This is very good.
It's based on the true story of a church congregation in the US in the 1970s where 2 married members of the choir start an affair, and the ripples that spread out from that.

I am planning to binge watch it this weekend. It did look good based on the trailer

Thanks for the tip 😃

I’m watching it now, it’s quite addictive

Sparklefizz Fri 15-Sept-23 20:35:58

I've watched all of it now and it's gripping !!!

Sara1954 Fri 15-Sept-23 20:40:11

I think I’m on episode five.

I’m really into this series and the lead female characters are so good I forgot this was from a true event …

DD2 used to watch Mary-Kate and Ashley (Olsen) on TV when she was about 8. Pretty dire in my opinion. I must say the younger sister Elizabeth is a great actress. She herself never got into show biz as a child. I too am enjoying Love and Death immensely.

Just finished it, I really enjoyed it. Quite gripping.

Sara1954 Thu 21-Sept-23 13:15:13

I enjoyed it, didn’t agree with the verdict though

I've seen the first episode, thanks for the recommendation Sparklefizz, I will definitely watch the rest. I notice it's made by David Kelley, who previously was behind Ally McBeal, hence the soundtrack which brought back memories.

I really enjoyed it once I got over the bad wigs. Quality of acting mostly very good especially Elizabeth Olsen in the lead. Very gripping.

The wigs were terrible. I couldn’t quite see the attraction of Alan. But the end frames showed the real life people and the actor did resemble the real Alan.

Sara1954 Thu 21-Sept-23 14:15:27

I can’t imagine risking everything for Alan, but he sort of grew on me a bit x

ItvX is very clunky. It stops playing after about 15 minutes into a programme and I have to go through the whole rigmarole again to resume where it left off. This happens with almost everything I’ve tried watching, and I’m now on my third attempt with Love and Death.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Delila Thu 21-Sept-23 20:58:28

And yes- the wigs are awful!

Sara1954 Thu 21-Sept-23 21:17:17

Delila
Yes, we constantly have that problem, sometimes it comes back after a minute or so, but sometimes you have to start the whole process again.

Delila Thu 21-Sept-23 21:28:45

Thanks Sara, glad it’s not my tv or broadband. It’s very annoying!
