I watched the first episode this evening, an enjoyable bit of froth noir with Iain Glen, Emilia Fox and Dawn French playing very against type as a foxy ex wife. Has anyone else seen it?

Darn it, wanted to see that. Will have to iplayer it tomorrow Blush

Loulou2kent · 30/12/2016 23:08

Ohhh I watched it. I really didn't think we'd be seeing it like this. If that makes sense. Looking forward to the next one Smile

calzone · 31/12/2016 08:42

I enjoyed it very much.

Wasn't expecting what happened.

BikeRunSki · 31/12/2016 08:43

What channel was it on?!

Brontebiscuits · 31/12/2016 08:45

Sky 1 Bike. I enjoyed it too, not too taxing but a little bit quirky too. I did find the teenage daughter annoying.

derxa · 31/12/2016 09:02

Yes

msrisotto · 31/12/2016 09:05

Yeah I watched the first episode last night. I wouldn't bother watching the next one if the ending wasn't what it was. That made it more compelling and I liked the look of the next episode.

BikeRunSki · 31/12/2016 16:42

Boo. We don't have Sky. Fingers crossed it makes its way to Amazon at some point.

Moodykat · 31/12/2016 20:25

I watched it and loved it. So nice to see something a bit 'different'.

DodoRevival · 01/01/2017 14:29

Just watched it, definitely different - also enjoyed it. I too wasn't expecting the ending.

lozengeoflove · 01/01/2017 22:19

I really didn't like it. Didn't find any of the characters likeable and all their foibles were just overdone in my opinion.

Will give it another go I suppose but it just feels over-cooked (see what I did there Smile ?)

cheapskatemum · 02/01/2017 19:26

Hi, I watched it with DH & said same as lozenge, none of the characters are likeable, but that won't stop me watching all 4 episodes. Another series set in Cornwall. It's so beautiful, but the locals must be getting fed up of tv crews! The actress playing the doctor/alternative practitioner is playing a similar character to the one she played in that series about the boy with autism. Not well expressed, sorry!

Moodykat · 03/01/2017 20:22

I knew I recognised her! Thank you! I think the characters are purposefully a bit unlikeable at the moment iyswim. I'm hoping we see more and different sides of them as the series goes on!

JustAManWithAnOpinion · 03/01/2017 20:27

BikeRun download kodi onto your firestick if you have one. Can also download onto a smart tv or laptop. My 11yo did his so it can't be difficult (I didn't do mine so can't speak from experience).

NancyDonahue · 07/01/2017 15:40

Is anyone still going with this? I saw episode one but wasn't that impressed. Does it get better? I love Dawn French but found her character really unlikeable.

bbcessex · 07/01/2017 16:13

I thought it was terrible.. like a poor version of Midsomer Murders (which I loved because of the cheese favour Grin).

Who on earth put Dawn in that biker jacket / skirt thing ensemble? Shock .

Completely completely unrealistic on a million levels. Absolute crock of shite (in my expert opinion 😅).

NancyDonahue · 07/01/2017 16:45

Thanks bbc. I don't think I'll bother then!

takesnoprisoners · 07/01/2017 16:57

It was okayish. I don't know if I will watch the second one. That Dawn French sex scene was so terrible!

dementedma · 07/01/2017 17:07

Sorry,but I thought it was awful really disappointed as was looking forward to it.

Moodykat · 07/01/2017 18:35

I actually quite like it.

bbcessex · 08/01/2017 12:49

Nancy with my eloquence, I should definitely be a TV critic!!!

On a more positive note - Endeavour is back on tonight, hurrah!!!!!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 08/01/2017 16:11

I'm really enjoying it! Do we have to like characters? I love stuff with flawed people .

It reminds me of The Life and Loves of She Devil a bit.

Autumnchill · 08/01/2017 16:20

I just like staring at the beautiful food shots 😃

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 08/01/2017 16:26

Me too and the fantastic houses!

Allthebestnamesareused · 08/01/2017 16:35

I think that we are are supposed to swing between lining each of them.

I like it because it isn't just another "cop"drama/"hospital" drama etc but a bit different. Very "SheDevil" now you mention it.

I look forward to seeing how it develops and whether I feel the same.
