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

This series is based on books by Mo Hayder which were all very dark.
I enjoyed the books when I read them many years ago.
The series is meant to be dark and quirky.
We will continue watching on I Player.
I know I am in the minority here !!!

After the recent “Sixth Commandment” this was a step back into time. Unbelievable rubbish. Thought it was a cross between trying to be Agatha Christie crossed with Stephen King ( apologies to fans of both). Cannot believe those poor actors survived the making of it without throwing in the towel.

I’m not watching it again tonight. I’d rather watch paint dry.

OH read the reviews and said it gets a lot better, not watched the first part yet but will give it a go.

Callistemon21 Tue 01-Aug-23 10:58:41

I shouldn't comment, we didn't watch it 😀

icanhandthemback Tue 01-Aug-23 10:54:51

I loved it! We binged watched the first 4 episodes and reluctantly went to bed without watching the last 2.
Not for the first time, I find myself out of step with the majority. grin

Ps the advert for Wolf was enough t put us off.

It made me feel uncomfortable, so I switched over to Chris Packham instead.

Thank goodness we've been watching Chris Packham!

A must-see and to be recommended. 🌏

It was a mix of dire and farce..the music was simply dreadful and unremitting.. not for me

Visgir1 Tue 01-Aug-23 10:47:06

Well think you have all said it.. What on earth?
These are all brilliant Actors so there must be a reason why they agreed to do it.
At times we were completely confused, had no idea what was going on.
Obviously they weren't Police, complete with the side order of the missing Brother. What happened to the daughter in the past? Why them? Crikey what a muddle?

Not sure about tonights episode, do I watch or not?

I thought it was going to be scary but when they started the Freddy Mercury impression I just had to laugh. I have heard it gets better.

Kate1949 Tue 01-Aug-23 10:15:35

Awful. The minute Juliet let those men in, my husband said 'They're not police officers'.

Maya1 Tue 01-Aug-23 10:04:03

I have recorded it so not seen it yet. I thought it might be worth a watch as it's based on Mo Hayder books.

Bella23 Tue 01-Aug-23 09:51:32

I thought is was dire. We kept watching to see if it would get better but it got more farcical. Juliet Stevenson must be in need of some cash to take part in it. Perhaps the BBC were using her to dupe us all.

BigBertha1 Tue 01-Aug-23 09:44:05

Not for me I enjoy suspense but not torture. I'm out.

The only thing the beeb does well nowadays, their wildlife programmes.

coco12 Tue 01-Aug-23 09:13:35

Like you said an hour wasted, won't bother with any more. I thought the acting was wooden

Farzanah Tue 01-Aug-23 08:49:42

When the two “policeman” arrived like two stooges I thought this was a black comedy and I hadn’t read the preview properly. Weird or what?

Curlywhirly Tue 01-Aug-23 08:34:06

I thought it was dire - it was obvious from the outset that the 2 detectives were imposters and so much of the story was just ridiculous. Despite this, I will probably watch the following episodes!

GrannyGravy13 Tue 01-Aug-23 08:17:09

It can only get better, but I am not convinced.

NannyJan53 Tue 01-Aug-23 07:55:17

Well, that was an hour of my life wasted! It was so obvious they were not Police Officers. They didn't even look at the warrant card.

eazybee Tue 01-Aug-23 07:49:00

Fell asleep; seems to have been a lucky escape.

MerylStreep Tue 01-Aug-23 07:46:23

Juliet Stevenson must need the money to put her name to such a poor script and even worse acting from some of the cast.
I could tell/see that they weren’t policeman from the moment they walked through the door.

Gingster Tue 01-Aug-23 07:37:39

Reviews say ‘stick with it’. Not sure if I can 😵‍💫
