6 part drama - on Sunday and Monday x 3w

Set in a fictional town called Chadder Vale, the six-part series explores an insular community that shares a real distrust of outsiders.

Five years before the drama begins, former Met police detective Riya Ajunwa (Wunmi Mosaku) arrives in town and has been waiting for a proper crime to investigate ever since.

Then, one night a local girl called Katie Wells (Rowan Robinson) disappears. Weird. What’s weirder is that the next day she reappears, seemingly totally fine.

The inhabitants of the town remain unbothered, but Detective Riya thinks the whole thing is a bit… odd.

From there, a “series of strange happenings and increasingly shocking crimes” begins to unfold.

The townspeople blame outside influences, such as the fracking site and its manager, Jim Bracknell (David Threlfall), but Riya is insistent that something else is going on, a view that gets a lot of the locals riled up. Sounds mysterious, right?

Leading the charge in Passenger is Wunmi Mosaku, who you may know from Loki, Damilola, Lovecraft Country, Alice Darling, and Temple. Here, she plays the lead role of Detective Riya Ajunwa.

Also in the cast are David Threlfall (Shameless, Funny Woman), Rowan Robinson (So Awkward), Jo Hartley (After Life, In My Skin), Sean Gilder (The Gold, Shameless) and Debbie Rush (Coronation Street, Brassic).

Tonight's was exciting

So the baker brothers know what is in the woods and that people dissapeer via it killing /eating them

Chief linda I think knows what is going on /part of it and why she says doesn't want Riya investigating it

Tho if she did know she wouldn't went the bins discovered so maybe linda doesn't know 😂

What are in the bins ? Bodies

Why do 7/8 men want one room for the night all carrying tool boxes ?

Naughty John playing away and saying Katie was when she wasn't

I am wondering if aiden 😂 is actually innocent but guess he def did stab him with a bottle

So are people paying £6k for a better life to die ?

Passenger video game must mean something

Nick the prick is back. Can't beleive mil rang him as she couldn't get hold of Riya on her birthday

She was right to pack
A suitcase and leave him to deal with his mum. She's been a saint doing it !!!

Roll on tomorrow
Nights e4

I didn't get the impression Linda knew

I think she genuinely thinks Riya is barking up the wrong tree

MrsLargeEmbodied · 01/04/2024 05:17

at least she doesnt have to live with Sue any more

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/04/2024 07:28

Linda must be an awful copper then

Not to be bothered about a missing girl

OP posts:
purpleme12 · 01/04/2024 09:20

The chief doesn't think Nina's missing anymore because in episode one the chief said that Nina's missing case was closed because 'she's been spotted'. 'in Didsbury or somewhere'
Riya said oh so that's it then?
And Riya still things something's up

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/04/2024 15:13

Spotted

But friends haven't seen her for 6w

And left all her belongings and didn't pay the b&b

She's vanished

She's been attacked

She's in the bins

Why are the bins being stolen

OP posts:
purpleme12 · 01/04/2024 15:22

Yes it's not right somewhere

daffodilandtulip · 01/04/2024 17:42

This is the most random programme. Bins? Men with tool boxes? Why does the main policewoman seem like the only normal one?

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/04/2024 22:37

Def getting weirder

So Nina isn't missing and was clare having an affair

The 8 men sharing one room capture the thing in a blue sack and need gas masks to do it

And maybe Katie helped unknowingly

What is in the woods /creature make them do

What is the £20k machine used for ? As never been unwrapped or heard and instead Kane disolves body's in bins ?

Nick the prick is releising how hard his mum is

And if Riya goes to man met he will have to look after his own mum

Linda isn't on the conspiracy but seems a crap detective

Glad Eddie got beaten up but seems wife jo still loves him

I have no idea where this is going!

feelingalittlehorse · 01/04/2024 22:41

I’m really enjoying this. The weirder it gets, the more I like it.

Hope the ending doesn’t disappoint though- I’ll be raging.

AfterTheWatershed · 01/04/2024 23:03

Really enjoying this, something a bit different. It’s got to all connect to the oddball bloke that appears to be hanging around the drama. Don’t think he has actually spoken yet but looks very suspicious. Looking forward to finding out what the thing in the woods is!?

purpleme12 · 01/04/2024 23:20

Well I missed this oddball bloke who hasn't spoken yet 🤣

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/04/2024 23:53

Which odd ball bloke ?

Which odd ball bloke ?

The young man. On the larger side, dark skinned complexion, think he has a slight moustache from memory. He appears a bit like an Alfred Hitchcock cameo. No reason for the shot, you just see him sitting doing nothing except observing people. He was in the cafe in ep 2 I think? Never seen talking to anyone.

lul1 · 02/04/2024 10:01

I've watched it all but yes the biggish lad looks early 20s we saw him sat on the steps smoking.

lul1 · 02/04/2024 10:01

Not sure he has dark skin though?

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/04/2024 10:37

I still can't get over Aiden from Revenge. I mean it's not quite like Tommy Lee Royce and Sidney Chambers both being James Norton, but visually it's a shocker.

The Passenger has got me totally perplexed. So many little allusions to things and bits of hints, but apart from Claire and her sneaky bit on the side, I don't know where to go with most of it, especially the forest stuff and the men in hazmat suits and masks.
