Obsession (Netflix) - new adaptation of Damage

[Faircastle]

The dialogue is not exactly inspiring, but there are some lovely properties featured. And yes, I'm aware of how middle-aged that makes me sound.

Aha - a Netflix alert just flashed on my phone and I thought ‘that plot sounds familiar …’. Still not quite over the trauma of the earlier film, (decades ago!) so I may give this a miss.

Hope the cushion in Paris has been through the wash since they filmed that scene.

Binged it all today..

Very uninspiring and I found the dad really unattractive but I kept rehitting play…

I had to turn it off after about fifteen minutes, I really couldn't see past their cringe worthy stares at each other when they first met

I might take a look at this. I know it's not supposed to be great...

Unintentionally hilarious!! The cushion, the cushion😂

It's on my watch list!

I have only watched episode one so far. DH was laughing from the other side of the room at all the grunting. There was a lot of hilarious gazing at each other. I will watch the rest later, it's quite short

I've just watched the first episode and I'm so confused. Have they been having an affair prior to "meeting"?

The long staring is a bit annoying...

I'm just watching the last episode now. I love Richard Armitage but he has given me the heeby jeebies in this.

I know it's fiction but when Anna and William first met, who acts like that?! No one. No one ever. I'm seeing it through but not impressed.

It's really, really bad. Terrible dialogue, awful acting from people who are usually good, and all the daft grunting. And yet I seem to be on episode three somehow...

It's tripe.
There is absolutely no chemistry between any of them.
The music is awful...
Watched the whole thing..while sniggering at his completely unsexy arse.😁
If you need a brainless afternoon.
This is it.

Richard Armitage seemed a bit off. He's usually quite hot. I thought it was dreadful. But yes nice properties.

Richard Armitage is gorgeous, but yes the cushion scene just reinforces why I always take 'decorative' cushions and throws off hotel room beds as soon as I get there and shove them in a cupboard.
I agree that the properties are beautiful especially the flat belonging to her friend...anyone living with a communal stairway like that is very lucky.

Well, that's about 3 hours I won't get back

Was there no one else living in those flats, they seemed desolate and no one appeared during all the dashing about and so on

Watched it today. Very disappointing.

Was watching episode 1 on my laptop, ds(14) watching the footy on tv next to me... happened to look over when rich was walking round with his little Rick out.... you can imagine the conversation!

Omg... I feel quite embarrassed for Richard Armitage. I don't understand how actors can do this kind of work. Do they think it's art? I mean how can he have read the script about the cushion and think, yeah I'm fine with that.

watched one episode - not sure I'll watch anymore

All of you hiding behind a cushion but watching to the end - loving your work!

The review of it in The Guardian by Lucy Mangan is very funny.
Richard Armitage needed to have a few carbs and better dialogue. How did they get it so wrong. It was as sexy as beige carpet.

Oh yuck on continuation of watching (whilst scrolling on MN) I take back my comment about the stairwell...not lucky at all. I still like Richard Armitage though (when he hasn't got red bloodshot eyes)

Just finished it... I actually have no words for so much of what i have just seen... And yet i couldnt switch it off either. So many questions too... Won't post my qus, don't want to spoil the 'magic' for anyone who hasn't seen it... 🤔

Oh I thought it looked familiar.

Now I just want to find out what happens to the cushion!

i remember that block of flats was almost empty in the original, there were builders working there.
