Connie Nielsen plays jo Harding

A woman who seems to have it all - big house -wonderful kids -doting husband - Rob , played by Christopher eccleston

But

Following a fall, an entire year is wiped from her memory and jo relieses that her perfect life may not be perfect and all that it seems

Worse still someone is keeping a terrible secret from her

Looks good and right up my street - wondering if hubby is having an affair or even if jo is playing around

The woman with the scythe is at 06:31 and she's also carrying a shopping bag. It could be Jo but it's really hard to tell.

SaltedCaramelIcedLatte · 12/11/2021 13:14

I think Jo is very irritating and whiney...not very likeable at all!

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/11/2021 14:46

More I zoom. More it /she blurs

I've just watched episode one and really enjoyed it. I'm interested to find out what's really been going on.

For those who say the plot seems familiar, have you seen or read Before I go to Sleep? Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth were in the film and this reminded me of that.

Italiangreyhound · 14/11/2021 01:18

It's starting to get better but it's frustratingly slow still!

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/11/2021 10:05

Hubby def dodgy. Making her eat meat

So son is gay and she wasn’t impressed with that and seeing her best friends older son and why they fell out

New work colleague - not nice. Was she there that night ?

Is she having an affair with ex boss and why she stopped going to work ?

Still want to know what is on the phone? Why did hubby Chuck it

Plus if lost phone. Wouldn’t you cancel that sim and get same number on new phone

Such bad acting ! The Guardian gave a good review so we started watching - three episodes in now and the only interesting thing in each happens in the last five minutes! Boring! But somehow compelled to watch the frustrating nonsense now

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/11/2021 11:07

I went to know ending so will watch weekly

It's entertaining me though as usual, v implausible. Everyone is lying to her or hiding things. Why didn't they tell her what she'd missed rather than wait for her to get confused and find out? The son was angry she couldn't remember, but none have been helpful. I think she must have been quite a nasty person or done something awful for her loved ones to be acting like this.

Monolithique · 19/11/2021 12:30

I've finished this and have to say I really enjoyed it.

Much better than Angela Black imo.

charliebear78 · 19/11/2021 13:49

I've watched three episodes(but really hate the adverts!)
I think jo is beautiful.
But what was with those pink socks!(ep 3...not a spoiler lol)

purpleme12 · 20/11/2021 00:11

This is so wierd

purpleme12 · 20/11/2021 00:12

Ps the thread with spoilers in is on page two of the telly addicts section (for the people who've watched it all)

CrazyTimesAreOccurring · 20/11/2021 20:18

CE in this looks like he could play Charlie Cooper's dad in This Country

RockingMyFiftiesNot · 21/11/2021 09:07

@Aquarius1234

I thought the acting was bad.
We even thought Christopher Eccleston seemed a bit wooden.

Good story so far, but unnecessarily slow, painfully laboured.

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/11/2021 21:48

I’m at work - plus with showtrail and IACGMOOH on I shall watch tomorrow

Such a wierd programme

Blondeshavemorefun · 22/11/2021 16:35

Hmmmm. So she is shagging daughter bf

He is a slime ball

Still unsure of hubby

And dog lady made a quick escape qbs didn’t want to talk to her

It’s filmed locally to us

Dh adamant that she can’t get into the beach essily from lighthouse - like a 3m walk top of cliff to go down some steps 😂

Sad to say it is pretty obvious to me (and has been all along) who the perpetrator is.

purpleme12 · 22/11/2021 17:00

Mmm interesting

Blondeshavemorefun · 22/11/2021 17:02

Who @sunshinesupermum

Hubby

Blondehavemorefun My guess is yes. Wouldn't trust him at all and haven't since the beginning.

swimdrum · 23/11/2021 10:07

Does Rob know about Jo sleeping with Thomas?

Rob's reaction to Jo saying that she thinks someone was in the house when she fell was really odd. Instead of giving her time and space to think and try to remember accurately he bundled her into the car to go straight to the police. It was like he was deliberately trying to rush, confuse and frighten her. Was he trying to make her stop trying to remember what happened because there are things he does not want her to remember?

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/11/2021 11:03

I think he knows was seeing someone

Hence he was trying to get into her phone

Then chucked it

Why didn’t he give it back to her

Abs why didn’t he know her code

Dh and I know each other’s phone code
