The informer - anyone watching?

Anyone?

I couldn't help but binge watch this.

Well written, fantastic acting and gripping story telling.

Excellent.

Excellent. Really didn't see the twist coming either.

Raza actor was superb. In fact a lot of the actors were excellent.

Thanks, MissWimpyDimple from those of us that haven’t seen it all yet No need for reveals like that really.
Saw the first two episodes last night - really enjoyed, lots of great acting.

What reveal, she just said she didn’t see the twist coming

Saying there's a twist is not revealing anything

I've watched it all. Thought it was very good. Preferred it to Killing Eve.

Well it’s revealing that there’s a twist which now means each episode you’re wondering whether “this” is the twist. One is aware that not everything is as it seems. It’s usually considered bad form.

I agree Avon. You end up looking for the twist.

Maybe people should start a thread where spoilers are allowed.

I'm really enjoying this.

The actor who plays Raza is very charismatic.

I don't think you can really compare Killing Eve to anything else that's on now. Although, having said that, the Informer is in part about subverting stereotypes, so there is that.

Just watched this on I player. Really, really enjoyed it. Can't compare to Killing Eve, both good in their own right. Most dramas have a twist, it's revealing nothing.

Oh well if most dramas have a twist that’s ok. Would people have found it annoying to be told there’s a twist in the Crying Game or Sixth Sense? The Others or Ashes To Ashes? I know it would have spoilt my enjoyment to be wondering what the twist was. I didn’t know, and hadn’t read that there was a twist in the Informer until this thread. The fact that, apparently, most dramas have a twist doesn’t that cancel out. Still, I have learnt from this not to go on drama threads on mumsnet

Oh FFS 🤦🏻‍♀️ surely everything has a "twist"?

Jeez.

And you’ve resorted to swearing at me, albeit via acronym, because...? It’s just a TV programme

Loving this - have only watched the first 2 episodes so don't want to read the thread in case there are any spoilers. Will come back when I've watched the rest.

Second episode now on tv.

The main detective looks like an English Rhod Gilbert to me.

I've watched episode one
I'm going to watch it on I player at the weekend

Why doesn't Raza shake the teacher's hand at the beginning of the first episode?

He’s Muslim and some do not touch women as do some men of the Jewish faith

I thought he was pretending to be more religious/strict than he is to get his little brother off the hook.

Amazing show!! Wish I could discuss the end and spoilers I will wait though

I made a thread for anyone who has watched it all and wants to discuss
The Informer - WITH SPOILERS for those who have watched it all on iplayer www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/3401812-the-informer-with-spoilers-for-those-who-have-watched-it-all-on-iplayer

Raza looks a bit like the male model David Gandy!

I was on the edge of my seat when he and the black guy (cannot remember name) were going off to a party (he needed to 'score' off the guy and the guy seemed super suspicious).

Saw this last night for the first time, put off as it has Jessica Raines in it and didnt think too much of main man
but did like Raza very much.
plan to watch further.has a good write up

I watched the whole lot and, as others have said, was hugely impressed with Nabhaan Rizwan (Raza). Particularly as it's his debut role.

I thought the plot was interesting and it touches on some of the difficult areas of policing from both sides.
