The four-part murder mystery, written by Neil Cross (Luther, Spooks) and inspired by his novel Burial, follows a man attempting to escape the (potentially literal) ghosts of his past. Nathan is a well-meaning man who's spent years trying to atone for a terrible secret from his past, involving the disappearance of his wife's sister, Elsie (Simone Ashley).

However, a decade into his new marriage with wife Holly (Amrita Acharia) and Nathan is visited by Bob, a figure from his old life who is somehow connected with Elsie's disappearance.

Bob imparts shocking news to Nathan, resulting in "a series of catastrophic decisions which cleverly drive a tense and compelling narrative of psychological suspense, dread, love and possible redemption."

Looks good :) and like a drama on each night as no binging 😂😂

I wonder if it isn't the first time Bob has "tried to make a ghost".

Anyway I think it's good, very good performances. Just wish they had put all the episodes on ITV Hub from the start.

I've just realised from reading this thread that Bob is played by Bertie Carvel. The whole time I thought it was Paul Kaye.

perhaps NAthan had to bang on boyfriends door
perhaps the sister banged on the boyfriends door looking for Ellise

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/10/2020 07:39

The sisters don’t look that alike

Would ex bf know if ex gf or sister

So Bob is a horrible friend

Making Nathan think he killed Elise when he did abs planned it all

Well I’m hoping something happens otherwise this has been really boring. They could have condensed this into two episodes. Where is the ghost element to this? We’ve only got Bob’s word for it that Elise is haunting him. We haven’t actually seen anything.

Gemma2019 · 29/10/2020 21:33

It's weird as my DH also thinks it has been boring but I've enjoyed every bit of it

Graciebobcat · 29/10/2020 22:01

Aargh, what was that last scene all about then?

Backtoblack1 · 29/10/2020 22:05

Wtf just happened? Confused

Gemma2019 · 29/10/2020 23:01

Now Elise's remains have been laid to rest, her ghost is now free to haunt Nathan

Gemma2019 · 29/10/2020 23:03

Ah it was quite good I suppose. Ending was a bit daft but I enjoyed it

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/10/2020 17:05

Absolute tosh. Standard ITV ‘drama’ fare, which is never worth the time invested in watching it.
Hated the cinematography, turn some bloody lights on.

Gemma2019 · 30/10/2020 19:32

It would have been better if Bob had died and he was in the back of the car, and Elise was on the side of the road as Bob thought her ghost would be, but they did it so they could leave it wide open for Sister 2.

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/10/2020 20:03

I did wonder if Bob would be in the back of the car

I can't even be bothered to watch the final episode. What shite!

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/10/2020 09:00

Obv proves bobs thoery did work

He did create a ghost

It wasn’t great

Bertie C is great. I didn’t recognise him at first as PPs have said. I didn’t recognise him as Robin Day in The Crown either.

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/10/2020 20:09

The voice disguise as well
