Our godson and his twin have written this...we went to the premiere last Tuesday...its on at 10pm tonight...H..myself and our friends were extras in one scene..had a beefer.... ?...look forward to hearing what you think about .it..its a psychological horror...
I agree about not seeing such big groups on the moors but, the area shown for the after exam get together is very popular. Camping, fires at night etc and away from adult interference. It’s great to see our area shown with its dramatic, often beautiful countryside When the commonwealth games cycling took place around Rivington, I heard any number of people on tv expressing surprise at how much open countryside we enjoy
I'm enjoying watching the young actors who all look like normal teenagers. I am pleased to see an increasing number of dramas taking place in the north and not just in big cities. I do wonder about them meeting on the moors though as personally I have never seen groups of young people walking that far around there. Someone else may disagree with me. Also the trains going into Manchester and Bolton have a lot of countryside going past as they draw into the stations which I have not seen either. Never mind though the drama is compelling and there is a deep message about the danger of mobile phones and social media.
Exciting to read the twin writers are your godsons farview. I heard them interviewed on 5 live last week. You must be very proud of them great talent, likeable interesting young men
Im not a sci-fi fan but enjoyed episode one lots. I loved the local accents and the end of exam celebrations on moorland. Great to see Bolton this way
I've started watching it, but only during daylight hours. I've really enjoyed it so far; the young actors are terrific. In looking forward to watching the rest, but I'm limiting myself to a couple a day. It's filmed quite local to me and I recognised a lot of the places. My late younger brother went to the same school as the writers.
My daughter and I were totally hooked! Normally we would pretty much binge watch a series but limited ourselves to one episode a night. We loved it-kept you guessing! Brilliant,a rare jewel in the endless stream of dramas that are potentially good but usually disappoint! Congratulations and many thanks to your godson and friend!
I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode. The app is believably scary and the teens are all authentically recognisable. Makes me glad those days are behind me!
I am hooked on this, found it by chance on iplayer. Lots of brilliant young actors who will hopefully be seen more frequently in other TV dramas. I have 2 episodes left to watch and can't wait to find out what is going to happen.
Ok, I'll see how I get on . I am ok with scary murder things, but not great with supernatural, so I might chicken out if it's too much for my scaredy-cat nerves, but I'll give it a go.
