BBC. "WOLF"

I watched last night's episode from behind a cushion with my hands over my ears but kept asking my husband 'What's happening?' It disturbed me tbh and I certainly wouldn't watch it if I was alone in the house. Don't forget when those two 'bogus' policemen turned up the family, especially the wife was pretty much a bag of nerves anyway and maybe in her relief welcomed them in. Let that be a lesson to us all! DH was keen to binge watch but I said no! I'd seen enough by then but nevertheless we'll definitely be watching the future episodes if my nerves can handle it.

Was going to watch it but now will give it a miss.

I’m really enjoying it, there’s something about it and it is my sort of thing ! I don’t thing the acting is bad, the two fake policeman baddies are meant to be very passive aggressive and completely bonkers, we’ve watched up to episode 3 on Iplayer so far, I completely understand who it won’t appeal to many, it’s very gruesome. I understand it’s based on a novel (but I could be wrong) I’m looking forward to seeing how the various storylines pull together - those who don’t like “gruesome” please don’t watch anymore, it does get worse.

Binge watch on iPlayer...it was a dark comedy but bordering on the ridiculous...

Sar23 I'm with you on this. Have watched 3 episodes and curiousity is making me follow the rest. Given the story line, the acting is great.

I’m enjoying it - half way through. Admittedly very dark and reminds me of some of the Coen brothers work.

Gave up and won’t watch anymore !

I watched both episodes but not enjoying it so will give the rest a miss.

I read the Mo Hyder books, they’re very dark. Interesting to see the comments here. I may try it - but start early evening as it sounds unsettling

I finally binge watched it last night .

Admittedly , I was really tired and dozed through bits of it !

I think that TV audiences have become really sophisticated - it was obvious that the two policemen were bogus - yet I found it compulsive viewing .

What would you do if it soon became obvious that they weren't genuine ?

As it progressed there was some impressive acting especially from Juliet Stephenson .

It was horrendous .

I have some privileged friends , who live in a similar pile and when I've stayed with them - I've thought how extremely vulnerable they are .
At night , it's pitch dark and silent without another building for miles .

Being on my own a couple of times dog sitting - I've been unable to sleep !

An exaggerated story maybe , but I enjoyed it even if I didn't get forgotten washing in nor put the recycling out !

By the way, I hope those of you who are watching it enjoyed it, but it’s not for me.

I wasn’t intending to watch it but at a few minutes past nine my grandchildren in New Zealand rang as they were on their way to school in the car. We had a lovely chat and then when they were in school, my daughter rang and talked to us as she drove to work, hands free of course.
A much more profitable way to spend three quarters of an hour.

I think a lot of people are missing the dark humour and watching on makes it all become clearer. I was a bit startled to begin with but now think that it has been acted beautifully. It is very stylised and I was reminded of The Clockwork Orange.

Spot on! I was trying to think what I was reminded off. Its the startling violence, the off the wall behaviour, the unpredictability of the two. It certainly is weird, disturbing but to my mind, certainly worth watching

Ah ha. I’m a bit slow on the uptake.
Now I know it’s a darkly gruesome, horror, black comedy, I think I will stay with it. It’s certainly a bit different and not what I was expecting

I thought it was great. Will watch more tonight. I have read the book so know the story.

I will try but only with half an eye I think.

I didn’t mind it and will watch the others . The reviews in the times says to stick with it .

Yes it is Callistemon spot on.

Was it like a Carry On film?

Because the trailer looked like one.

Yes HPQ……exhausting 😁

Well think you have all said it.. What on earth?
These are all brilliant Actors so there must be a reason why they agreed to do it.
At times we were completely confused, had no idea what was going on.
Obviously they weren't Police, complete with the side order of the missing Brother. What happened to the daughter in the past? Why them? Crikey what a muddle?

Not sure about tonights episode, do I watch or not?

these are all brilliant actors
Ah, so we were meant to know that they weren’t real police 🤔
If they were all so brilliant why didn’t we recognise most of them, because they’re not.

I loved it! We binged watched the first 4 episodes and reluctantly went to bed without watching the last 2.
Not for the first time, I find myself out of step with the majority.

you and me both. I was beginning to think I had watched something different from everybody else. Not bingewatched it, too exhausted after the first episode!

Those two 'policemen' were like a comedy duo weren't they. Not sure if I will watch the rest.

I really enjoyed it and was really tempted to binge a bit further…..to be honest it made me laugh not sure that was supposed to happen but I’m so looking forward to the next episode!
