruesome and disturbing.
It would be a sad world if we all liked or disliked the same thing.
Even DH is watching with me and he doesn't watch much that I like.

BeneathTheHowlingStars Wed 02-Aug-23 13:09:30

I am really enjoying it. I love stuff like that.

Petalpop Wed 02-Aug-23 12:53:09

Love it. Will watch the rest on iPlayer this evening.

Lizzie44 Wed 02-Aug-23 12:51:33

Read a review and knew it wasn't for me. Can't bear gruesome.

Widnesbabcia Wed 02-Aug-23 12:51:14

I loved it .. absolutely crazy but addictive

CrazyMazy Wed 02-Aug-23 12:34:09

I enjoyed the first episode and actually enjoyed the ‘dark’ humour. It was cleverly put together. But I found the second episode quite disturbing. Maybe it was my mood at the time. So DH and I have decided to binge watch sometime during the day! Maybe less disturbing?

Ilovedragonflies Wed 02-Aug-23 12:33:54

I admit to binge watching it and really enjoyed it. I thought the two stories running adjacent to each other (Jack's missing brother & the 'terrorising cops') was cleverly done. Dark humour indeed - just my cup of tea.

Dinahmo Wed 02-Aug-23 12:18:51

We've both enjoyed it and will be watching the rest.

I’m enjoying it - half way through. Admittedly very dark and reminds me of some of the Coen brothers work.

I agree.
My OH hates it.
