Anyone watching this?

Top notch acting, stupid plot that shouldn't work but absolutely does. I find it totally riveting.
Stellan Skarsgård and Nicola Walker are magical together, softening some very gritty scenes.

[ummmm]

Yeah...really good.

[Heaton]

A poor plot and there's another four episodes so god knows how it's going to pan out as it's dragging a bit.

[hc4361]

Dragging? Not for me.

[Mamyalynne]

It's gripping, beautifully written and really deep, love it.


The only time his face really lights up is when he is 'talking' to Stevie, moving.

The first episode upset me, but I decided to have another go, and really enjoyed it.

An unusual take on a detective series, but intriguing viewing.

[Sqad]

Sorry, I don't get it. Two ghosts and a miserable looking detective and a slow plot difficult to follow.
I almost decided to delete it and the series, but have i got the correct programme?

[Mamyalynne]

I think it was easy to assume that it was a detective story with a twist when really the writer is exploring mental health and all its effects.

[Sqad]

mamy....you maybe right. I think that I will delete the series.

[Lie-in King]

Absorbing, well-written, superbly acted, I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

[chokkie]

it got some very different reviews from the press TV critics, but we quite enjoyed the first episode and are determined to see it through. One of the things we like about it is that it's a bit different .... get a bit fed up of the usual formulaic stuff that's on the box at the moment. Agree with hc4361 about the great acting from Stellan Skarsgard and Nicola walker (she's brilliant!) Great viewing ..... but looking forward to the forthcoming new series of "The Bridge" ... but that's another story of course ....
