I saw the first episode and thought it was a silly plot.

I agree that it was a bit implausible but it was watchable. Both lead actors were very good but I found Robson Green so creepy that I had a rather disturbed night. I’m not sure I’m ever going to be able to watch him in anything else again without getting the shivers!
Possibly the ending was left open for another series.

I enjoyed it and, like Doodledog, I found it a little bit scary. I live on my own and it's the first time I've been scared for a long time. Couldn't wait to get into bed and pull the covers over me!

It was ridiculous, but really creepy. My husband wasn’t watching and I caught the last episode on catchup on my own. When he went to bed I asked him to leave the light on in the hall grin.

Oh goody, I'm not the only one that liked it. Cheers grin

I thought it was really good.

The ending could be left to the interpretation of the viewer.

Great acting all round.

Well I liked it. smile

Yep me too - must be easily pleased! grin

I enjoyed watching it, but it was pretty implausible! Robson Green is very good though.

A typical Channel 5 drama.
We’ll all be taking the p**s out of it before long. 😂

I am already😁

We lost interest in the second episode, good actors but terrible implausible plot and script.

Well it’s ending before I knew itwas on 🤣🤣🤣
I ll wait to see if it’s worth bothering about

Oh, I hope there isn’t a follow up - I don’t think I could take any more! All very silly really….

Well, it ended up another strange Channel 5 offering.

So he killed the neighbour, drowned in the bath, just so he could buy his house and move near Huw?

And apart from Jenny, all Huw’s old colleagues found him very odd.

Plus the pretty daughter who seemed to have ostracised him also after his failed case.

Did he die? Yes, I think so.

(No chance of a follow up, thankfully then!)

Oo er!

LucyAnna5 Thu 15-May-25 21:13:22

Last episode tonight - it might end with a damp squib, but I think it’s been interesting so far…..

henetha Tue 13-May-25 23:25:01

I think it's better than the average.
Both actors are very good in it.

Yes, I'll give it another go tonight. Hope there are some good twists ahead.

Astitchintime Tue 13-May-25 16:23:21

We watched the first episode on Monday evening - because there was nothing else on that appealed and the cast looked good.
Will give it another go tonight although it is looking a bit predictable.

Channel 5, 9pm, four nights, started last night.

Starring Jason Watkins and Robson Green, both very watchable actors.

Early days, hope it doesn’t morph into the usual Channel 5 overwrought drama, Jill Halfpenny appears to be missing from this one though!

It had shades of another Jason Watkins role, when he accidentally killed a nasty neighbour.

We’ll see how this one pans out.
