That was fantastic! Very clever.

User1029384746 · 06/12/2016 21:59

That was a very clever ending, I didn't guess that at all!

Badgerbird · 06/12/2016 21:59

Aaaah what a weepy! Good though!

EverySongbirdSays · 06/12/2016 21:59

Well that was lovely. I'll certainly be watching it again.

The babies, one of theirs died, so they adopted the baby from the fire station - so the three main characters are siblings and share a birthday with their Dad.

PonderLand · 06/12/2016 22:00

I'll try catch the last bit on +1. It was much better than I expected, lots of likeable characters so far and all good storylines.

musicinspring1 · 06/12/2016 22:00

Ahhhh I got it. Yes, very clever! Hope there are lots of flashback scenes... did I mention I like Milo?!? Grin

HesterLee · 06/12/2016 22:00

I enjoyed that. Just working through in my head how people are connected.
Looks like there are 18 episodes to this first series.

PonderLand · 06/12/2016 22:01

Ah I thought one was black but put it down to bad lighting

grendel · 06/12/2016 22:01

Oh that was great! Didn't see that last twist coming at all. Really looking forward to next week now.

Theyhaveallbeenused2 · 06/12/2016 22:01

Really enjoyed that! Can't wait till next week....how far ahead are the US?

EverySongbirdSays · 06/12/2016 22:03

They are about 8 weeks ahead Sad

All I hear every week is rave reviews

Which is why I'm worried that this thread will somehow get spoiled

Graphista · 06/12/2016 22:04

I knew what was going on as I'm impatient and looked it up on wiki but I didn't feel that spoiled it for me.

Love milo, I am a GG fan but first saw him in heroes and seen him in other stuff since.

I also saw the actor playing Kevin in revenge (thank goodness for IMDb).

It's looking like shaping up to be a good interesting series.

HesterLee · 06/12/2016 22:06

First sign of spoilers and I'm off :)

Ponderland - yes one of the babies was left at a fire station so the couple who gave birth to the triplets appear to have adopted him following one of their babies being stillborn.
The same seems to have happened years ago with the three main characters.

nottinghamgal · 06/12/2016 22:07

Last episode in USA tonight for a few weeks so time to catch up.

I won't spoil except to say it's all very good and all set in different times.

I'm happy to have people to chat to about it

ALemonyPea · 06/12/2016 22:10

I really enjoyed it.tears at the end and lived the twist. Didn't expect it to be a flashback. Loving the cast as well.

HesterLee · 06/12/2016 22:19

Ohhh! Lightbulb moment! So it's not the same thing happening again?
Right - need to watch it again :)

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 06/12/2016 22:23

Loved the first episode. The twist is very clever.

Belindabelle · 06/12/2016 22:25

It was when they started smoking in the hospital that I got it.

NormHonal · 06/12/2016 22:26

So good!

I've read ahead, knew what was going to happen, and still loved it.

Gingergin · 06/12/2016 22:27

Me too about the smoking, it all started falling into place then! Good twist, I enjoyed it and love Milo too, funny seeing Jess grown up and mature with a sexy 70s beard

BakeOffBiscuits · 06/12/2016 22:45

Oh I really enjoyed that!

The twist was amazing and had me in tears. Can't wait for next week.

IhatchedaSnorlax · 06/12/2016 23:06

I really enjoyed that too - great twist at the end.

RooDaisy · 06/12/2016 23:15

I really enjoyed this tonight. I didn't get that it was Milo from heroes though. And did anyone notice Randall's Dad is the snitch from the wire, can't remember his name in that

OreoHeaven · 06/12/2016 23:36

RooDaisy think you mean Bubbles?

I thought tonight's ep was brilliant. Can't wait for the next one.

Reckon that as soon as the latest episode I the UK airs then it's fair game to discuss?

HesterLee · 06/12/2016 23:46

I clocked all the smoking around the babies and couldn't work out why!
Very clever idea.
