Has Jamie Dornan as a man who finds himself in Australia with amnesia trying to piece together who is trying to kill him. Has been likened to the film Memento with Guy Pearce. Looks promising.

I don't know why he didn't do a U turn when the truck first bore down on him.

NutellaEllaElla · 01/01/2022 21:12

He didn't seem at all surprised or confused by the random attack on the road. In what world would a truck out run any car and in what world would it sneak up on you?

LadyEloise1 · 01/01/2022 21:20

Surely the rookie detective would recognise the accent isn't Australian????
I mean surely that would be a big help in identifying him ???

Aquarius1234 · 01/01/2022 21:20

I'm not sure if I like this....

Mrsjayy · 01/01/2022 21:25

It isn't holding my attention either Sad

I agree, Lady Eloise, surely either of them would acknowledge he’s not Australian? Irish embassy?

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2022 21:36

The policewoman seems a bit dim.

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2022 21:41

Who is buried underground?

Mrsjayy · 01/01/2022 21:41

I mean a probationary wouldn't be his only port of call would it 🤷 he is very handsome so I'm powering through Grin

@the80sweregreat

Who is buried underground?
No idea
Mrsjayy · 01/01/2022 21:42

I wonder if he put the person underground ?

Popfan · 01/01/2022 21:43

Eek the buried underground thing is literally my worst nightmare and is making me feel sick!!!

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2022 21:43

Dh thought it was him with no name , duh !
It was dark to be fair to him or maybe a flashback?
Helen fancies no name.

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2022 21:45

He may have buried him?
It's the truck driver .. oh no

Clymene · 01/01/2022 21:45

God this is slow

NutellaEllaElla · 01/01/2022 21:45

Everyone fancies no name Grin

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2022 21:45

@NutellaEllaElla

Everyone fancies no name Grin
True !
Mrsjayy · 01/01/2022 21:48

I mean Wink

It's tonally very strange - all dark and moody but with jokes about potato guns. I can't decide if I like it or not but I'm still watching so it must have something going for it! I have no qualms about switching off and giving up if I'm not into something these days.

Fuckitydoodah · 01/01/2022 21:51

I think he buried the guy underground and was probably meant to go back at some point.

The policewoman is irritating.

Piggywaspushed · 01/01/2022 21:51

Is it trying to be a bit Coen brothers?

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2022 21:52

Even looking like a man who was run off the road by a huge truck by a whistling sociopath with a bushy beard and a scar and amnesia with a bad foot , he is still lovely.

NutellaEllaElla · 01/01/2022 21:52

I'm still watching it so it must have something going for it
I can't imagine what... Grin

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2022 21:53

@Piggywaspushed

Is it trying to be a bit Coen brothers?
Yes! It's very similar to their stuff
Mrsjayy · 01/01/2022 21:54

Yes I think he might have meant to go back for underground man
