Egluntyne Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Anyone watching this? I'm hooked. No idea what the outcome is likely to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I've not yet but will be watching it on demand this weekend. I've heard such good things about it, but as I am feeling poorly, I thought it best to wait until I am much better so I can actually take it all in. Plus, I missed Mondays as I was at my parents house for my mums 60th birthday party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 We are too. We can't make our mind up about Juliet at all. OH is beginning to lose sympathy for her. I think the policeman and the duty solicitor are playing it well trying to influence the case from both sides. I must admit I did think that Joe would have had a bigger part in it so wonder if we will see more flashbacks just to ascertain his true character. I wonder if he really wasn't as bad as they've sort of shown ie the drug dealer etc just OCD'ish and that Juliet is really a baddie. I must admit I don't know why they don't all just talk more!

Egluntyne Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Clever the way they are making the two detectives relationship echo the relationship of Jo and Juliet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 We're watching it......but we missed most of monday's and will not be able to watch Friday's until we're back in a weeks time! I think it's very clever - but I keep wishing they'd talk more as well. We enjoyed the last one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 We're hooked here as well. But I'm out Friday night, will need to ask my mum to record it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alih Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm loving it, though irritated by the court scenes as always as they get so many details wrong..grrr...but Maxine Peake is fantastic isn't she? And I love Steven Mackintosh- does anyone remember how brilliantly terrifying he was as The Street in Prime Suspect?? I hope it doesn't turn out that she's the baddy as it would be wholly manipulative of us throughout.. I too like the way the police officers' relationship is so similar. Nice twist. Wish she would stop pouting though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It is great, a rather disturbing end last night. It is making my brain hurt trying to guess the twist though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thats what I think is good as so many programmes you can predict what is going to happen part of the way through. We've never watched any of these before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillus Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I loved it, thought it was fantastic, brooding and suitably dramatic but PLEASE can we have a sequel where she appeals and wins and gets her baby back!! Come on jack, get that appeal in. ( Yes, I do know its only TV) I had tears rolling down my eyes at the end it was just so hard, obviously the Judge, a friend of her husbands wanted her well and truly punished, and he knew losing her baby would be the real life sentence.

Egluntyne Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Brilliant wasn't it. The performances were very compelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Maxine Peake was brilliant and played it so well. I'm glad in the end she wasn't the baddie. I was rooting for an appeal at the end too and it choked me up when they took the baby away. I thought she acted the scene in the court where she 'confessed' to what Joe had done to her with such repressed emotion. OH on the other hand had lost all patience with it and said afterwards 'what was the point of that' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 We need to petition for an appeal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
