Nightsleeper BBC...Good or so, so bad?

[RechargeableGnu]

I might be missing its sheer brilliance but I'm definitely in the 'it's so bad ' category.

AIBU?!

I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed seeing Trevor from EastEnders again, haven’t seen him since Little Mo times!

I've seen the first 2 episodes, in the first sequence, the woman with the pram and the bag snatch was so obviously a set up for something else. I found the sound very poor in the first half hour and it wasn't the accents! May torture myself and watch the rest tonight.

I do a bit of work as a film/tv extra and got lots of availability checks for nightsleeper all last summer, said yes to all of them and never got picked! Heard good things from people who worked on it though.

I'm finding it hugely entertaining.

The story's rather ludicrous, but I'd say very enjoyable and fab cast.

@Whyhaveibeencutoutofmamsnot 🤣🤣🤣🤣

watching it again with DH and realised the second time around that the mum who reports her son as missing says they were in C4 (sleeping pod) so I reckon that’s why pp got the age 4 thing from

The main character with her face and haircut reminds me of that woman from Everything But The Girl 🤭 random, I know.

Is it scary?

Someone has started another thread on things so bad they are good and this programme keeps coming up!

It didn't even make the 'it gets good' bit for me 😁

I love Joe Cold so wanted to like this but it was so bad I turned the first episode off half way through. My 13 year old ds enjoyed it though and decided to keep watching it on his own.

I thought it was one of the worst things I have ever watched on the TV.

No. Just maddening. Terrible dialogue.

If Jed Mercurio had written it, it would have been superb.

But he didn't.

We saw the first one last night! I called it: I said the theft was a fake then that the policeman was a baddie. He's a shit actor.

Interesting! Going to watch no 2.

Me too!!

Yes!!

Yes definitely!

YANBU.

I liked it
No endless grunting sex scenes or graphic gratuitous violence.,,(Yep I have finally become my mother)
