I've watched the Pilot today and it's good.

Is it far fetched? I'm not sure. Suspect there are people out there who go to immense lengths to stalk and seek out a new love interest.

Binge watched this today! Some plot points were a bit far-fetched but loved the ending and John Stamos Smile

dogzdinner · 29/12/2018 19:56

Is it worth watching to the end? I've only watched the first episode so far. Finding his voice over a bit annoying (reminds me of a cartoon) and masturbating with a cushion Hmm

TheEagle · 29/12/2018 20:02

I enjoyed it; it was silly but I thought it was entertaining and I wanted to see where the plot would go.

TheEagle · 29/12/2018 20:02

There’s a lot more voice over though, just to warn you!

Skyejuly · 29/12/2018 21:22

I'm 50/50 on this. I am continuing to watch but it annoys me in places. I don't like beck at allm

WhereHaveTheyGone12 · 29/12/2018 23:24

I’ve just finished this now. I too struggled with Beck and found myself liking Joe throughout.

Good series - easy to watch.

UnsungHero · 29/12/2018 23:31

Loving it so far

MrsChollySawcutt · 29/12/2018 23:32

Have watched the first 3 episodes but kind of know the story as I've read the book You and the sequel Hidden Bodies.

So far it's pretty good, but so much of the book is Joe's internal monologue that its losing a lot of his thoughts. This is making him seem like a more sympathetic character more of the time because although there were definitely points as which you were on Joe's side in the book, they petered out pretty fast once his true nature showed itself.

TheEagle · 30/12/2018 08:09

@mrschollysawcutt, are the books worth reading? I’d like to read the sequel!

Aridane · 30/12/2018 16:49

The book is very good!

Aridane · 30/12/2018 16:50

(had no idea there was a sequel to the book)

GerryblewuptheER · 30/12/2018 16:52

I've been watching this.

It's quite cleverly done. You do end up almost seeing his points then reminding yourself he's a creepy stalker. And the rest....

CourtneyLoveIsMySpiritAnimall · 30/12/2018 17:00

I've watched it and I've read the book but forgotten most of it.

Can someone tell me if the ending of the series is the same as the book? For the life of me, I can't remember the ex (Candice?) from the book at all.

alansleftfoot · 30/12/2018 17:22

Watched Bird Box last night, really good

olderthanyouthink · 30/12/2018 19:19

Am I the only person who is reminded of 50 Shades watching this?

We binged the whole lot over a few days.

I didn't know it was a book though, might read it when I'm less brain dead (newborn baby here)

firstbrightday · 30/12/2018 19:53

I jut finished this in two days. I thought it was amazing but I am so frustrated by the ending. I'm going to see if I can read the sequel as I hate waiting for things! I think it's been renewed for season two though.

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 30/12/2018 20:49

I've just started this and like it! He's likeable despite his creepy behaviour. She isn't likeable IMO and she's the victim. Watching ep 4 later :-)

covetingthepreciousthings · 30/12/2018 20:55

Totally agree that Joe is likeable whereas Beck just isn't despite her being the victim.. I'm only on episode 5 though so maybe my opinion will change.

Ordered the book in at the local library, looking forward to reading it once we've binged this.

mmmgoats · 30/12/2018 20:58

YY to Joe being likeable. reminded me a bit of the book The Collector by John Fowles, very similar vein.

In fact none of the characters are particularly likeable except Joe and the young boy.

CrispbuttyNo1 · 30/12/2018 21:53

Just started watching and it’s growing on me slowly. Glad I’m not the only one who finds it very Dexter-esque.

ColdCrumpetsandButter · 31/12/2018 01:03

FINISHED!

TheTruthBeTold · 31/12/2018 01:08

Is anyone getting slight 'Gone Girl' vibes from this so far?

HowOftenDoYouClean · 31/12/2018 02:44

Just finished it, i feel it lost its way in the middle, maybe because i binged it, i still enjoyed it though

RabbitseatDogs · 31/12/2018 03:12

I havn't read the thread incase of spoilers but I've just binge watched to the end of episode 6. Really enjoying it - It's a bit Twin Peakish/Dexter/the one with a load of spoilt, rich girls?

covetingthepreciousthings · 31/12/2018 07:29

We probably need another thread for spoilers Wink
