Anyone watching this? I saw a foreign version of it several years ago, but this is Australian and is turning out to be a very good drama - well acted and scripted. Not sure how many episodes but I'm on episode 3 and really enjoying it.

Which one do you mean

My remote is different to yours, and I'm FAR from being an expert, but try that white button two-thirds of the way down your remote, just above the pause symbol.

We have now watched 8 of the 10 episodes of The Twelve, it's brilliant. Very well acted, great story-lines and absolutely compulsive viewing.

ITVX is an excellent service, we've paid to have a no-adverts version and it works very well.

Press the home button the one under Netflix. It looks like a house. That’s why it’s called the home button. 😄 That gives you everything.

Wow! Just finished the final episode of The Twelve (10 episodes in all). Absolutely terrific in my opinion. An excellent drama.

I’m on episode 8, it’s a pretty good drama.

ITV x is good, we also paid for no ads…just under 60quid for the year …with an extra free 7 days , I think it’s worth it as I tend to catch up with programmes so not having the ads is great.

I'm afraid I still haven't started it as I've only now finished Atlantic Crossing. Will definitely start it tomorrow night.

As promised, have watched the first episode and found it okay. Wasn't keen on the gratuitous sex and swearing as neither served any purpose whatsoever, so why include it? I will keep watching but so far none of the characters have grabbed me. I like to have someone I can relate to but I'm not really keen on any of them. Sam Neill is wonderful of course, with a huge screen presence as you'd expect.

Oh dear, I have fallen at the second hurdle. Just couldn't take any more. Too many characters to follow and I have no interest in doing so as I don't like them, too much swearing, a plot which is just too convoluted to follow. I just don't like it. That's unusual as I normally love anything Australian. Sorry Sam, will have to catch up with you another time.

Chestnut I totally agree!
I couldn’t get on with it at all.
(I am rather rubbish at following plots though)
That man having sex in the first episode made me laugh out loud! He was at it like a rabbit!

I didn’t fancy the whole premise of sexualised violence and young women either.
There’s too much of it about in ‘entertainment’ imo

I agree, there are too many drama series revolving around murder in general, and too often sex and young women. Is this what viewers want to keep spending their evenings watching? And of course countless detective series too, which always involve murder. I really am sick of people being murdered and I don't understand this obsession with it.
