BBC one, starting Monday 1st September

So, for us naughty ‘ binge watchers’ what do we think?
I’ve seen two so far and been able to pretty much predict a lot of it.
After a very good tense first episode, it’s going down hill fast and Fran’s trout pout acting is driving me mad! It is only four episodes, so not that long.

It was enjoyable nonsense but I would like to say the acting from Ria was really good, particularly in that scene near the end when she was pleading for her life with Fran. Made me well up a bit.

Just finished watching it . Enjoyed it but didn’t quite get what had happened to all those girls whose passports flashed up on the screen in the last episode.
And what happened to the poor old gardener? Just left in the care home.
i thought the explanation of the mysterious room upstairs was quite good.
If the furniture importing business was just a front for drug smuggling why bother with the event?

Also Ria took the video of Fran and Richard shagging in the kitchen but never used it.

Lining it up for a second series, I think!

At the end Ria has all the crypto ... Eyes lighting up as she's watching the balance come up .... What will she do with it?

Gave up with it. Load of mumbling, violence, drug taking not my thing.

I enjoyed it. Rhossili where Ria was taken is here in Swansea and it’s so remote I was wondering how the heck she got back to Cardiff from there.

The pub where Fran & Ria were stealing booze from burnt down recently.

was funny to see Dave Coaches and Luke from Stella.

Half expected Baldini to pop up somewhere too

I never twigged that it was Rhosilli, and I went to uni in Swansea!

I quite liked the drama, even if it was a bit silly! Kept my attention and was a bit creepy.
But surely you’d just not swallow if someone was trying to pour something down your throat?

Nothing to do with the show itself, but I was wondering what cleaning product she used on the bath in the first episode - it was like a creamy product and looked like it would leave it smelling lovely and looking sparkling 😂

Utter drivel. Loved it!

Episode 2 is so weird. None of it makes sense.

I am considering leaving g it which is a shame because Ria is great!

Is it Cif cream cleaner?

I enjoyed it, although I agree it went downhill after the first episode!

Also, I was convinced that Fran's dad who died in prison was going to turn out to be Ria's stepdad who she attacked (?) - I still think they might saving that backstory for a second series...

Watched it and liked it initially - i liked the cat and mouse element

Agree that the ending was so rushed and it ended up making no sense

'Why go to those lengths to groom a drug mule' was correct 😭😭, although i got that maybe it was about 'saving' the girls

Just a bit of mess in the end. Also, how she managed to escape the police by running in ugg boots, I'll never know

Also, what happened to the girl before her? What happened to the other girls? What happened to the blonde groomer?

Maybe they needed another episode to fully finish the show, dunno

😭😭

Pissed me off how we never got a clear answer about what happened to Anna. Obviously she was killed but no details, felt cheated. Agree it was wrapped up far too quickly.

I thought they were making out that Michael had been recruiting the girls for Fran. But Ria had already been 'found' by Fran before she met Michael so I didn't really understand the point of setting her up with him? Or also why he went so mad when he 'discovered' she wasn't who she was saying she was, as he'd have well known?

I think he went mad because she rejected him and told him to leave which would have gone against the plans. I guess by getting into relationships with these girls it allows for another person with the group to manipulate and influence them. But I agree it was all very far fetched.

I enjoyed it. It was unbelievable but the house and clothes were good to look at. I liked having two strong female leads and I enjoyed Ria getting that crypto money at the end.

Fran's green velvet suit in particular looked so elegant.

I like Eve Myles. It was enjoyable enough but disbelief had to be highly suspended. What was the significance of the Antwerp bus station? Where did Fran disappear to? Why did the police close the investigation into Michael's death so quickly? Isn't everyone going to notice that Ria's now a multi-millionaire with no explanation?

There was no significance to the Antwerp Bus Station - it was mis thought as that - as the 'what three words' were not to that location as the last word was mis read so was actually the lock up.

Omg that last episode what a load of chaotic nonsense!

The silly stuff at her pals house having a shower then escaping from a squad of armed pc. The wife popping to her brother's to leave her dh to chat to the very obvious ow. You wouldn't would you.

The storage place and randomly finding a usb/crypto thingy with all the info on. Fran's bit on the side abducting Ria then popping outside to take a call. It was absolutely ludicrous.

Fran did have nice outfits and posh decor though, there was that.

Watched it at the weekend, loved it! Especially the beautiful houses! Great acting all round, I thought.
