Anybody Been Watching Blood On Ch5?

[ladybirder]

Adrian Dunbar's in it. It's good and tonight I held by breath through most of it. There's 6 Episodes, 3 already gone.
Anyone else enjoying it?

I've recorded it but have hesitated to give it a try. I will now though. Thanks LB.

[Mamyalynne]

Also have it on series record and not yet watched.

Sounds good.

[granny grump]

The first series was really good as well I do like Adrian Dunbar

[ladybirder]

Do watch it. I didn't see the first series but I may well go back and watch it if I can. It's not the easiest of watches and took me a couple of episodes to figure out who's who but I'm glad I stuck with it. Heart in mouth tonight, it just dripped menace.

It gets a good review in the Guardian which ends by saying //Blood is a smart, gripping saga that credits its audience with intelligence, and it deserves to have viewers hooked. \\

Enjoy ladies.

I am watching this series, and I watched the first series,but I would advise, if possible, to watch the first series before you watch the one you have taped.

I'm enjoying it very much but I agree it would be a help too see series 1 first. I did see the first series and thought I could remember things but apart from one main story there are other bits and pieces to do with the brothers and sisters have importance.
Just to say - I watched the whole of ep 1 thinking that what I thought was flashback was in fact what was going on currently and vice versa !!
Never done that before.

Already a thread running on this Lyn. It jumps backwards and forwards but I'm loving it.

Sorry, should be on the other thread. Can a mod move it or not?

[mumstheword1]

Just downloaded first series and taping second. Onky watched 2 episodes so far but yes enjoying it.

Adrian Dunbar is brilliant as he always is and Fiona is really well acted The story jumps around in time but is easy to follow really. Chilling finale. Cannot wait for Line Of Duty.

[ladybirder]

Line of Duty YES PLEASE. Soon I hope.

Can't be all that soon. Filming of LOD has had to cease because of the virus so it's not even 'in the can' yet :-(

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

I have a few things which puzzle me about the last episode.
If Paul was poisoned by Fiona why was the detective questioning Jim about a head injury and showing him a photo of as weapon ?
Was that the weapon that killed Lian ? It didn't look like it and I think I was convinced that Paul had got rid of it.
And what was the significance of Owen finding the blood stain please ?
I think I must have missed a lot. Did I ? Thanks

SPOILER

Rosie, Paul hit his head when he collapsed after taking the pills. It was assumed this was cause of death, no need to look for drugs in his system.
It was the same pipe that killed Kian, Paul said he got rid of it but he didn't.
When Owen saw the blood he thought that Paul must have been involved in whatever happened to Kian, as he knew he'd been round there. That's why he cut the brakes on Paul's car.

Ah - thanks very much Ladybirder and Chelle - much clearer now. I did enjoy the series - I thought all the characters were believable and very well acted.
