COLDWATER sun and mon 9pm itv - TV PACE NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

In a long awaited return to British television, ITV (https://www.redonline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-reviews/a64348705/gemma-arterton-secret-service-itv-drama/) have scored award-winning actor Andrew Lincoln to lead in upcoming thriller, Coldwater.

Alongside Ewen Bremner, Indira Varma (https://www.redonline.co.uk/entertainment/a64475507/the-night-manager-season-2-release-date-cast-plot/)and Eve Myles, the six-part series is written by celebrated playwright David Ireland and, if recently-released first look images are anything to go by, is guaranteed to keep you at the edge of your seat.

The series (https://www.redonline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-reviews/g31986791/best-tv-shows/) centres around John (Lincoln) and the unfolding of an unlikely relationship when he moves up to the fictional village of Coldwater in rural Scotland.

Exploring themes of masculinity and religion, the thriller blends dark humour with compelling characters.

What is the plot of Coldwater?

After witnessing a fiery confrontation in a local playground, stay-at-home dad John relocates from London as far away as possible up to Coldwater in Scotland.

Amidst his mid-life identity crisis, John befriends his mysterious next door neighbour, Tommy (Ewen Bremner). A friendly face and valued resident in Coldwater.

Tommy is a relic of the community; he is the leader of the all-male book group and married to Rebecca, the local vicar (Eve Myles).

Whilst John is totally enthralled by Tommy, his wife Fiona (Indira Varma) is completely unsettled by him.

As Fiona strives to add some spark back into her marriage and her career, she is wary of John and Tommy’s bond.

Fiona’s suspicions are correct, as underneath his charming exterior, Tommy is the neighbour from hell.

As his mask starts to slip, his shocking secrets come to the surface, and John starts to question Tommy’s motives whilst he grapples with his own personal struggles.

The official synopsis reads: “This is the story of a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation. A man who discovers a newfound sense of his own power, right at the moment he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous.”

Who is the Cast and Crew of Coldwater?
• Andrew Lincoln (The Walking Dead, Love Actually, Teachers) plays John
• Ewen Bremner (Our Flag Means Death, Trainspotting) plays Tommy
• Indira Varma (Obsession, Obi-Wan Kenobi) plays Fiona
• Eve Myles (Hijack, Keeping Faith) plays Rebecca

Come on why doesn’t Fiona or daughter come into the house

Rebecca is furious with Tommy 🤣

John channelling Rick Grimes there 🤣

Knew it! Rebecca is throwing Tommy under the bus.

Oh Rebecca is a good liar

John has grown balls

Shoot him in the leg

No signal 🤣

I thought William was going to kill Tommy there. The whole lot of them are probably killers. Wouldn't be surprised if Bobby turns up and teams up with Tommy.

There is going to be a twist isnt there

Cameron isn't right in the head.

Rebecca has totally played Tommy.

Don't kill him!

I've watched the first three episodes. It seemed promising at the beginning but I'm not particularly enjoying it. I guess I may as well watch the rest. I usually like this type of series.

There is no way Tommy on his knees could have grabbed the gun as John too far away

Eeeek

Yes I'm thinking John and Tommy staged Tommy's escape and now John takes over Tommy's role in the community.

That was a bit of a disappointment at the end. Too many loose ends.

I assume hoping for a second series?

No way

john Hates him

he killed his cat !!

But yes hope for a s2

E6 recap

https://reelmockery.com/coldwater-series-1-episode-6-finale-recap/

Tho why did Rebecca stay ? Or is she pretending she realty knew nothing

so has really thrown Tommy under the bus !!!

Plus if Cameron is calling Tommys phone and it rings then it’s switched on so why aren’t the police tracking it

as obv a few days on so must be charging it somehow

obv I’m waaaaaaaaaaaaay overthinking this 😂

Yes John hates Tommy BUT Tommy was right that John is a better man now because of Tommy. In the beginning he was a pathetic excuse for a man watching a woman be assaulted before running away. Now he's fighting for his life and his family and he's got his balls back. He might hate Tommy but he owes him everything.

Rebecca really is the true psychopath isn't she. Controlled Tommy and his killings for years, was no doubt responsible for Susie's death because she viewed her as a whore so it is fine to kill a whore (Tommy warned Katrina not to become a whore as he knew he would have to kill her). Then playing the victim and now controls the whole community through the church. Even John and Fiona have fallen for her lies. Cameron is a Tommy in the making after he tried to strangle MJ.

All in all I absolutely loved this. I was a bit dubious after episode one but the 4 main actors were outstanding, particularly Ewen Bremner and Eve Myles. Not sure it has been set up for series 2 as I think it has been tied up nicely and I think they would miss Tommy's character too much.
