Excellent performances from Robbie Coltrane, Julie Walters & Tim McInnerny.

I really enjoyed it. Was interesting how they built on his private persona until actually he was quite a twat, and the wife was accepting of it. I was thinking the twist would be that he was actually guilty, but now I think that's the twist. Very well played by Robbie Coltrane.

kennypppppppp · 21/09/2016 23:07

It was bloody brilliant. Quite eurgh in a good way. Loved the cameos at the beginning. Can't wait until next week. What with that and real housewives of Cheshire I'm in quite a good mood!

Enjoyed it too. And it's only four episodes, so hopefully won't be padded out with useless chuff. I hate it when they include extra story lines that are naff.

yorkshapudding · 23/09/2016 16:46

Only just caught up with this. I really liked it.

I found the scene with his Daughter really interesting. All that stuff about her dream, I felt really tense the whole time she was describing it. I kept waiting for her to reveal that he'd abused her as a child but maybe that's too obvious.

timeforabrewnow · 23/09/2016 20:39

Agreed - really top notch acting from all. Fascinating to watch and try to figure out why Robbie Coltrane is such a good actor and so believable.

Clawdy · 24/09/2016 22:46

Robbie C excellent as always, and the beginning was so good, but then I realized I just didn't warm to any of the characters. The daughter scene just didn't ring true, and Julie W's accent did not sound right. It didn't work for me, such a disappointment.

LadyConstanceDeCoverlet · 25/09/2016 19:10

Brilliant acting and writing. I don't think we're really meant to warm to any of them, at least at this stage - that's the whole point.

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 26/09/2016 15:52

British TV drama at its very finest. I love that it's not at all black or white.

neonrainbow · 26/09/2016 16:07

I liked it and can't wait to see what's going to happen next. You start off thinking someone so popular couldn't be a dick them find out more about him and realise his wife can't have an easy time putting up with it all.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 26/09/2016 22:01

I thought it was great. The scene with the daughter was really good but made me feel so uncomfortable.

Saw Tim McInnerny in a play years ago and he was amazing. I thought all the acting was fantastic.

Really looking to next week.

RosieWithTheGoodCreditHistory · 27/09/2016 21:24

Anyone watching tonight?

SoleBizzz · 27/09/2016 21:25

I am watching

Helpisathand13 · 27/09/2016 21:26

I've got it set on series record. I wasn't sure id like it so recorded to try and thought it was very good. I agree Julie Walters accent dodgy and daughter dream scene uncomfortable.

RosieWithTheGoodCreditHistory · 27/09/2016 21:30

Tonight more uncomfortable for me, so far. In a compelling way but can see some not liking it

SoleBizzz · 27/09/2016 21:33

I think tonight's episode is much bette

gingina · 27/09/2016 21:48

It's good but I wish they'd turn the bloody lights on!!
All that moody green lighting is a bit much!!!

Lottapianos · 27/09/2016 21:51

Julie Walters was just wonderful in that scene with Dee. Feeling so sorry for Dee, it seems like she's always been expected to be a 'good girl' and make other people happy. The birthday song and his speech were horrendous, so inappropriate. Not surprised she ran off

RosieWithTheGoodCreditHistory · 27/09/2016 21:54

I watch 'night time' tv by candlelight and fairy light so I love a good dark programme, ging. Although I have realised I need to buy a new TV. It's like watching on the laptop but not as far away

RosieWithTheGoodCreditHistory · 27/09/2016 21:54

I do wish they'd get a new bloody doorbell

RosieWithTheGoodCreditHistory · 27/09/2016 22:01

Oh my god

gingina · 27/09/2016 22:04

What happened at the very end when Dee was inside the car?
DS came into the room and I missed it

RosieWithTheGoodCreditHistory · 27/09/2016 22:04

I can't be the only person still watching/this emotionally invested already, surely?!

Someone come talk to me about it, please!!

She wrote "I choose to believe" on the newspaper article in lipstick and then just drove herself right in....

I keep changing mind about him.
