I haven't seen either and wondered which one you think is better?

Thanks Smile

Have started both

Fair to middling on both.

ladyflower23 · 15/04/2019 22:16

I'm preferring The Victim

KnifeAngel · 15/04/2019 22:21

Neither are great.

MrsChollySawcutt · 15/04/2019 22:27

Haven't started The Victim yet but I wouldn't bother with The Widow - it is just s o s l o w and dull. Not sure I will bother past episode 2, don't really care if she finds her husband or not.

TheRealKimmySchmidt63 · 16/04/2019 00:09

The victim

fblake · 16/04/2019 16:34

Thanks all 😊 I'll probably start with the victim then watch the Widow. Still got a whole 2 seasons of GOT to get through though!

Preferred the victim.

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/04/2019 17:12

Victim crap ending imo

Widow still on. Think another 4 episodes

Enjoying so far. Better have w good ending

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 17/04/2019 17:13

Haven’t watched the victim yet, but I’m giving up on the widow.

jmh740 · 17/04/2019 17:24

Just watched the first 20 mins of the widow and now given up and downloading the victim due to this thread.

fblake · 17/04/2019 18:00

Oh no crap ending, that really annoys me. Did anyone else think that the ending of Bodyguard was a bit pants?

The Victim.
After 3 eps of the widow, it's still crap.

IHaveBrilloHair · 17/04/2019 18:03

I liked the ending of The Victim, it made sense.
I won't say more on this thread as spoilers.

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/04/2019 20:36

Yes agree bodyguard crap ending

CSIblonde · 19/04/2019 00:38

The Victim. The male central character & the mother's grief & anger was really well done. The Widow was boring beyond belief.

temperancefugit · 20/04/2019 14:12

I was very moved by the ending of The Victim. Short, sharp, took my breath away. Still think about it.
Watched the first four episodes of The Widow on catch up last night. Not riveting stuff but do want to find out what her husband has been up to. Loving the Icelandic actor from the Trapped series. Love his accent. He has inspired me to learn a bit of Icelandic - waiting for it to be added on Duolingo!!

fblake · 20/04/2019 14:38

@temperancefugit oohhh I've not heard of Trapped 😊 will check it out. Thanks!

Only watched one ep of the victim but it has already gripped me a lot more than 2 episodes of the widow which I thought was boring and slow.

temperancefugit · 20/04/2019 20:12

You’re in for a treat then fblake. Two series. Scandi noir at its best.
