Anyone been watching this?

Hugh Grant, Nicole Kidman and Donald Sutherland star. So far it's an enjoyable "whodunit" and it's keeping us intrigued.

Been enjoying it yeah.

My thinking from the start is you don't cast these three without one of them being the guilty party (at least in some way), just not worked this one out yet.


"It's the big name actor whodunnit" is my default theory on most shows though.

Watching this also.

First one was really good but the next two haven’t really grabbed me overly.

Very well acted, think Hugh Grant is great when not playing ‘Hugh Grant’ and I really like Kidman’s talents both acting and physically.

It’s very slick and well produced, just missing a little momentum in the story department at the moment. Will definitely watch the whole series though.

Got to be Donald Sutherland, surely?!

Ive been enjoying this also, but find myself getting distracted by Kidman's 'frozen' face. I think she's been overdoing the botox. She does look amazing, though.

We enjoyed thew first 2, then it's gone off a bit. Only 2 more, so will persevere

There also was the end of the last episode where Hugh says he thinks he knows who done it. It feels as though right at the end they'll flash pack to part of a meeting with his lawyer with Hugh stating some major fact that sways the whole thing. But they didn't show it in the correct timeline.

I've seen a few UHD shows recently and the women's faces all look like they have a filter on them. Mens faces are clear, but it's like the camera can't focus on the females skin, it's bizarre.

Botox giving wrinkle free skin and thus there is nothing to ‘define’?

Yes, NK is looking a little artificial now but still a lot better than many her age. HG is playing his part well and is definitively hiding something. I like his lawyer too and of course DS is superbly sinister and probably the prime candidate for me.

Great locations and sets and a quality feel to it.

Killing one of his illegitimate offspring maybe is one thought.

Nicola Kidman looks gorgeous, but she'd need to put a bit of weight on before i let her marry me. Her legs look awful and sparrow like. Get some meat on yer lass, then get back in touch with me.

Really enjoying this too. I think Nicole Kidman deffo looks like she’s had too much work done and her lips look a bit weird now.

As it’s coming out each week, who do we all think did the bad thing that the shows about?

Or is that going to cause issues for people behind?

The little lad, he saw Hugh there ...........or maybe the copper, he looks shifty. Wasn't Trini Lopez, he hadn't got a hammer.

Donald Sutherland looks sinister as usual. I think he’s in on it with the husband.

All set up to be a very interesting finale. Enjoying and frustrated in equal measure at having to wait a week between each one, especially with great cliffhangers at the end of each episode.
