Bump.

The thing Shaun Evans is probably best known for is Endeavour.

There is another thread with spoilers but elsewhere

Thanks @Lalgarh

Yes starts tonight

Just watched 2 episodes and will probably finish it tonight. It is really good but harrowing. No spoilers.

Lalgarh · 03/11/2024 18:59

It is apparently festooned with trigger warnings. I always find this sort of stuff infinitely more frightening than monster or horror films as They Actually Happened

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/11/2024 19:03

Agree. As it happened it's more omg

He's looking a bit Father John Misty 😱

WellHelloScottie · 03/11/2024 21:22

I'm watching, I don't know the true story so I'm not sure what's happening. I'm enjoying it, but I'm going to have to Google, so it'll probably get ruined.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/11/2024 21:22

Not sure of this

I don't like her accent

Will give it a bit longer but nothing is happening

And she's a bit ocd over her rug

I don't know it either but don't want to google and ruin it

Yeah, I'm holding out, hoping it starts to make sense 😂.

Love the actress though.

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 03/11/2024 21:24

I'm struggling, it feels really slow. Most exciting thimg about the first 20 minutes was him spilling tea on her rug and the fact I used to have a skirt like hers!

Pigeonqueen · 03/11/2024 21:25

We’ve just watched the first episode. We’re struggling to understand her accent a lot of the time as it seems to switch between Irish / American / Scottish and all sorts. But I feel bad saying that because I’m not sure if that’s true of the real woman it’s based on and if it is then I don’t feel that should be enough to make me turn off. Going to continue with it tomorrow.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/11/2024 21:26

I like bed as an actress but weird seeing her in a role like this

V motherland or Ludwig

Wanton libelling of Skelmersdale

I’m finding this so slow.

It's the slow burn of a relationship turning s o u r

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/11/2024 21:46

Def slow and after the pissing in garden and temper and obv friends dislike him yet she is still amoured by him

Yes, I’m confused about her accent and was so surprised that Shaun Evans was Liverpudlian in real life because of Endeavour. He doesn’t look too bad though with longer hair and a beard. I’m getting annoyed with Delia though

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/11/2024 21:56

She is wimpy

And I don't do beards 😂😂

have they no electricity or light bulbs in this flat?

WellHelloScottie · 03/11/2024 22:03

I'm starting to feel the tension. I've changed my mind, it's getting good.

Allthehorsesintheworld · 03/11/2024 22:06

I wonder if the accent is supposed to reflect her feeling of not belonging anywhere? It’s not Australian, not American, Not Canadian, not Scottish but bits of them all come through. Not easy to do I’d imagine.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/11/2024 22:09

I'm not sure whether to watch another 3hrs of this

It's rare I don't finish things things to the end but have better things to watch /waste my time on

It’s bushier than I’d like but he does look good with one lol

HowYouSpellingThat10 · 03/11/2024 22:09

By coincidence I did watch a documentary about this not long ago. She did have a very odd accent that seemed to change.
I don't know it's quite right but having seen that I can see what she's trying to do.
