Did you watch this last night, Channel 5, 9pm?

A bit more realistic than last week’s ’Love Rat’ offering.

Jason Watkins looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights most of the time.

We’ll see what happens tonight.

Enjoyed it and will watch again. Really like Jason Watkins.

Callistemon21 Tue 19-Mar-24 09:54:19

It made me feel really uncomfortable.

I liked it a lot better than Love Rat. Decent acting at least.
And a better script. I'll keep watching.

Lovetopaint037 Tue 19-Mar-24 10:09:43

Enjoyed this. Watched this as I have never seen Jason Watkins in anything I haven’t liked. Looking forward to tonight’s episode.

Jason Watkins was excellent as always. I found it watchable but felt the script could have been better. I will continue to watch though.

I thought it was very good but I really don’t like watching violence. The storyline is straightforward and not as convoluted as many dramas and the diction is clear. I shall certainly watch tonight.

It made us feel uncomfortable too Callistemon so we turned it off after about 20 minutes.

He has really dug himself in a hole now , why didn’t he just say self defence. Don’t like the Dad. He’s very violent and nasty , He’s not going to be happy when he finds out what really happened. , It’s better than Love Rat

I watched it and enjoy isn't the right word for my reaction .
Watching it made me think how careful you have to be when confronting some people .
It's very well acted .

BlueBelle Tue 19-Mar-24 15:34:44

Watched it and looking forward to the next episode

Hope Simon doesn’t end up bumping off the elderly neighbour.

😳

BlueBelle Tue 19-Mar-24 21:31:58

Ummm think that a possibility

Primrose53 Tue 19-Mar-24 22:22:27

At least he came clean to his wife tonight.

Moonwatcher1904 Tue 19-Mar-24 22:35:53

Excellent drama. Great acting by Jason Watkins as usual. That lads father is very scary. It must be a frightening situation to be in.

Love Jason Watkins. Remember him last year in The Catch.
Enjoying it tho I also found the first episode uncomfortable.

BigBertha1 Wed 20-Mar-24 06:45:13

I'm watching because I love Jason Watkins' s acting but not m a bit bored by this story line which we have seen in other dramas. Now his wife is involved she will sort the problem out. Heaven knows how. I shall keep watching.

A mistake to pretend he saw someone running away. Probably other CCTV around, when no one else is spotted…

What a nasty manager he had at work, and what a cruel leaving do, with everyone laughing at him.

No wonder he had a breakdown.

That was horrible wasn’t it? I am wondering if somehow he will get his own back on his Manager ….. maybe through his new “friend”, Paul.

It made me feel really uncomfortable.

I also felt uncomfortable watching and switched off after 30 mins. I can't cope with violence, murder, gangs, drugs etc. not to mention the swearing. I don't know why they can't write about other things, interesting people doing interesting things. I switched over for another episode of Mad Men which is exactly that.

Jaxjacky Wed 20-Mar-24 10:24:33

It just seemed implausible to me, lie after lie, with no need, so after watching episode one, that’s enough.

Kate1949 Wed 20-Mar-24 10:53:52

I agree Jaxjacky. It was daft and disappointing as many Channel 5 series are.

Puzzlelove Wed 20-Mar-24 12:00:50

Finding it a bit slow but will persevere watching it, there’s a twist to the story tonight.

Calendargirl Wed 20-Mar-24 21:14:11

I think you’re right Primrose.

The nasty manager needs to watch his back.

Let’s hope Paul sorts him out.

Deedaa Wed 20-Mar-24 21:41:14

I watched the first part. Jason Watkins was excellent as usual but I'd had enough of all the lies that are obviously going to be found out and I felt I didn't need the tension of waiting for it all to fall apart.
