Hi
I love this show but...immediate spoiler folks - I got to Reece's character about to have his foot sawn off and had to stop watching.

did they actually do it? What happened generally?

I am very squeamish and also never saw the art gallery one for that reason.

He pretends to be his mother's ghost and tells Franny that he was having an affair with her husband so franny killa him. Then the bird comes back in and is the mother talking so they ask it where the money is.

Yeah they do cut it off... i liked this episode apart from that bit i had too look away. What did everyone else think about it

ArbitraryHaddock · 29/04/2023 22:28

It was a weird combination of very graphic but at the same time very unrealistic.

CybermanAshad · 29/04/2023 22:28

Just finished watching. Also had to look away during the foot scene. Good episode. Not the best. But still good. Didn't like where it ended. Looking forward to the next one.

I've just looked up an interview
they said part of the fun is you can't judge when it's safe to look!

I am glad I stopped watching!

it doesn't sound like it's worth watching for the last two mins or whatever. I was hoping for it to be about necromancy.

hopefully the next one will be better.

I liked it. Hate gore but it was clearly not glorifying the nastiness. Done so you really didn’t mind the horrible bloke being knocked off….which became the sacrifice that bought the mum back. You had to assume she told them where the millions were though because otherwise it’s confirming life after death and actually..no ne knows.,
Good ending

What did you all think of this weeks episode

The twist was... there was no twist!

Well, apart from the reveal 2/3 through... was expecting another reveal...

Definitely :D

In this week's episode about the online dating, who was the person with the black gloves she kept letting into the house? Sorry if it should be obvious!

JemimaTab · 11/05/2023 23:19

I thought it was Jai (the last man she spoke to online). Because of the opened bottle of wine.
Unless it was also meant to hint at the “others”?

FoxCorner · 12/05/2023 11:22

Thanks. Think I'll rewatch.
After Jai made the comment about the dress, I was terrified he was going to attack her, because it was such an odd comment. It was chilling. (I know he was supposed to be negging her.)

Are you sure you watched right to the end? It looked as though it was all wrapped up until the very last frame of the episode. Thought it was great. Im yet to watch last night's one.

estellacruella · 14/05/2023 10:14

I Enjoyed this weeks episode. I thought the man at the end was going to kill her.. especially after the comment about the dress and when he was putting the necklace on her i thought he was going to strangle her. What did everyone else think of this weeks ep x

Marchintospring · 14/05/2023 10:36

I really liked the idea and the online dating premise was well done. I knew it was going to be her straight away because that was the obvious twist.
Also there’s no way a disfigured, overweight , Asian man is going to be cast as a baddy in this. So it was never going to be him.

mrsnjw · 14/05/2023 14:42

First one I have guessed the ending. She was opening the door to all her other victims throughout the episode. Not sure why she was collecting all their body parts or the comment about him seeing the dress already twice that week. Good episode. Loved when the wife caught him out online 🤣

PriamFarrl · 14/05/2023 20:57

I was really disappointed with this episode. It was obvious right from the start.

CosyCoffee · 14/05/2023 21:05

Yes I guessed who the lonely hearts killer was from the start too. Still enjoyed it though.

FoxCorner · 15/05/2023 09:13

I didn't guess, although it reminded me of the Tales of the Unexpected episode "The Fly Paper" at the beginning so I was probably influenced into thinking it would end similarly.

estellacruella · 19/05/2023 20:05

Has anybody tried to watch this weeks episode on iplayer. 😆 x

KillingMeDeftly · 19/05/2023 21:58

Yes, it was a bit different but I kind of guessed what was coming.

Lottapianos · 19/05/2023 22:02

'Has anybody tried to watch this weeks episode on iplayer. 😆 x'

I watched it tonight. What a very strange and unsettling experience. Was just waiting all the way through for things to turn weird and it was a very creepy feeling

KillingMeDeftly · 19/05/2023 22:04

Apparently if you watched it live you were told there was a change to the schedule. I wonder how many people switched off at that point?
