The Secret: AIBU

[felineweird]

Disclaimer, not even finished first episode but AIBU to think that the James Nesbitt character is an utter utter utter utter cunt (and I never use that word). I mean where to start? Going on about Christianity then bonking the teacher and saying its God's will? The endless horrific hypocrisy, gaslighting...omg he is now suggesting they get their spouses to kill themselves?! Wtaf!

…and he turns into even more of a twat as the episodes go on 🙃 my ex is like that - he had an affair because in the bible the person he is named after ended up marrying the name of the person he had an affair with… so it was ‘Gods Will’ for them to be together… both as batshit as each other though so good riddance for me! 😂

Haven't seen the show, it just amused me that the OP has a cat related name, and the next poster a dog one

Lol pp! Omg he has now murdered his wife 🤦‍♀️ I'm sure the man upstairs will endorse that one. He seems genuinely insane

Yes but is it any good ?

And to think it actually happened and is based on a true story…

The first half of the first episode is boring AF but it gets more interesting. Only at tge beginning of episode 2 now

It's based on a true story?! Fuck me how awful that people are as much as an arsehole as those 2

‘Hazel’
so creepy when he says that
must admit I didn’t realise how good an actor Nesbitt is - he’s chilling

@Pickanameforme yes it is good, the scenery and filming is good too, quite a few years since I saw it but has stuck with me, wouldn’t mind watching it again

Loved the show, the whole thing (the true story) is absolutely shocking.

Google Colin Howell!

@felineweird yep! Google it, it was a big story back in the days when it happened because it went undetected for so long. Feel so sorry for the spouses, they died for nothing. He seriously has issues, they should have locked him in a psych ward and thrown away the key! X

Nesbitt is really really good at creepy.

Thanks TwoMonthsOff. I remember the case. I'll be watching it

Its a shocking story and I think the most shocking is that it was believed they both poisoned themselves together especially when it was known that the two were having an affair and suddenly both their partners die at the same time! Unbelievable!

Dh and I just started this last night - I fell asleep halfway through the third episode. James Nesbitt is really disturbing, when his next wife is sat next to him with their new baby and discloses his secret my heart skipped a beat 😳
I will catch up on the episode in a minute and then we can watch the last one later. Chilling.
