The Sister

[dukeboy749r]

On ITV - last night, tonight, tomorrow and Thursday.

Seemed to have a nicely dark undertone, but the husband figure - bloody hell, surely if he was that gormless/slow, the estate agent wouldn't have married him in the first place?

Anyway, might be a good story.

But if it doesn't pick up the pace a tad, it will be re-runs of QI, again...

I agree it has been a little slow to start, but I'm looking forward to tonight's episode.

Sadly I gave up after 15 minutes. I was looking forward to this as the trailers looked good. I could not understand a word the lead actor was saying which negated any chance of understanding the plot. Why is it perceived good acting to mumble all your lines nowadays?

[dukeboy749r]

Yes have to agree. He’s started off the same tonight 😒

Quick request - does anyone know the song played in the 2009 New Year’s party flashback?

Shazam was not having it 😖

Over and over. Hot Chip

[dukeboy749r]

Blimey! Thank you.

That was one of the songs - but in tonight’s episode he has a flashback and it’s the slightly ravey/ trance like song playing.

Bloody Shazam

It’s going to haunt me ...

Tip - if you watch with the subtitles on, it often says which song is playing. But sorry, I can't remember the other song.

It also helps with mumbly dialogue.

Good call!

But back to the program - I’ve reappraised it and it’s st

Correct.

[moorx]

Oh well, I'm enjoying it.

Got to say the lead actor/husband of the sister is so bloody gormless there would be no chance of the sister going out with him a second time, let alone marrying him. Unless he has some super power or is very rich maybe.

It’s been a bit mediocre as far as I’m concerned. After things like Unforgotten, Line of Duty, Happy Valley it’s a let down.

Still, only one more episode to go......

I disagree. I know that PH is inhabited almost entirely by powerfully built company directors, who probably use the Donald Trump method of attracting partners, but some women actually like a shy, gentle and caring approach. Especially if (as with Holly's character) the woman is feeling vulnerable or unsure whether she can trust someone, or let her guard down. I find Nathan's character quite endearing, and I think they've got the balance just right.

Speaking from personal experience (as a woman).

I've watched all 3 so far ,might as well finish it off .

Currently rate it at 3 Bobs out of 10 spades .

[Davey S2]

Was slow but I’m enjoying it.

Bob sounds like a David Beckham.

[Gretchen]

What a predictable load of ste. I usually give up after a few episodes of these dramas but stuck this one out as was expecting a twist at the end. Should’ve buried it after episode one.

[Pericoloso]

Good spooky ending I suppose.
Improves my score for it to 5 ghosts out of 10 Nathans .

My Shazam managed to ping it, if it's the one I think, it was Goldfrapp - Ooh La La.

[The Don of Croy]

I thought the friend Bob was proper spooky. Not sure how he and Nathan would have gelled to begin with, and it was tooooo long by half. Also I think they could have made more of the deadwife haunting Bob over the years, then had Bob haunt Nathan at the end.

But what do I know?

Just to add, the family home of the sisters was v. nice, riverside with church next door? Lush.
