Absolute rubbish but strangely I needed to see it through to the end.

Richard Armitage does things to a cushion that no one should do 😳

It’s a bit odd…and I say that as a diehard Richard Armitage fan.

I think it’s worth a watch, but don’t expect it to be sexy.

pumpkintits · 22/04/2023 20:14

Also there is a thread about it on Telly Addicts section of mumsnet, if you watch make sure you read the thread at the same time. Great entertainment!

Reminded me of my friend’s cockapoo.

It’s absolute shite, watch it if you want to laugh at how bad it is - I did!

Longingforthesummer · 22/04/2023 20:16

It's this or The Diplomat or Ginny and Georgia

The Diplomat is much better than obsession.

Horsedoglover59 · 22/04/2023 20:40

I thought Obsession was dreadful, and I'm a die hard Richard Armitage fan too. Main character totally unsympathetic and selfish, not much chemistry with other lead character. If you enjoy people being involved in having sex in very uncomfortable situations, this is for you. I watched all the episodes hoping it would get better, but it didn't. The best thing about it was I don't think any episode lasted for longer than 40 mins.Very disappointed.

The Diplomat - I've only watched four episodes so far but really enjoying it, I like the way the dialogue is written.

Ginny & Georgia - I'm probably not the target audience but I quite liked it.

Obsession - it was fairly bad (apart from the lovely houses), yet somehow I kept watching.

PollyCreo · 22/04/2023 21:00

I loved Ginny and Georgia although the teen angst got tiresome and times. The last episode was awesome though!

PollyCreo · 22/04/2023 21:01

*at times

watch nobody instead

likeafireworkshow · 24/04/2023 22:02

We've just finished this.... honestly watch literally anything else. Awful Confused

OlivePinkSky · 24/04/2023 22:20

Forget that - I gave up after the 2nd episode ! However, dead ringers with Rachel Weiss (sp?) Is bloody terrific !

Ffswhatsthepoint · 24/04/2023 22:23

Watched the 1st episode. I'm not wasting any more of my life on this.

BrandNewBicep · 24/04/2023 22:27

Just finished this, not 10 minutes ago. It is entertaining, in a very uncomfortable way. It isn't as good as the original film, and yes, the cushion scene was difficult to watch, god knows how Richard felt!!!

EmmiJay · 24/04/2023 22:35

I liked it. Kinky bits had me breaking out the note pad😆 Strangely if you watched it backwards, it might just be a bit more entertaining.

Ha ha! So true!

BlackForestCake · 24/04/2023 22:59

I assumed this was about the Calvin Klein perfume and thought “well, don't they have testers in department stores any more?”

Sgtmajormummy · 24/04/2023 23:15

I have a huge fascination with Richard Armitage but the clips on Gogglebox made him look like a randy old dog spinning around and humping the bed pillows.
I hope he got well paid!

Hah me too. I was going to say it's very musky and aromatic so definitely try before you buyBlush

Hawkins003 · 24/04/2023 23:17

Although with the cushions, I do believe women got their first

DumpedByText · 24/04/2023 23:21

Sex/Life is..... err rather saucy, but very watchable!
