Omg it was so good. Harlan is amazing.
Anyone else watch?

Just marking my spot since the SEARCH feature doesn't work any longer. We just watched episode 4 last night. Holy moly, what a roller-coaster ride. The weirdest part is Michael C. Hall with a British accent.  I just checked and confirmed my suspicions that the actress who plays the new detective is the same one who played the blonde detective in The Five!!! |

I just finished watching this series. It took me about two episodes to get used to his accent--I found it really distracting at first. It was entertaining, but why were ordinary citizens doing all the police work, LOL! I enjoyed how the sociopathic family with the pool were portrayed with a little humor. It was also interesting to see the difference in a country without the omnipresence of guns.

It took me forever to wrap my brain around Dexter with a Brit accent.
Same girl, my daughter had to look that up.

My DH and I finished it up tonight. We thought it was pretty good. It kept us guessing almost to the end. My DH figured out who killed the boy in the pool before I did. I might have to quit watching these shows without him😉

Ugh, sorry I just thought this series was awful. DH gave up after the third episode and I did watch all through until the end. Sadly, I don't think Michael C. Hall's accent was the worst part of this series and it was very distractingly bad.  |

I binged it all in one day. I enjoyed every episode until the last one, but some of the ways they wrapped it up just bugged me, especially the daughter. I still enjoyed it, just some of it seemed “well, it’s the last episode, have to end this particular story line now”. And I’ve read quite a bit of Coben’s work and never felt that way.

We just finished it. While we enjoyed it, we LOVED The Five. I hope Harlan does some more for Netflix. I wonder why both were filmed in London.

I read a lot of the books and while I enjoy them I always feel that they are a bit "short" on details.
I really enjoyed the series and didn't even know it was Dexter until near the end! And because I have never watched it the accent was okay for me.
I love British crime shows (this was a French/British collaboration) and really hope they make more- the books have good storylines.

I don’t normally enjoy watching British shows because I can’t understand a word they’re saying. These weren’t too bad. I recently watched Hard Sun and I finally had to turn CC on. |

One huge plot hole for me was this: at one point in time didn't joJo, his wife and Sia move Chris body to Jojo place of work?
Yet in his fake confession and later when he was saying what really really happened it's not mentioned again. Huge hole to me.

I enjoyed the series but some of those characters just annoyed me. Meh.
I found it hard to believe that Sophie could drown Chris. I mean, he is a strapping young man. He would be much stronger than her. I'll have to check out The Five too.

They couldn't get the body up the stairs so took it back to the house, I think, it was all a bit vague!
I couldn't get over the guy being stabbed, lingering at deaths door then being fine the following day to the point he was up and walking and out of hospital.

Also, did they ever say what kind of punishment the three of them would get? Also, I'm guessing that Chris's parents got back together. And would she not go to jail for having an affair with one of her students? |

We pretty much keep CC on while watching everything on Netflix. And shows like Grey's Anatomy where the music sometimes overpowers the dialog. |

 It was the disconnect between the comic slapstick disposing of the body and the sinister search for the missing daughter that did me in. And why was Sophie going to allow Tom to operate on her son in the midst of all this drama? Run with a comedic drama or suspense, but don't make me bounce between them.  I was hoping this would be more like Broadchurch. |

I watched this because I saw the peas talking about it. I liked it, but thought a few things were odd. For example, if Michael c hall and his friend that was stabbed both worked at the hospital, ( I thought they did, anyway) why didn't anyone at the hospital recognize them when they came in?

She had a pretty good police hold on him I could see her overpowering a drunk drugged out kid quite easily. |

My thoughts, upon reading the thread title were: "'Safe'? How can a thread with spoilers still be safe? And shouldn't they be telling us which show they're spoil....... Oh, wait. 'Safe'. Yeah, got it. Duh."
