Anyone watch last night's opening episode? Enjoyed it, and that scene with Thom standing on the cardboard was so gripping! Hope she doesn't get back with him though.

Yes, we watched it although I can't remember too much about the first series.
Her ex does come across as being controlled by the new girlfriend by all accounts. It will be interesting to see how that relationship evolves, particularly as he had his tongue down Lana Washingtons throat after she had defused the bomb he was standing on.

Any bets on whether the Expo who is getting married in a couple of weeks will get to the altar?

No chance! 😂

A couple of basic mistakes though - turning up with sirens blaring when you’re trying to catch someone unawares - creeping around the car park yet letting a door bang behind you.

I watched it all and to my surprise I quite enjoyed it. It is certainly over the top in terms of how many times Lana is blown through the air and lands with not so much as a grazed knee. I am not sure if it can go on for a third series though as understandably her nerves seem to be shot.

Remind me never to become friends with her!!! 💣

Crikey it gets more gripping every episode poor Tom.

It’s an hour of escapism for us. Not sure it’s restful before bed though!

There is hardly time for a cuppa between bombs needing Lanas attention.

It’s amazing that she’s the only bomb squad officer who gets called surely they have more than one team. I know I know it’s a tv program 😂

She's still not spoken to her mum 🙄

I watched it all in one sitting, all the episodes at once. I won't tell you what happens as it will spoil it for you, I hate these series that goes on for 6 weeks or so one week at a time, so if it is a bad day, wind and rain, I get comfy and binge watch all the episodes at once.

I like something to watch on a Sunday night. Although I did binge the Tourist.

Watch out for tiny firefighters......!!!

Vicky McClure is a wonderful actress but this programme doesn't do her justice.

henetha Mon 05-Feb-24 10:38:04

I'm liking it a lot.

I've given up with this... it's just too ridiculous for words.

My GD and I binge watched this over 2 nights and while credibility was stretched to the limit we enjoyed it.
We worked out that in about 8 hours she put her life on the line 4 times.

Is Lana Washington the only expert bomb defuser they’ve got?

Pittcity Sun 03-Mar-24 22:10:28

What a disappointing ending.
I'd have preferred it if the government had been blown up!
