You never know with C5 dramas, sometimes they are really good and sometimes they are just rubbish.

So thought I would post in case anyone wants to give episode 1 a go.

(sorry if there is an existing thread - I did look but couldn't see anything)

Think I would have preferred a twist where Ryan is innocent, but obviously not going to happen! Ed's wife is SO unlikeable.

Well I finished watching last night, and found that for once i had predicted the plot, but not the baby bump. Do you think they are hoping for a second series.

Not the best programme on main channels this year, but certainly not the worst.

And as ever with these series half the fun is the scenery - well for me anyway!

Well what an anti-climax that was.

Ed's wife is SO unlikeable.

Ed himself isn't much better. He's lied
to his wife all his life, killed a man and planted drugs on him, and his last words to his wife are basically
"I suppose a shag's out of the question?" 🙄

How are people getting on with this? I have read the book and thought it was brilliant but turned this off before the end of episode 1, it was kind of tedious and (this is very subjective) the casting was just all wrong for me, not how I thought they came across in the books.

It was all a bit clichéd and no real twists. Surprised Jason Watkins wanted to be in it.

I thought it was dire. DH and I were howling with laughter when the daughter appeared from nowhere, handily finding the very spot in the woods where they were, and luckily just before Ryan finally decided to kill Ed, after dithering with that spade for hours in two locations.
