Marcella- Anna Friel has a strange accent and an even stranger top lip

[Finbar]

Just sayin'

I'm glad someone else was weirded by her accent. I didn't see the programme but heard her on the radio last weekend talking about it. Debating her accent took DH and I from Yeovil to Exeter!

Didn't know there was a thread. Started one the other day

I really enjoyed this and can't wait for e2 :)

Agree with PP about Netflix have got it right showing whole series. I'm watching three at the moment, and get them all a bit mixed up in my memory!

Anyone watch ep2 tonight?

Yes and im very confused. How did the sex cam girl steal something off the murderer?

I'm not liking it much. The blackout scenes are too creepy. And I'm completely distracted by that top lip, the right side looked oddly bumpy tonight.

I'm very confused too.

Many of the men look the same to me and I can't work out who they are. How does the gay man fit into it all?

Who the hell edited tonight's episode? Stevie Wonder? When she opened the door to the other policeman the both spoke without moving their lips!

That's because she can't move her lips!

She had a wonky top lip in Brookside, years ago.

I think it's a scar or something......

I will have to watch this again tomorrow......too confusing.

I think I'm going to have to watch both episodes again!!

The gay couple seem to be friends with the step brother. One of the couple was sleeping in his car and pretending he was in a hotel, not sure why.

Very confused about sex cam girl and when she nicked the trophies.

I thought there was an editing mistake when Jason spoke to the step brother on the office after he'd been interviewed by police.

The lip was a wee bit bumpier tonight I think.

Haha.
We thought she may have had a massive cold sore that they tried to cover up.

I spent most of my time hiding behind a cushion . Those 3 guys did look similar, I kept explaining everyone wrongly to dh. . The murderer can't be marcella surely? Although I'm pleased most police officers arent like her, she's scary.

Yes, the blokes all looked too similar, dp kept getting them mixed up (I'd lost interest by then).

I don't think Marcella is the murderer. I think she went into the house of her H new woman and started having a row with her but the murder was already in the house.
He over powered them both and took them both to the woods. Marcella escaped.

I think I know who the murderer is too but I won't say!

Ok I think it may be the rich woman's H.

But I'm probably completely wrong- I usually am!

bakeoff, I was thinking similar. The murderer either was already in the blonde's house, or he came in during their row. I think Marcela did hit her and had the blackout during which the murderer had killed the blonde and have knocked M out so she had those bleeding bruises and then went to the woods with both of them unconscious - and then dropped M home. By the fact he had access to both wome's houses, it could be Marcella's husband! But this would be VERY far-fetched as then he's a double villain - adulterer AND murderer.

I'm more confused re the baker guy - why did he break into that guy's flat? was that one of the gay guys (looks similar to some others argh!) and it was a homophobic attack? or was it attempted burglary? did the guy die or was just knocked out?
The fair gay guy from the couple is creepy too - enjoying talking about that dead woman.

plus the fact that the murderer conveniently happened to be there during Marcella's blackout so that he can possibly then frame her, is also far too unrealistic.

AF is def 39. I grew up in Rochdale, have a mutual friend in common from when we were about 15 and her career was just starting. She was school year older than me, so turning 40 this year is right. I saw her out in town a few times and nearly crashed into her car once (I blame her. I'm a great driver!) but I never spoke to her.

Yes, it could be Marcella's H. I actually thought he in the house last week as M watched him drive up to the house then the blond woman went in afterwards.

So, I was a bit confused when this week he didn't know where she was. Him being the murder and letting M go does make sense. He doesn't want his children to be motherless and he knows she has blackouts so may not remember him being there, so he let her go.

I also found it weird that he didn't want to go and visit his children to tell them about the divorce.

Oh, I like it. Love a good suspend everything drama.

Yes, she saw him (Jason) arrive and then went to the house last week. Very odd.

I thought that she went to the house another time, not when her H and blonde was there - but I can't be absolutely sure. The whole thing is made to be confusing.
There was a very obvious quick scene where her H lewft their house and was putting on big black gloves - similar gloves were seen on the murderer in one of gruesome scene (obv not showing the face) - but I thought that was TOO obvious and maybe just to mislead. But after today's ep it points even more towards her H.

But the fair gay man is still also creepy! and so is the baker - again, why do they trust him to supervise a convict?? is he an ex-police? and still non the wiser why did he get into that guy's house - to kill or to steal ,or to attack him as he's a homophobe?

Yes the time Marcella saw her husband going into Grace's house was different to the time she went there to confront Grace. In between those times we saw Marcella on her computer looking up articles about Grace to find out who she was.

I'm quite confused about the whole thing too but I'm very suspicious about the husband and think he may be the killer. I don't really have a theory as to why or how... I think it's just his black gloves, cold demeanour and indifference towards his children that make me smell a rat. Plus he seemed overly angry with the brother for telling the police about the affair. He looked like he wanted to kill him.
