I enjoyed River. It has had a very promising beginning, and I am looking forward to the next episode. I like anything supernatural.

It's Nicola Walker's time! She's a good actress, I like this new one it's quite quirky, a bit of the "Sixth Sense" feel to it. I think I prefer the new series "Unforgotten" which she is also in, 2nd part tomorrow. I thought that got off to really promising start.

Oh my mistake , I'm sure they said it was the second episode last night oh well I'm off to watch it on catch up...

Perhaps I should try again next week

I started to watch it but found it incredibly depressing so gave up after 30 minutes!

Watched it,and didn't understand it,again.Watched Lewis and didn't understand that either.

I didn't watch it, but I must have seen the trailer because I kept dreaming about ghosts last night!

I watched this as it happened which is most unusual as I usually record and watch after DGC have gone back to Mum.

Brilliant acting and compelling viewing though I expected him to have a heart attack after all that running and climbing trees! He didn't look that fit! I had tears in my eyes at the end. I don't quite know why.

Now the programme has actually started (haven't watched it yet) I'm hoping I never have to see that bloody trailer again angry

"Do you see ghost........"

Yes. That was the first one.

Grannyknot Tue 13-Oct-15 22:25:40

Didn't River only start tonight? I've recorded it.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 13-Oct-15 22:25:23

Oh right! I think I need to watch it again tomorrow.

The guy he was punching ..but wasn't...was the author of the book he is reading.

Coolgran65 Tue 13-Oct-15 22:23:17

But how did he know about the rope. Body not found....

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 13-Oct-15 22:21:21

I'm not sure who the guy in the prison was. The one he was punching at the end. But he wasn't.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 13-Oct-15 22:19:20

He will tell them he climbed the tree and found the rope. And put two and two together.

Coolgran65 Tue 13-Oct-15 22:15:20

Did I miss something?
How does River explain to the authorities how he came to know that the guy in jail did not murder his girlfriend...that it was a suicide pact gone wrong...... when it was the manifestation of the dead girl who told him what actually happened.

Yes, I enjoyed it too - wasn't sure what to expect as Nicola Walker seems to be in everything these days but it was very good, and different.

trisher Tue 13-Oct-15 22:09:36

Brilliant! Well written and gripping. Excellent acting and totally believable.

tanith Tue 13-Oct-15 22:06:06

I forgot to watch the first episode last week so I'm going to watch them both on catch up it looks very good..

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 13-Oct-15 22:04:01

Anyone watch it?

It was the best thing I have watched in a long time. Good twist at the end too. Great!
