Yes just watched it loved it!

SuperbLyrebird · 10/09/2021 22:03

What did you love about it?

notacooldad · 10/09/2021 22:04

I thought it was bloody awful!

Genderwitched · 11/09/2021 00:51

Awful, it was trying to be Inside no.9 and failed dismally.

Mosaic123 · 11/09/2021 01:10

I liked the musical bits but not so crazy about the rest of it. The acting was good though.

the80sweregreat · 11/09/2021 07:50

Absolute shite and I love Gregg Davies ( usually )
It's a German format originally. Can see why ..

Sittinginthesand · 11/09/2021 07:57

I couldn’t fathom why H BC wanted to be in it, she’s such a good actor and this was ropey. Is it going to be a different cast each week except Gregg (who I normally love but wasn’t very convincing in this)? it felt like it was all too rushed, we need time to get to know characters. It wasn’t on the same level as the fabulous Cuckoo but we may watch one more ep - I think we each did a couple of microchuckles .

Wanted to love it but had to switch off when they started singing 🙄

the80sweregreat · 11/09/2021 08:43

The singing was even worse than when Jane McDonald breaks into song at the end of her very expensive cruise!
Why couldn't HBC change her top ? It was making me feel ill seeing the 'blood ' on it !
She did , eventually, but it wasn't for ages.

On planner Haven’t seen yet or read replies

DobbyTheHouseElk · 11/09/2021 13:24

I had high hopes. What was the singing section all about?

@DobbyTheHouseElk

It reminded me a bit of ' car share' when they had a singing / dancing bit Only not as good.
PheasantsNest · 11/09/2021 17:15

It wasn't great. I don't rate HBC as an actress either.

lorca · 11/09/2021 18:47

I thought it had ups and downs - great cast.

Plot holes though! He's a 'crime scene cleaner' - who starts with cleaning the floor???

There is no Police presence on the door - Mrs Indian Pie turns up and just walks straight in.

Then prime suspect turns up and walks straight in - JUST WON'T HAPPEN!

Toilet humour - not for me.

But I might still watch next week, see if it gets any better.

MeredithGreyishblue · 11/09/2021 18:50

It had a feel of Nighty Night about it. Its not "funny" as such but I didn't turn it over either! I can't make my mind up.

I find HBC utterly fascinating. I could stare at her all day. Blush

the80sweregreat · 11/09/2021 19:08

It was a bit like Nighty night , but not as abrasive.
I also find HBC fascinating: she has such unusual features, almost doll like and amazing hair. She is just so different to any other actress around and clearly a bit bonkers too I would imagine. She is brilliant as Bellatrix in Harry Potter

CaptainHammer · 11/09/2021 19:30

I’ve watched the first 3 so far. I was on the fence with episode 1 but really enjoyed 2 and 3

Jellykat · 11/09/2021 19:39

I enjoyed it, mainly because i think HBC is fab!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 11/09/2021 19:43

oh i quite enjoyed it,
enough to want to see the next episode

She's definitely bonkers. I don't think I've seen her in anything not by Tim Burton. I bet she's fun, and I agree that she's doll like. How old is she?
Sonarl · 12/09/2021 00:21

I binge watched the whole serious last night, I thought it was great. They get funnier, and more poignant.

AaalrightyThen · 12/09/2021 00:43

Watched because of Helena but switched off at the toilet scene - absolutely no need. Didn't think it was great up until that point, but that made my mind up for me.

Mooserp · 12/09/2021 19:55

I've watched them all and really liked it (1st episode probably least enjoyed).

Love Greg Davies.

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/09/2021 20:53

Seen 1. It was ok. Easy watching

He didn’t make his curry

But yes no police in guard

LadyEloise1 · 17/09/2021 03:09

I watched fifteen minutes of the first episode and then deleted it. I thought it was awful.
