BBC. "WOLF"

Sarah Vine’s review was totally negative

Fantastic series. So different to anything I've ever watched before.
Twists and turns galore.
Loved it.

Have you read Mo Hyder’s books Barberdice? Wolf is based on the Jack Caferty novels. Dark well written gripping

I’m enjoying it. I wasn’t sure after the first episode but a friend binge watched it and said to keep watching . I like the back story for one of the fake coppers and the twists and turns especially regarding the couple in the big house.

Iam64, thankyou for the info.
I will definitely look out for the Mo Hyder books revolving round the Jack Caferty character. Think they'll be my kind of thing.

I read earlier posts on this thread and wasn't going to watch the series. My friend said she had watched it and really enjoyed it and suggested I give it a go.
As soon as I started watching I realised I had read all the Mo Hayder books and I knew how Jack Caffrey's mind worked. I knew the back story to his life.
You have to watch to the very end to get the full story.

I was very put off by the first episode but I gave it another go yesterday and was so drawn in that I binge watched it all. It is bonkers in places but it all comes together in the final episode. There is a cliffhanger so I expect there will be a second series. I am glad that I didn't give up on it and will now look for the books.

Watched the last episode yesterday evening. Very clever the way it all came together at the end. I'm hoping that there will be a second series.

It was very good tbh I didn't find it that gruesome having seen much worse on TV. It was so much more about threat of violence and creating fear. The over the top acting in the first episode was all part of the story. It was a clever plot which kept me guessing and engaged. Roll on a second series.

I enjoyed the twists and turns. I did find the dialogue a bit quickly mumbled in places. I’m going to rewatch the last episode.

Sorry, it wasn't Sarah Vine it was Hannah Flett. Sarah Vine usually writes a review page in the DM television magazine which is included in the Saturday paper. She must have been on holiday that week. I wrongly assumed it was her review. Apologies to Sarah Vine though I doubt she is on GN
