Fascinating serial. Not The Magpie Murders, it's Magpie Murders.

Just binge watched the last four, I think it was, episodes.

I enjoyed it. Can't believe Lesley Manville is 67!

We watched it all over the last couple of nights - thoroughly enjoyed it.

Watched the first three and found them to be extremely well produced with a very clever storyline. We'll watch the rest on Saturday.

Well impressed.

The BBC. All episodes upon the iPlayer already.

I binged all the episodes last weekend as I was on-call for work and it was raining.

I liked the story-within-a-story structure with the same actors in both timelines.

The ending was a bit poor though.

There is a sequel book which I assume will also be turned into a tv show.

Fantastic - one to add to my binge-watch list.

Different, story within a story, different but worthwhile paying attention.

I don't normally watch this sort of thing but noticed this thread so thought I'd give it a go.

Binge-watched the lot and found it excellent - can't go wrong with Lesley Manville and Daniel Mays but the rest of the cast were good too.

If there's a sequel, I can't wait to see it.

Bump.

Working through Magpie Murders having watched Marble Hall.

Very good. It makes me think.

We really enjoyed all three series, but Marble Hall Murders probably the best of the lot, and a great way to finish the trilogy. thumbup
Might have to go back and rewatch the first two now. smile

Agreed it's really enjoyable but it can be difficult to follow the characters at times. smile
