BBC. "WOLF"

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

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

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

A very interesting series called Earth.

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!

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

The BBC are very good at "spoilers", so after the trailers and interviews with the actors we already knew the "detectives" were nothing of the sort. There is much more to the plot than that - I don't know why people are only focusing on those characters and not on the wider story and the other characters.

I didn't like it! I found it scary! Thats just me, though.

Well I enjoyed it.

So did I…considering the subject matter I thought the acting excellent, with lesser actors it could have descended into farce and been stupid…as it was, it held the attention throughout. Not exactly a literary masterpiece but the black humour was superb! I binge watched and was gripped by it!

Luckily I don’t watch any spoilers or trailers, so all the twists and turns came as little shocks and held my attention. For those who didn’t get past episode 1 you missed some fun ( Noir Crime with black humour) - I really enjoyed it…particularly the ‘Opera ‘ scene!

I've just watched the second episode and think it's a bit different but very good. I'll certainly be watching the rest of it, OH is also hooked!

Dear me. I think you need a strong stomach for this, but I’m still watching 😱

I’ve seen them all now and really enjoyed it after almost giving up at the beginning.

It’s clever!

I finished it last night, very dark and as merlot says, clever, I read the books years ago. This adaptation was slightly different or so my memory says. What was captured though, was the increasing sense of doom. The Jack Caffrey actor was superb, in fact an excellent cast.
I’m looking forward to the 2nd series

Watched last night's episode last night without the faintest idea of what was going on but it was held my attention. Clearly very black humour, verging on the sadistic, not sure I will watch it again, but if the alternative is Chris Packham, I may well.
He is extremely boring; the subject deserves a better presenter.

I think it has improved as it has gone on, although I liked it from the off. The development of the fake policemen's characters and background has been very interesting, especially last night when we saw the Asian one talking to his very nice, pregnant wife. I think that he saw this as an acting role, and that the Welsh one we thought was the weaker, more stupid of the team is the smarter. The business with the bucket of guts is intriguing and it is interesting seeing the Asian 'policeman' being spooked by strange happenings, being frightened.

I’m loving it still. Each episode I get tempted to go binge and see what’s to come………but what would be next for Monday and Tuesday viewing.

I’m watching it each week, and tbh was quite bored this week.

I am with you Farzanah.We have it on as DH wants to see how it ends and I only watch with half an eye. Perhaps that is why I find it boring!

I had planned to watch this but was put off by a very bad review by Sarah Vine in the DM. Then I read this thread and thought I should make my own mind up.

I quite like dark and quirky (Inside No. 9 and League of Gentlemen type stuff).

I watched the first two episodes last night and really enjoyed it. It was a bit gruesome but not that bad really. I am planning to watch the remaining episodes tonight.
