I said wimpy due to her attitude to being with him over the pissing in the garden and the cars

After being with someone for months or years I can understand why people get controlled and cc and da but surely not in the first few weeks /month of a relationship

I don't think that episode shows her as wimpy so much as misreading all the cues.

He persuades her him peeing in the garden is a sign of his free spiritedness and anti-authoritarian attitude - and instead of seeing that he is a shit, this appeals to her self-image and she ignores the risk.

Am now watching the ITV documentary and Anna Maxwell Martin has nailed Delia's very complicated accent.

That's a good way of interrupting it

I watched the first 2 episodes last night. I agree that episode 1 was very slow and I wasn't sure about it but was intrigued enough to watch another one. I'm glad I did - it gets much better then. So for anyone who's stalling, I'd say stick with it, it's very good (and I'm going to watch the final 2 episodes tonight!)

I didn't think the first ep was slow ., could almost feel the tension building . It felt very dark .

Didn't realise it was Shaun Evans till I looked at your intro Blondes .

I don't think it was in the first few weeks/month of the relationship. From what was said at the party about meeting him I think she had spoken about him at work and had been with him for a while before her work colleagues met him. She was am agency worker so worked at various hospitals so I don't think she had a set of close friends which is what made her vulnerable and an easy target, the same as his other victims, he chose women who had moved away from family and friends so that he could control them more easily.

Amazing what a beard does

I've binged watched. Just coming on here to tell you all to stick with it.

Just caught up on last night’s episode. Not slow at all in my opinion, it’s building and building. And gripping. This seems like a good one to binge watch, so that you don’t lose the tension (but if I do, I won’t post here Blondes!).

And I completely understood the reason for AMM’s accent.

I’ve liked Shaun Evans in everything I’ve seen him in so far, and this seems no exception. Brilliantly acted by both leads (and supporting cast).

Her accent is driving me bananas to be honest, she sounds Irish a lot of the time, which is somewhere she never lived

I had subtitles on so I didn't notice any accent stuff BC I had ge radio on

I've watched the first episode and I'll watch tonight's on catch up. I know the actual story pretty well and I think they've created a good portrayal. I'm enjoying the shots of Amsterdam, a city I know very well and I hope there'll be more coverage of the past murder, which was truly tragic.

Just watched the channel 5 documentary and the actor has her accent spot on

God the police are shit And i bet it gets worse.

It's a bit like the Lyse Doucett way of speaking.

Anyway. Back to episode 2. This is, so far, in chronological order which is a refreshing change to ones that zip back and forth between 1980 and 2012 or whatever

The police interview was awful - no empathy. Imagine having to recount that to 2 male strangers

I can’t work out the year this is supposed to be. Thought it was 70s /80s , but now seems it’s the 90s? Anyone know what year it’s set in?

they are now in 1994

She has a good point They let the violent fucker out so he could see his family at Xmas and stopped her from seeing hers Knew it would get worse

The pub they met in was the Hawley Arms in Camden.

A decade later it was where Any Winehouse would hang out with Russell Brand and Pete Doherty

It's also where Baby Reindeer is set

Wow, poor Delia.

AMM nailed this role imo. She's such a dynamic actress that I forget it's AMM I'm watching and get completely absorbed by the character.
