[mumofoneAloneandwell]

I have started this thread out of pure lust for two of the actors sat on the This Morning sofa

Historical drama set in 19th Century Dublin and New York

Based on a true story:

Looks good. All episodes released at 8am on Thursday, so expect spoilers on the thread.

🍻🍻

Omg I've just seen the bath scene! I nearly choked on my coffee!

I mean...it's massive! I thought it couldn't be real but having read an interview with the actor, it seems it is 😳

Louis Partridge, who plays the younger son, is absolutely gorgeous (and is dating Olivia Rodrigo). I was also worried about the violence and thought it looked a bit Disney-fied, but it’s had amazing reviews so will be starting it this week.

Omg 👀👀👀👀👀

Okay so

I still havent managed to watch, and now dd is home, so I snuck off to watch the scene on my phone

Episode 3, precisely 25 mins in, for anyone who come across this

Who is this man and where can I pledge my undying lust love for his penis him???

I know right 😜
I was watching with my husband next to me and apparently my face said what my mouth didn't!!!!!!

😄😄

I dont reckon my mouth could say anything after a few mins with him 🤭🤭

Is it Anthony Boyle @OhTheProblemIsDefinitelyMe he is 31 years old, if its him, he's a brilliant northern Irish actor. Fantastic in Say Nothing another good netflix show but very much based on true events

You and me both girl...worth the sacrifice though hey? 😉 😂

😄😄😄 100% 🙌🙌

@3kidsaremorethanenough no it’s Louis Partridge, AB is in it (and is in the bath scene everyone is talking about) but the first picture posted is of 22 year old LP who plays Edward.

Ah I see, I couldn't open it so couldn't see who it was. Yes the bath scene seems to be a talking point alright!

Just finished last ep - yeah not bad I would give it 7 out of 10.

Ep1 as with most series is a bit plodding with so much exposition but improves from Ep2 onwards.

Only negative for me was the irritating sound track - media luvvies trying too hard to be edgy with inane hip hop style nonsense and too hard to be authentic with some twee trad noise but still worth watching.

So... I finished this.

I find James Norton's character the hottest in this (despite the unbelievable bath scene 😳 and I've seen James Norton's in A Little Life 😂 ) but the actor playing Edward is also very good-looking.

The series as a whole is quite nice, but...

(1) the soundtrack is awful;
(2) James Norton and the actress playing Olivia have zero chemistry in my view;
(3) the Guiness sister is very odd and annoying;
(4) I don't think the series follows historical events whatsoever given that most of the main characters are invented - why not just create a real biopic about this very interesting family instead of making stuff up;
(5) the whole story about Edward's pursuit of that odd noble woman was just strange;
(6) they all say "fuck" a lot - did they do that in the 19th century?
(7) the second brother Benjamin Guiness is portrayed as a total drunk fool so the story about women falling at his feet weren't very convincing, but I don't actually think the real Benjamin Guiness had anything in common with the on-sceen character. Doesn't the whole modern Guiness family descend from him?
