Anyone watched this?

Anyone have a clue who is who and what's going on? (On episode 4 and none the wiser).

So they swap lives every year on their birthday, basically Leni is the evil one and Gina is the nice one, Leni wants to control Gina and keep swapping lives. When Gina is playing Leni she meets Dylan again (lover from her teen years) and has an affair with him, they're planning to run away together because Gina gets pregnant, Leni kills him when she finds out. Thats as much as I can remember! It got a lot less confusing once I worked out who was good and who was bad.

I'm on episode 3 now and following it ok! Loving it!

@whatshouldIdo2022 That spoiler alert was not clear AT ALL. Ffs that's been ruined.

Spoiler alerts go in thread titles or at least in your own post. Honestly.

whatshouldIdo2022 · 24/08/2022 20:21

This isn't my post..I offered to tell the OP and she accepted. @MNHQ could you edit the title?

HEPolicy · 24/08/2022 20:24

I know it's not your thread but it's your post that spoiled it! I was just venting as I didn't want to see Sad

Sorry I'll report my post to amend.

So that’s what I thought (Gina was good, Leni was evil) but then by the final episode I was completely confused and thought they were both bad?! To be honest I didn’t enjoy the last two episodes as I thought I’d finally worked out who was who and then it got confusing again.

CliffordDanger · 24/08/2022 20:54

Is her face meant to not move? I'm not being disingenuous, I honestly can't tell if it's the actress' cosmetic surgery, or the characters she plays in this are stony-faced. I've not seen anything with her in before so I've nothing to go on. It put me off so much that I couldn't follow the storyline!

I think that's been the criticism in all reviews I've read. You literally can't tell the difference. Whether that's down to Botox who knows.

At least it's not just me! A shame, whatever the reason, as it makes it unwatchable for me unfortunately.

TheUnquestionedAnswer · 26/08/2022 23:36

I watched it and got very confused. At the end I wasn't sure who was who. Don't think I would recommend it.

BadSkin · 26/08/2022 23:49

Never watch anything below a 7 on IMDb, saves a lot of time! (Unless it's like a 2...then might be amusing to watch!)

PumpkinGhoul · 27/08/2022 00:07

I enjoyed it just finished it all. I do wonder if they may make another one they left it open ended for the possibility.
Both Leni and Gina survived both were shown at the end interacting with Charles who I must admit I didn't like him too much thought he was a sleaze he knew the sisters were swapping and he had more feelings for Leni than his actual wife Gina.
I felt sorry for Jack and Dylan both got caught up by the sisters however I do genuinely believe Gina loved Dylan and he her was super sad that she didn't get her happy ending that Leni killed him.

Also I really don't know which sister was with Charles at the end as they said they had scores to settle starting with him that may have been Leni more than Gina as she was evil one but I liked it

Excellent strategy!

It was Leni at the end with Charles. Gina was the one who asked the question at the reading.

I loved it and thought it was good, pretty easily to follow, especially once we knew both were alive.

KimberleyClark · 06/10/2022 20:08

Just finished watching this. I thought the initial premise of them swapping lives and shagging each other’s husbands was a bit eeeew.

uhtredbebbanburg · 21/10/2022 11:15

I just finished this as well. Felt sorry for Jack (who was hot) and Dylan but Charlie is a huge sleaze bag. He was Leni's therapist before husband and kept diaries about both of them so I think they were one big project for him. The whole thing was pretty ludicrous though. I wonder what real identical twins think of something like this.

KimberleyClark · 21/10/2022 11:17

It was ludicrous. I mean, Leni was meant to be a qualified vet. How on earth would the other twin be able to do her job?
