I really enjoyed it and felt it was a bit different from normal. I think Ellen's husband is involved in some way. I agree with you cornergran, I don't think it would be considered ethical in anyway.

I agree I thought it was good and will be watching next week.

So far, I think it's really good.

Intrigued by this. Am I right that Ellen's husband was her psychiatrist? If so is that ethical, ever? Setting that aside I am fascinated by what seems to be manipulation and the dynamic between the characters. Thought Paula's husband seemed very uncomfortable. The shots of their home also seemed creepy. Mr C hasn't yet predicted the end, unusual in itself hmm.

I thought it was very good. Reminiscent of the Ruth Rendell psychological thrillers of old.

Enjoyed it, and will watch all three to see how it evolves. Good that there was not too much filmed "in the dark" and we could understand what was being said.

I don't like psychological dramas, so I deliberately didn't watch this. DH seemed to enjoy it.

Yes it was quite good for Tuesday night tv. I agree it was slow at the start, but I guess we needed to meet everyone. I think Paula's husband has something to do with this.

I thought it was excellent , so many twists and turns to come I imagine .

I gave up and turned over after half an hour.

I thought it was a bit slow initially but then began to engage more with the characters.
A different slant on the usual thriller, I will continue to watch it.

Yes, I watched it. It's a three parter so I will watch it all. I found it interesting but I wouldn't say it was a "thriller" as described in the trailers. The new woman is creepy.

Anyone watching Replacement I found it slow going with far too much involvement with the business side of the story I didn't feel any great connection with the characters but I m sure it's much too early to judge and I ll. stick with it the ending was scarey, I jumped
