Know nothing about this but have found some C5 original dramas quite good!

For anyone who like me is still trying to find something actually worth watching.

MythSpentYouth · 04/02/2021 22:00

lilsquish · 04/02/2021 22:01

@Rarotonga2

Are there any actual drowning scenes so far? I would like to watch this from the drama perspective but I can't watch even a hint of drowning as it is too triggering.
Hi there, just to say please don't watch this. It's been pretty crap anyway but last episode might not be great for you x

We want more of the chainsaw gardeners!
' if you have had problems with your faked ID , give us a call , chainsaws are us we take no shit'

EggysMom · 04/02/2021 22:02

I think the list of implausible plot lines/twists is longer than the actual plot

Hohofortherobbers · 04/02/2021 22:02

And did they just forget to wind up the Ade storyline? Or was that a decision to stop our torture?

MythSpentYouth · 04/02/2021 22:03

The flowers next to the boat 🙄

So J was going to keep Dan in the shed for how long? To prevent a DNA test?

EggysMom · 04/02/2021 22:04

So she bought a fake DBS; worked in a safeguarding environment with no DBS; bought a fake passport; abducted a kid from a positon of trust; tried to take a kid abroad using said fake passport; ... No comeback?

lilsquish · 04/02/2021 22:04

The 'gangsters' were hilarious. especially the immacumately dressed teenage boys sitting around a fire drinking bottles of beer

hahahaha

RigaBalsam · 04/02/2021 22:05

So many holes in that. How silly.

CriticalWoman · 04/02/2021 22:05

The basic story could have made a really good drama, but this wasn't it.

sadpapercourtesan · 04/02/2021 22:05

Well, I'm impressed.

I didn't think it would be able to pull off being worse than Finding Alice. But they smashed it.

the80sweregreat · 04/02/2021 22:06

He could have forced that door open eventually.
Maybe Jodie will buy him a new guitar and throw in a few lessons to help with the trauma! They could write a song about their ordeal.

lilsquish · 04/02/2021 22:06

what was the significance of Jason taking daniel to the clear bit of water? did i miss that bit coz the next scene i remember with daniel was him locked in a shed??

EggysMom · 04/02/2021 22:07

I think Jason had second thoughts about killing Daniel there and then, hence why he shut him in the shed.

I think just until Taniel's Not Dad, on the basis of one dodgy DNA test and zero evidence or indeed any case for the prosecution whatsoever, was sent down for twenty years.

Seems fair enough 🤷‍♀️

the80sweregreat · 04/02/2021 22:08

I wouldn't have have hung about listening to his confession , I would have been out looking for that poor boy! The mark on his face wasn't explained either was it?

Applesandpears23 · 04/02/2021 22:08

Were the flowers for Tom or Jason? Such a weird non ending ending.

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 04/02/2021 22:09

Your much loved nephew drowns so you think, shit my new job won’t like it if we have a tragic accident in the family- I know, I’ll just push him out a bit further. This is why I don’t usually get sucked in to this kind of this ffs

Ade's bullies, including the Evil Mr Big with his wholly convincing East European accent, and his 5 heavily tooled-up henchmen (who looked like the bungling baddies in a Home Alone sequel) were all scared off by one chainsaw - obviously.
