Has anyone watched this yet?I have recorded it and forced DH to watch it [on his own] and give me a report to see if it would scare me witless or not.He says [rather smugly] that it didn't scare HIM [which doesn't help me at all.]

It was good, well made and acted and all that, but I watched most of it with my hands over my eyes ready to turn away smile

Husband was scared witless! grin

Thanks Grannyknot somehow I think I will give this a miss!I have just watched the 'silent' film The Artist, which I enjoyed and sends you to bed happy and not fearful.grin

No I haven't. I thought it started next week. Will look on catchup.

Never heard of it confused

roses I shan't watch it again, suffice to say it is very bloody. I'll save my viewing allocation for Quirke, starting soon.

It's scary! You think you're getting the hang of where it's going and then it leaps off in a different direction. Lots of twists and turns.

A Gothic goody.

OO-er! I have just watched the first 2 episodes. Not too scary but yes, rather bloody at times Grannyknot I agree. The second episode was better[very well acted] but won't be asking the main female character to attend my birthday party.Nuff said, if you haven't seen this episode.Also felt dismayed, as I had rather liked 'Mr Proteus' and this was a shock ending.

Don't think I shall like Mr Proteas's brother though!

DH is still watching it, but not me!

DH found the first episode on line. I think I could get addicted and the cast is very good! Simon Russell Beale AND Rory Kinnear!
