Madeleine's husband is in IT.

I think Laura Dern is doing a good job too. Very believable.

I've only watched episode 1, I loved it. NK is wooden, but her stilted style kind of worked when her problems became apparent. (Though I haven't read the book.) Loved Reese Witherspoon! Also I just like the fact that it's very sophisticated/classy and well-written, filmed etc - it's great to watch. So glad I have some appointment TV lined up :)

I got half way through episode one. Don't like the style, jumps about, can't work out what's going on. And I've read the book Blush. The constant flashbacks worked much better in the book.
It was a couple of years ago and I forget the details but was funny and then very dark. NK is playing her character just right I think it will be revealed.

I can recommend Lianne Moriarty's other books, apart from The Last Anniversary which wasn't up to scratch.

Loved the book & enjoyed episode 1 but agree with others that NK doesn't fit as Celeste as she's not beautiful enough & far too stilted.

MakeItStopNeville · 18/03/2017 00:38

I watched the whole thing and didn't even realise I'd read the book until about half the way through. And THEN had to stop myself blabbing to DH what was about to happen.

LouiseBrooks · 18/03/2017 00:59

I watched episode 1 tonight and it was much better than I expected. I read the book when it first came out and have forgotten a lot of detail but totally agree about Witherspoon and Kidman. I'm a bit disappointed they moved the location but am looking forward to episode 2.

I love Liane Moriarty, especially the one about the woman who loses her memory (can't remember the title).

danTDM · 18/03/2017 02:22

I'm on spisode 4. It gets better and better and darker and darker.

This and Billions and The Good Fight. Fantastic.

danTDM · 18/03/2017 02:24

NK gets a lot better. Really!Grin
No spoilers, but she is supposed to be 'off'

iamdivergent · 18/03/2017 07:19

Louise What Alice Forgot

WandaBack · 18/03/2017 10:01

Finished Episode one and it's all coming back to me now. I've now remembered all the twists and I don't think I can bear to watch!

I'm looking forward to The Good Fight danTDM

LouiseBrooks · 18/03/2017 11:09

inadvertent yes, thank you.

ppeatfruit · 18/03/2017 15:39

So is this worth watching, geting 'involved' in? NK annoys me a bit anyway. She effed up Mouiin Rouge for me.

DispatchReady · 18/03/2017 19:21

How have you all watched more than the first episode?

iamdivergent · 18/03/2017 19:42

No Dispatch I've only seen episode 1, UK pace here Grin

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/03/2017 22:45

Really enjoyed and looking forward to e2

After desperate housewives and some other girly series it's nice to have another one

Tho Reece has got so skinny :( her legs are tiny :(

QuinoaKeen · 19/03/2017 01:17

@DispatchReady Up to episode four in Australia.

QuinoaKeen · 19/03/2017 01:21

@ppeatfruit Nicole Kidman is pretty bad (not quite as terrible as she was in Paddington Bear though) and in it a lot.

The other actors are all good though and I think make it worth watching. I loved the book so am probably a bit biased as I want to see the ending.

I'm loving Ziggy. He's adorable and believable for a child actor.

ppeatfruit · 19/03/2017 09:14

Thanks Quinoa I must admit I didn't see Paddington Blush I think I'll give at it a go.

DispatchReady · 19/03/2017 09:20

Thanks was worried I'd missed out GrinI have no idea about what's going to happen or who has even died as I've not read the book so really looking forward to it but wish I could binge watch!

MrsReacher85 · 19/03/2017 09:27

I totally agree about the casting,NK is completely wrong. Who did you picture as the character? I know it's not her, but can't see who it should be, IYKWIM.

ppeatfruit · 19/03/2017 09:33

I read a crit. about it and they say that NK is like a waxwork. Mind you she must be so botoxed, she's more botox than skin!
