Well, I was ready for it, but completely NOT emotionally ready for what happened in episode 1!Still in shock and overwhelmed with sadness after the huge and tragic loss in this ep to properly process it.
After series 2 it could have gone either way with Nina and Tyler, but it has certainly gone all the way in one direction! Totally gasp-worthy! It is so tense watching how blatant both of them are being, and heartbreaking to see how their individual damage as two addicts has created this bubble of massive denial in their affair. It is not hard to foresee tragedy ahead, for both of them..
The Hannah / Nathan relationship developments are compelling to watch in their complexity, Nicola Walker is outstanding as usual.
Not enough Damien in this episode but have a feeling there may be more of him in coming episodes.
ALL episodes are now available on the BBC iplayer! Told myself i was going to watch the episodes weekly as they aired on BBC One. WHO AM I KIDDING. Binge ahead!
Yes, I was waiting for it to start, practically on the edge of my seat.
I found Hannah even more annoying, but really couldn't blame her for being shocked about the girlfriend - just wait till she finds out about the baby!
James and Rose I've always found bland and I would have been quite happy if they'd moved to Australia or somewhere. But I think it was. Quite obvious from the moment James got on his bike saying he wanted to live his life that he was going to be killed off, plus his cycling was atrocious.
It may not sound it but I've been addicted to this since the very first series.
hello everyone! Did you see ep 1 on Monday? Or on the iplayer? What did you think?! Would love to hear! Don't forget to vote in the poll!
Ah yes Ellie, the sub story case with Jemima Rooper and Lindsay Duncan was cleverly woven in!
The show definitely feels more about the lawyers than the clients this series, which is only right in terms of the '3 act' arc for a tv show.
I was truly shocked by James... almost cannot forgive Abi Morgan for doing it to him, loved his quirky character and to do this in episode 1 is brutal!
