Admin phantom Posted May 15, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Yeah, I managed to get invited to a screening before it was shown on TV Thought it was very good, also got a nice free copy of the book Daisy Edgar-Jones is a great actress, if you like her too she plays a blind girl in Fox's "War of the Worlds" recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Probably a top ten ‘box set’ series for me and I’ve seen my fair share. Finished it yesterday and will watch it again next week. Good that they won’t ruin it with a second series as well. Absolutely wonderful programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder is Sally Rooney will now be tempted / persuaded to write a follow up following the massive success of the TV show? I was gutted by the ending - did they go together or not? 30 MILLION views on iplayer alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Just finished it last night. The 2 main characters produced 2 of the best acting performances I've seen for a long time, you couldn't help but like them and empathise with them. If only we all knew as teenagers how unimportant fitting in with the crowd at school and getting their approval was; a few years later and the chances are you'll be in contact with very few of them because neither party needs to or wants to. Then we have 2 people where the only way they can be happy is to be together but with constant misunderstandings, the inability to express their feelings, and being so easily hurt, they keep on finding reasons not to. You constantly want to bang their heads together. I thought the ending was slightly unlikely - given his frail mental condition and their emotional dependence on each other why would she encourage him to do that?

LondonBristolian Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Watching as it is going out so not seeing all of it yet. Brilliant series but there are definitely points where the main characters aren't social distancing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
