Thanks ladies , Agus I do have Netflix but its finding time to watch at least 2 full series , I'll see how bored I get with DH off work for another 2 wks
I too was slightly disappointed - the main plot line seemed somewhat contrived. And the actress who plays the head teacher speaks too fast and too softly for me - I had to keep turning it up.
Follow-on series are sometimes not as good as the original - I wonder how Broadchurch will pan out?
We enjoyed it. Know people who most of the story lines have happened to, but perhaps we just know some odd people I think Derek Jacobi is amazing, so versatile.
So many disfunctional people, over imaginative writing, all very implausible I'm afraid. I think Derek Jacobi is miscast and boring, would be better off in a Shakespearean role, and Anne Reid plays the same sort of role she has been playing for years. Very disappointed !
I enjoyed every second. I love Sally Wainwright's writing. She apparently got offered to be bought out some years ago but turned them down and created RED productions. Good on her, she's fantastic and someone to look up to.
Me too NanKate. We lived there from 1965 (me) and all his life (DH) until 2003 so it feels like seeing "home" and we recognise so many places. The accents are good too - but did just notice Sir Derek doesn't always get his glottal stop "t'" quite spot on! It's very hard for a non-Yorkshire person to get it right and is always a give-away to we natives! Brilliant writing though.
