Anyone else watching this?

I think it just came out. I highly recommend it.

it’s a German show that stars with a premise very similar to the movie Room.

the woman escapes (not a spoiler, it happens in the beginning) and the police have to find out who she is and if it’s linked to a disappearance 13 years before.

The shows follows the investigation and flashbacks to the life inside the house.

I’m on episode 3 and it’s so gripping, will definitely finish it tomorrow.

Just came on to post about this! Just watched the first 3 episodes, couldn't stop! It's soooooo good, really well made. Forcing myself to go to bed now 😂

Will have to look this up as we're in between shows, at the moment.

PickAChew · 08/09/2023 00:18

And I see it has the obligatory forest 😂

I started it yesterday too and ended up binge watching till I finished. The children's acting was really good and yes, a gripping plot although I'm questioning a few things (but won't say to avoid spoilers).

I'm on ep 3 and only started it this evening- I'm hooked

@Hopelesscynic , I finished yesterday too, do you mean plot holes? Maybe in a few days we can discuss.

I have one question related to the snow globe. I don’t think I’m giving anything away.

I wish mumsnet had that feature that Reddit has to hide text.

Have read the book and can't remember the ending but probably would right before the last episode! I remember the book was v good.

DarkForces · 09/09/2023 07:00

I really enjoyed this. Really gripping.

A few potential holes but overall a great watch. I really like the limited series concept.

ApolloandDaphne · 09/09/2023 07:02

I watched it over the last two nights and really enjoyed it. It was very gripping.

GhostFaceInMyWindow · 09/09/2023 09:14

Yes I am.loving this. I'm up to episode 3 it's gripping. Don't trust the grandfather one bit 🤔

Jennalong · 09/09/2023 16:34

Two episodes to go and I have my suspect, I'll keep watching to see if I sussed it out.

Jennalong · 09/09/2023 19:21

That girl is so creepy

OhYouBadBadKitten · 09/09/2023 19:52

Can't wait to get started on this tomorrow!

winterchills · 09/09/2023 20:10

Thats my plan for tonight, thanks!!!

@2023usernameNew

As people are about to watch , best not say!

GhostFaceInMyWindow · 09/09/2023 22:57

I've finished it now, and I absolutely loved it. Kept me guessing until the end! Really well done.

I think part of why I enjoyed this wasn't just the story but that it was really plot driven. It didn't linger on the police officers' home lives (Which I don't give a stuff about) anything shown was necessary to the plot. Excellent.

MinnieTruck · 10/09/2023 09:34

I binged this last night and ended up going to bed at 2am. I really enjoyed it! Great watch

GhostFaceInMyWindow · 10/09/2023 09:37

I didn't realise it was based on a book, I'll have to see what other books the author has written.

Jennalong · 10/09/2023 10:23

The book is on a 99p Kindle special atm if anyone has one.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 10/09/2023 11:53

Just finished it! When can we talk properly about it?

GhostFaceInMyWindow · 10/09/2023 12:04

Yes wondering what the plotholes were?
