Just watched Deadwater Fell

1/10. Thin plot no decent twists and no surprises. Awful series.

Also recently:

Mrs Lowry & Son: bloody brilliant in a watchable/intriguing/sad way

10/10

Wasn't that on Channel 4 rather than Netflix?

And an unusual Spanish film:

The Bar.

9/10. This is a MUST WATCH !!!!

Completely ‘WTF’ hooked by the plot in the first 10 mins.

It’s very slightly ‘odd’ at times as it’s Spanish dark humour but carries it off well.

I wish they’d make a third series.

If you don't mind Spanish films then I can recommend "The Invisible Guest" which I saw around 2 weeks ago on Netflix....really, really enjoyed it.

It was beyond dreadful. 1/10 is far too generous.

Almost no plot. Literally zilch. No other possible culprits, no twists, double turns. Awful.

Agreed. Utter tosh.

White House Farm (so similar it's confusing) is much better - and based in truth, not ramblings of a TV writer.

I’ve been watching The Stranger - was this shown on British TV?

Got really into it!

I quite like White House Farm, but they really are dragging it out - could easily have fitted into three episodes rather than 6

[FredericRobinson]

More than likely come up before, but I'm enjoying 'The Spy', Sacha Baron Cohen as an Israeli spy in Syria in the 60's

[TyrannosauRoss Lex]

I'm 15mins into episode 2 of The Stranger....enjoying it so far

I’m watching both of these, though missed Friday’s Deadwater Fell so will watch tomorrow.

Enjoying Whitehouse Farm. The murders occurred on a significant birthday for me and I can recall the media coverage. One of those cases I’ve followed over the years and I’m still undecided whether Jeremy is actually innocent or guilty.

I wouldn’t bother with Deadwater Fell. I can’t understand why it’s had such good critic review when it’s literally a total waste of time.
