jah1986 February 9 Share February 9 It was such a relief to see Dex sober, and trying to stay that way. I was taken aback seeing Toby Stephens and Joely Richardson portraying Sylvie's parents. What a bizarre family. 2 Link to comment
30 Helens February 11 Share February 11 Glad to see Emma did the right thing and ditched both Ian and Dexter. Although the second part won’t last, otherwise the show would be over. I assume we’re about to see her star rise as his continues to fall. That Moriarty game was insane. What kind of family beats each other over the head for sport? Apparently the poshest ones, once upon a time. I checked and this is an actual Victorian parlor game that was (is?) played by the wealthy elite, including members of the Royal Family. According to an article in the Independent: Quote At a superficial level, the art of this game appears to be in the bluff and double-bluff involved in twisting your arm one way but moving the other, saying “Yes” and then moving before you can be hit, and so on. In practice, though, the game normally proceeds quite quickly to a deeper level in which one of the players secretly removes his blindfold and just hits his opponent repeatedly over the head. Proper etiquette in this situation dictates that none of the spectators should warn the victim as to what’s going on. So weird. 1 Link to comment
Jodithgrace February 16 Share February 16 I don’t know where the casting agent found those twins, but they were perfect. What a dreadful family! 3 2 Link to comment

The actor playing Dexter is doing a good job of playing someone who's insecure. Having your agent tell you that people only like you ironically, or that they like to hate you, doesn't do any favours for someone who's insecure. Especially when you're getting fired at the time. His latest nineties hairstyle is hideous. It reminds me a little of Dawson on Dawson's Creek. Edited February 29 by Kirsty 1 Link to comment

And the fact that Sophie doesn't recognize how awful her family is (except the twins) makes me question her character. She seems really nice but also very sheltered and entitled. 1 Link to comment
SoMuchTV April 10 Share April 10 On 4/2/2024 at 6:54 PM, SoMuchTV said: I’ve heard multiple positive comments about this but after four episodes, I’m not really feeling it, so to speak. I see the IMDb ratings go up in the later episodes, so I’ll probably stick with it, but it’ll definitely be a filler, not a binge. Bringing over my comment from a few episodes ago. So far it’s still making me cringe at every episode, but I’ve heard some very positive but non- spoilery things about the last episode or two, so I’m staying with it. Please tell me I won’t be disappointed…? Link to comment
