E1 recap

reelmockery.com/until-i-kill-you-series-1-episode-1-recap/amp/

Her character is clearly vulnerable and has some ND traits. He has recognised that he can control and abuse her. It is difficult to watch.

I’ve done tonight but that’s it for me. I normally have more interest when based on a true story but I’m done now.

I think from the previews this is the main point of the drama.

She's odd. She's not a "nice" victim

[Scriptwriter] ..says he wanted to explore what happens when “someone who is not an easy victim finds themselves in [the UK’s] legal system”.

Does anyone know who plays his mum? It’s bugging me! Can’t see her on the cast list

Kate Fitzgerald

Also Loretta in Benidorm , Doreen Corkhill in Brookside and other TV shows.

I've found this really good, her accent is strange but that's part of her character. I love AMM she is an amazing actress.

I ended up binging, it's worth sticking with.

My dd and I also thought Delia had a lot of ND traits which helps explain why she makes certain decisions.

It is harrowing and I feel so angry on Delias behalf.

Yes AM is such a good actress it is worth paying attention to every detail of what she does.

I feel the same

Don't went to waste another 3hrs watching it

But I will read and add recaps for all

@doodles55 I'm so glad you said that about John bishop as I thought exactly the same ! But I'm not wearing glasses so wasn't 299% lol

I got to the bit where he peed in the garden then jumped
On the car and have given up for tonight , I'll re start again tomorrow

Yes I gave up not long after he jumped on the car and she got told off at work for him pissing in the garden.

I'll usually give anything a go no matter how ludicrous (Red Eye anyone!), but this was boring.

I must be the only one who doesn't like AMM as well.

i enjoyed this
i wish she had demanded his key back

I think the slow build up is deliberate. I liked it, it was building tension.
Anyway what do you think happened to Delia at the end of ep1?
We saw him come at her with a knife. We know she didn't go to work and her colleague tried calling. And we could see what I think was her foot, so it looked like she was on the bed. Has he got her captive?

They could almost have played this like any other rom com. Oddball couple meet in pub, he's a carpenter with a wild streak who likes art she's a nurse who lives by her own terms. They become an item. He makes her a bed.

I'm assuming Until I Kill You is his definition of Till Death Us Do Part

@MichaelAndEagle she's tied up

I watched it all, and the documentary was absolutely chilling. She’s a brave woman who went through something horrific and was let down by the justice system, leading to absolutely awful events. No wonder she was so afraid and wary of the police.

I've got one episode to watch. I thought it was excellent and gripping despite AMM's weird, changing accent. Where is the documentary available ?

i didnt know anythign about this when i started watching, so it wasnt too slow for me

I'm sure I read it will be shown after this finishes

I can’t believe how different peoples views are on here. I binged the whole lot yesterday and never thought it was anything but excellently acted and horrific how the justice system treated her. And definitely did not find it slow. Where can I find the documentary pls?

As a true story I can't believe the OP called Delia "wimpy"

This was an excellent piece of television, just the right build up of tension.

I'm toying with the idea of binging. It's the first thing I've watched in a long time that has made me "oh no" when the episode finished

I've binged watched it. I think because she travelled around alot her accent is a mixture of accents that she has acquired. I know someone in real life who is like that.

I think she was a loner, very independent, someone who enjoyed their own company but at the same time also felt lonely and that she didn't quite fit in. It was a slow build up because I think he could be very loving, I'm sure in her book she said he would often buy her flowers, so he wasn't abusive straight away. She said he wasn't physically violent towards her until that moment when he came at her with the knife. I think that was over a year into the relationship.

I think that is a good example of the level of ignorance around coercive control and domestic abuse. It goes some way to explaining why the police and the courts disbelieve women, treat abused women so badly and force them to leave their children alone with dangerous men.
