Well worth a gander if you haven't. Brilliant writing and acting I thought.

Quite enjoyed this and looking forward to the next. The ending irritated me somewhat but i'll let that slide once.

That is one seriously sexy lady.

For those of you who think likewise she (Oona Chaplin) is also in Game of Thrones as Talisa Maegyr and one episode of Sherlock as Jeanette.

Film wise she's also been in Quantum of Solace and she's the Granddaugher of the great Charlie Chaplin.

Yes...I know...I too feel a restraining order isn't far away. hehe

The two leads and even the waitress were really good.

Watched the second one last night, with Sheridan Smith playing a teacher working in London. Didn't get into it as much as the first, but I'm still intrigued how the episodes pan out and what happens when the same cast members appear for a second time.

Next one on tonight.

I see the same I think yes
I thinkn she plays a very contemporary female character.
Beautiful, superficially superficial, a pretty below average history, judgemental, has 'the mental', but also craves what the mass majority wants, to be understood, loved and wanted.

Looking forward to what 'she' ends up with.

Wednesday’s episode was excellent. I didn’t recognize who the chap was until the end credits – Ben Chaplin from Game On series 1.

And Mia..... yum

Lovely looking woman, but the programme was ste.

Utterly contrived, tedious and badly scripted; the 'she died' moment was unbelievably obvious.

Yep, the first one was still the better one in my opinion.

Good idea for a series and quite compelling despite its flaws.

All 3 episodes have started well IMHO but have then turned into a sort of Tales of the Unexpected where you have to guess the ridiculously contrived ending.

Would have been better to just play it straight and let the characters develop as the series progresses.

Will still watch it though.
