Watched first one tonight, gripping in a rather strange way. And loved the shots of Stockport!

@SchadenfreudePersonified You've spoiled the ending!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 03/02/2020 09:21

Did I?

I'm sorry - I honestly didn't realise. I thought I'd worded my post in such a way as not to.

I hate people who post spoilers and I truly apologise.

Dennis Pennis! Makes me feel old

I'm on episode 5 and can't wait to get home from work and finish them all!

AcrossthePond55 · 03/02/2020 12:48

Finished! It was really good !

(Wonder if there's a 'spoiler thread' anywhere?)

We watched episodes 1-4 yesterday, going to try and squeeze in 2 tonight and 2 tomorrow we're hooked!

CoolShoeshine · 03/02/2020 16:25

I watched the first four over the weekend, hoping to squeeze in another tonight! I think Harlan Coben had a cameo in episode 2 as a police office sitting in front of a computer. I’ve read all his books and love them but can’t fit the life of me remember how this one plays out! I do like the tv setting in Cheshire but much prefer the small town US feel if the books, this is a bit too like Cold Feet!

SavageBeauty73 · 03/02/2020 20:13

Finished it. Thought it was really good. I've always loved Halen Cohen's books.

Do you think there will be a series 2?

northernstars · 03/02/2020 20:15

Just finished! That was bloody brilliant!

waggydog21 · 03/02/2020 21:27

I think a second series would ruin it tbh. Perfect as it is.

Freeshavocado · 03/02/2020 22:13

Just watched episode 6, toyed with the idea of just carrying on and watching the last two but found my willpower as I'll regret it in the morning, absolutely loving it.

Languishingfemale · 04/02/2020 21:16

Brilliant! Such a good watch.

DartmoorChef · 04/02/2020 21:40

I think we need a thread where those who have watched it all can talk about it.

Im rereading the book again now.

Freeshavocado · 04/02/2020 22:03

Wow just finished it, I guessed quite a few things were going to happen throughout but absolutely couldn't work out the ending, brilliant series.

northernstars · 04/02/2020 22:11

We didn't want to binge but were wary of spoilers. Always a possibility when people are watching at a different pace.

AcrossthePond55 · 04/02/2020 22:13

Beware, Mateys!!! Thar be spoilers ahead........

Forgiven. Smile

I binge watched it and loved it. Although I thought the acting of one or two of the child actors was a bit ropey.

Frostyskies1223 · 09/02/2020 21:22

Loving this, watched 7 episodes in 2 days, saving the last 1!
