I did. And I didn't post anything resembling a spoiler here.

I agree. Your post didn't contain any spoilers.

Ok. I've watched it all and although I loved the first episode, I became increasingly disappointed with it.

I have no probs with anyone binging @TheHillsIsLonely as long as no spoilers. Sorry you had a difficult day

some love. Some hate. Everyone is different

That's not a spoiler!

That's a matter of opinion. FWIW I agree with @Womaninhouse17 ; "I binged on it and loved it" is a slight spoiler. I accept that is not the majority view here, though.

I've come searching for the thread, as I was sure @Blondeshavemorefun would have started one for us - Thank You!

Incredible the number of people who can't grasp the concept of not spoiling a thread - well, TV series - for people who watch each episode as it airs

I am loving it so far. The whole alchemy / growing magical spirits thing is not my sort of TV at all, BUT (very much like the Detectorists) this is about the characters and the relationships MUCH more than the hook they have hung it on.

I am loving all the characters they are building around him - his colleagues and his neighbours.... especially the wife of the young chap spying on him.

Your post points out how incredible it is the amount of people who can't grasp a concept of not spoiling a thread for people who watch as it airs... But you've referenced something that must be shown in an episode that hasn't aired yet on normal Tele

Not really. A spoiler (noun) gives away key aspects of a plot, whereas spoiling (verb) by someone who's giving their opinion on the film/series/book/etc which may sway your view is very different.

Was about to say the same as @purpleme12.

we haven’t seen someone spying. Someone yet

I would say Someone saying they’ve seen all and enjoyed it - or hated it / a tricky one

just their opinion they enjoyed it. Which means hopefully it’s good

soemone saying it’s bad may not like it but wouldn’t shop me watching it

like Amandaland Christmas. I loved it. It was perfect and so many little one liners an references

yet many hated it

Were they standing by a load of buckets 😂😂

surprised gordon doesn’t sack him from his job

🤣🤣 brilliant

i recognised Olive but couldn’t think why

Had to google her name

she was the neighbour with narcolepsy in can you keep a secret on bbc that has just finished

The buckets was the bit that had me laughing a lot.

The worker in the car park kicking potatoes was in Here We Go

And ghosts

as the estate agent in e1

Nah, fair enough. I wouldn't want to live here either.

and later on when maybe selling the house

he’s a well known comedian and actor -

Ah I’ve seen him in this and Here We Go

Awwww the rumours that he murdered his wife 😢😢😢😢

Celebrity barrel scraping 😂

I wish it was on longer than half an hour

Cute little creature

even tho it growls 😂

Loved it!

The buckets for me every time. I could (and perhaps will) watch those couple of minutes over and over again. For ever. Mr Crook is a genius really.
