I, Jack Wright

[Moanranger]

Anyone watching? I love John Simm playing a sleazebag. Overall concept clever & subversive. Great script. Anyone have favourite scenes? I love where Sally’s son calls here out as a cheating trophy wife - immediately regrets it of course.

I am hoping the appalling acting is meant to be intentionally part of the script?

Series 1, yes. But it tells me there’s a series 2 coming.

Yes it's in production and the BBC are showing it.

Wow, I wasn't expecting it to end like that!

I’m only on episode two, so no spoilers , but why does wife no 3 say ‘my son and I have lost £14 million’. Why not the daughter as well?

That's hard to say when you said no spoilers....

Fair enough. Wanted to check I hadn’t missed anything, so I’ll just continue watching to the end.

I was bamboozled by the ending. I agree with PP that it should have tied up the loose ends.

Me too. Would have loved to have seen more of Trevor Eve too.

You did miss a bit! The daughter was left something like ten million to be held in trust until she turns 30.

I loved it and can't wait for the second series. I don't mind a cliffhanger and will probably rewatch it as I think there are clues you miss the first time round.

i am watching but cannot read thread as it has spoilers
do enjoy john simm and dislike his grace series, dislike the books tbh so havent even watched it

I'm thinking the same. Very hammy.
