At long last the BBC are adapting Mo Hayder's books, though I'm surprised they chose her last novel to tell Jack Caffrey's story. Am also surprised by the choice of actor to play Jack Caffrey, as I always envisaged Aiden Turner playing him.

Ooo when does it start?

I just saw the trailer for this and wondered if it was based on that book. I can’t remember what actually happened in it though!

It's definitely based on her books. Sounds like they might merge a narrative from another of her books into it too.

Very much looking forward to this! The books are incredibly dark so will be interesting to see how the TV series covers this.

Watching first episode and not really getting it. Anyone else?

User265438765 · 31/07/2023 21:02

I'm on episode 3 but haven't read the books, I'm quite enjoying it, won't say too much so as not to spoil

eddiemairswife · 31/07/2023 21:24

I don't know what's happening. Why can't writers give us a straightforward story?

Piggywaspushed · 31/07/2023 21:34

DH just said exactly that!

Philandbill · 31/07/2023 21:56

This is creepy!

Sluj · 31/07/2023 22:00

Weird and creepy AF

RitzyMcFitzy · 31/07/2023 22:05

The preview for the next episode didn't thrill me.

I think I'll skip it.

Piggywaspushed · 31/07/2023 22:06

Is it meant to be funny??

Awrite · 31/07/2023 22:31

I didn't like it. A shame because I really wanted to. The end of episode 1 kinda game the whole plot away. I might give episode 2 a go tomorrow because I like Sian Reese-Williams.

Just finished it, I quite enjoyed tbf

ArbitraryHaddock · 02/08/2023 09:05

Not sure what I expected, but it wasn’t that.

LadyKX · 03/08/2023 00:16

Just finished all of them. Ep 1 left me baffled / bemused (I think they needed to redo that tbh) but I think it did get better from there.
There were a few times where I was shouting at the telly (as this is not the ‘no spoiler’ thread - just sell the bloody house)

But overall, despite it being dark and pretty gruesome, I liked the twist and I enjoyed it!

watersprites · 03/08/2023 06:00

This was interesting & I did enjoy it. Very creepy in the beginning, some of the story seemed to jump a lot & be quite random. Saw one twist but not the other.

youngestisapsycho · 03/08/2023 17:03

Finished! I really enjoyed that. Decent ending... maybe a second series??

Deadringer · 03/08/2023 17:07

I loved the first episode, its exactly the mix of drama, humour and thriller that I enjoy. I am not keen on the main actor (the cop) but the rest of the cast are brilliant. The second episode was perhaps not as exciting as the first but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Yes, I was thinking the ending definitely left the door open for a second series.

Dartmoorcheffy · 03/08/2023 21:22

Just finished it and hope there's a season 2. Really good. Wasn't sure watching the first episode but once it picks up it hooks you.

Iamblossom · 04/08/2023 14:19

I was so looking forward to it and I thought ep 1 was absolute shite. What a shame.

Awrite · 04/08/2023 16:04

Right, I'm giving episode 2 a go.

Flittingcandlewick · 04/08/2023 16:13

I really enjoyed it...hope there is a second series

I agree. I had absolutely no idea what was going on.

So, I suspended my views and binge watched it and I did enjoy it but I thought it was weird.
