I haven’t finished it yet, Im halfway through episode two. Anyone else watching? It seems a bit predictable so far.

I am just starting Ep2. I am gobsmacked by it, what the heck is going to happen

yggvugg · 05/01/2025 14:01

Im enjoying it but the foreshadowing feels a big heavy handed. The baddy was very easily marked out as a baddy and the goodies as goodies. Im hoping it gets more twisty.

Yes I agree. It was obvious who was going to cause trouble

Read the book. Didn't realise the series was available yet so off to binge!

I have a theory! I'm halfway through Ep2.

Don't want to post any spoilers

I’ve put spoilers in the title so I’d say go ahead. Im on the last episode.

I am wondering if the mix up at the hospital was down to Lucy doing the swapping of tags. Maddie seems to have flashbacks maybe indicating this? I wonder if Miles/Lucy thought their biological son was either going to die or have difficulties, so Lucy did a swap. I'm also thinking something might come out along these lines....
Or I'm just talking rubbish!

TulipTiptoer · 05/01/2025 15:11

I'm also confused as to why Pete and Maddie aren't fighting back more. Why do they have to go to parenting classes and not Miles/Lucy who are digging the dirt the whole time.

They seem quite passive about it all, but I think they don't have the money behind them to do more.

Oh I loved the book and it completely bypassed me that there would be a series. I know what I’m doing later.

TulipTiptoer · 05/01/2025 15:17

Oh my! James's old friend has just told him to fight back, I think they heard me saying this 🤩

yggvugg · 05/01/2025 16:03

Im finished. Easy viewing for a snow day but a bit disappointed with the predictability.

Finished it. Worth a binge even though a bit predictable. Heck I've been lazy today...

Do cannabis gummies feature in the book? I thought that was a bit silly , just hanging around on the kitchen table?

Me!! I couldn't wait

tammy98 · 05/01/2025 17:26

On part 3. Doesn't seem predictable to me. I wish James Norton was my partner. He's so my type ❤

WWY · 05/01/2025 17:58

I have literally just finished it ten minutes ago! I liked it. I won't spoil it but it's definitely not as predictable as you think it is. Well, it wasn't for me anyway.

the80sweregreat · 05/01/2025 18:34

I've finished episode two and I really like it but I wish that someone would punch Mile's lights out ! Absolute tool
I think that Lucy swapped the tags around , but no idea

the80sweregreat · 05/01/2025 18:35

James Norton is nice!

AvaJac · 05/01/2025 18:48

I love James Norton but his character was weak and I could not understand what accent he is doing. James McArdle and Niamh Algar played their parts excellently.

And what did Miles do to his brother David?

I thought the same about James Norton , certain words had a different twang of an accent? I still love him though 💕

the80sweregreat · 05/01/2025 19:19

I thought that James Norton was Irish at first , but I do think he was attempting a Cornish accent ! It sort of wavered
The posh house was lush ! All those big windows and an electric gate
The one playing Theo was lovely , such a good little actor

yggvugg · 05/01/2025 21:03

Makes you wonder how little Theo will turn out given they said he was a psychopath copy of his dad.

Who plays Peters dad? Grey beard , episode two I think ?
I looked up the cast members and he wasn't listed , but his been in lots of things
