NotQuitePerfect

Yy! David Walliams doing Lou, of Lou and Andy?? It's uncanny

Too drawn out. Tedious. Broadchurch more credible

Thanks mrsjay.

Had no idea it was on tonight, phew!

Better set tonight's to record whilst I catch up.

The PO is very creepy, don't like him. His wife suspects him too. I think there is more than one killer though.

It's the video store bloke. Bet ya.

Filmed in my home town too (one scene was at the end of my road so am having fun location-spotting!). Having said that, I've not warmed to any of the characters, they are all so shifty & unpleasant and I'm not having it that the teenagers are meant to be 14 (more like 24!).

I like the fact that everyone suspects everyone else, and that each individual is under scrutiny for their behaviour, demeanour, past...so everyone is guessing which 'traits' could make you an identifiable murder.
Apparently the writers were inspired by a horrible Crimewatch report which asked people to come forward if they knew of anyone locally who could have committed a 'heinous, evil crime' and they had multiple phonecalls naming different people within a small community. That's why it is not all from the police angle (like these things usually would be for these dramas - I wonder if that's why the police seem feckless, just because we aren't seeing much of them?)
Anyway - quite enjoying it, hoping for a creepy ending

murderer

I think the thing in the loft is a red herring put there by the teddy stealing Seth. He's tall, wouldn't have needed the ladder.

I was wondering about video guy. He's quite power crazed isn't he

It's all a bit odd. If your daughter went missing would you send the other one to school and then let her walk home through the woods with your weird NDN?

at the video guy!

I agree zukie. That is odd - she was out at all hours and they had no idea where. That's not realistic at all but maybe just a dramatic device and the writers are conveniently overlooking that issue.

Perhaps she's run away because she's sick of living in town of weirdos!

Very odd people. The female po on maternity leave seems quite dim re husband's shirt. Actually a bit dim all round and i used to think sophie okonedo was a brilliant actress but this is a tad unbelievable.The missing girl's twin sister seems unperturbed by her siblings disappearance and she seems to dye her hair from one day to the next- black sunday, dark brown monday ( when on the roof drinking) and back to black tonight- vair strange i mean if your twin sis was missing i don't think you'd be dyeing your hair. Did the twin do it? Aidan Gillen's character unbelievable too. Perhaps Lesley Manville's character did it?

God it's getting weirder. Why am I bloody still watching this.

They all did it. And I couldn't give a shit. The end.

You know what's especially irritating, is the inexplicable odd behaviour.

Why the heck is Sophia what's it's character so insistant that her daughter didn't see Hattie and the go cry in the loo?

Also what did I miss about ndn?

I reckon the female PO did it

She is behaving in a most peculiar fashion.

They're all behaving perculiar! Irriatingly so.

Don't know why I'm watching, but the chances are I'll see it through.

am wondering if the final outcome is going to be a bit of a let down in the end. all this scene setting and mysterious behaviour is reminiscent of 'lost' and what a let down the end of that was!

Oh yes especially the whispering in the woods is lost.

I've started so I'll finish. Why do I do this to myself!?

Oh it's just getting weirder. I am vair confused. Especially the whispering woods. And the little girl is clearly running away with her hamster now.

My dh said it's like Midsomer Murders on speed.
