New 4 part drama starting tomorrow night

Jane and Emma move into a rental that is an opportunity of a lifetime

It’s is a luxury Ultra minimalist pad

As long as they answer ledwards - the landlords strange questions and follows the rules that he sets ……….

Remember - if it is too good to be true then it probably is

Marking this as I plan to watch it too.
I thought it was based on a novel too that I may have half read!

VienneseWhirligig · 19/12/2021 09:05

I've read that book, it's good.

SoupDragon · 19/12/2021 09:21

Hate to say it but it's a bit wooden (just my opinion)..

IcedPurple · 19/12/2021 21:21

Is it just me or is it quite slow and stilted so far?

HollyChristmas · 19/12/2021 21:21

They are now a real life couple apparently.

Not just me then!
the80sweregreat · 19/12/2021 21:26

Si played Roger Taylor in the Bohemian Rapsody film !
It is a bit slow so far
Glad that Chantelle is ok and about to live in a posh lorry container !

eddiemairswife · 19/12/2021 21:37

It seems to be 'meaningful'. But I can't be bothered to find out what it means. Where are the modern equivalents of Dennis Potter, Jack Rosenthal, Colin Welland?

StaunchWoman · 19/12/2021 21:38

Those who've read the book - is it living up to expectations?

AnyFucker · 19/12/2021 21:58

AnyFucker · 19/12/2021 21:59

When is episode 2 please ?

LadyEloise1 · 19/12/2021 22:00

I missed the first 10 minutes.
Did I miss much ?
We don't have the BBC player in Ireland so I can't catch up on what I missed. Sad

colouringindoors · 19/12/2021 22:01

Tomorrow. And on iplayer

AnyFucker · 19/12/2021 22:01

Never mind, they have just announced it is on again tomorrow. Will continue watching.

Shabnam Masood was in it too.

I enjoyed it.

IcedPurple · 19/12/2021 22:11

It was OK but a bit plodding.

I'll watch tomorrow, hopefully it will pick up pace then. Those who have read the book, do you think it 'deserves' 4 episodes?
