Did anyone watch this (Olivia Coleman)? What did you think?

Wasn't very keen- very surprised as I love a true crime based drama and OC but it was a bit 'arty' for me

Just settling into it. Will report back.

trickytrudy · 07/12/2021 21:23

I can't even remember it in the news 😳

A wacky interpretation for an even wackier story (aside from the murders)

MuguetRose · 07/12/2021 23:49

I'd love to watch it but don't have the channel. I saw another programme about the case

GrimDamnFanjo · 08/12/2021 00:09

It's very cleverly filmed. I quite enjoyed it.

Clawdy · 08/12/2021 08:03

Well acted,very different, got a bit tired of all the swearing from the police! Not sure how it will stretch to four episodes.

I'm definitely going to look into the case more though as it was really interesting

On planner. Try and watch Tom

Mydogisagentleman · 08/12/2021 15:08

We saw and loved the first episode.
OC being OC as usual

TheChosenTwo · 08/12/2021 22:27

I have recorded this (forgot it was on last night), I think I’ll wait until all
episodes are available to watch before I start.
I have no idea who OC is, never seen her in anything before (don’t watch a lot of telly!)…

TheChosenTwo · 08/12/2021 22:28

Oh sod it, I’m putting it on!
Didn’t realise until this thread that it’s based on a true story.

LizzieSiddal · 08/12/2021 22:30

We loved it. Have watched three episodes tonight. It’s brilliantly shot and acted.

wildthingsinthenight · 08/12/2021 22:32

I'm enjoying it. It's cleverly done.
On the last episode.
Also I am from Nottingham and it's great to hear our accent on tvSmile It is a notoriously hard one to crack.
The female detective does it so well I had to look up where she is from! Bury.

And it was annoying me where I knew her partner from. Worked out he was Fingers in Gavin and Stacey.

TheChosenTwo · 08/12/2021 22:52

Doing my head in so far, seems a bit pretentiously filmed, everything is out of bloody focus Grin
Intrigued though, will keep going.

TheChosenTwo · 09/12/2021 08:27

Well I fell asleep after about 20 minutes!

3kidsareenough · 09/12/2021 17:33

On episode 3 and I love it. Never heard of this story before so must do a bit of googling. Like a PP I love the female detective her accent is brilliant I kept thinking it was Vickey McClure she was speaking but out of shot. I quiet like the ramshackle police team, a bit fed up with most shows being line of duty style even when it's true crime.

The chief detective wearing the cowboy hat did make me laugh although I'm a bit lost on the whole Gerard Depardieu thing 🤔

Rade · 09/12/2021 19:07

I watched ep1 last night. Had high expectations as someone I know raved about it. It was a bit of a let down. OC is OC. Police portrayed as if it were a comedy.

PuppyMonkey · 09/12/2021 21:11

Absolutely hated it. The cringey dream sequences ruined it. Awful.

TheChosenTwo · 09/12/2021 21:49

The female policewoman is the lady who was the hard ass news manager lady in Bridget Jones’s baby. Spotted her instantly. Actually I’m just guessing but I’m pretty sure Grin

She is! She's excellent

I'm enjoying it though its a bit weird.

But I'm slightly concerned about the ethics around making it all artsy, while the pair of them are still about and in prison

Cocolapew · 12/12/2021 17:27

I thought it was shite.

LizzieSiddal · 12/12/2021 17:52

I finished it today, absolutely loved it although
I missed something, why did they keep showing her as a child in that field?
