Mcdonald And Dodds

[Vagus]

Anyone watch this, what did you think of it, marks out of 10?
We really didn’t fancy it so didn’t watch it but it gets a good review in the Guardian so we’re tempted to watch it on catchup.

There's already a post on this subject. Have a look at TV from yesterday.

2/10 More like a day time TV show than prime time.

[Vagus]

Hmm, have just looked at that thread Maggie, and seen your 2/10 aunt polly, maybe not so good after all :/

[Mamyalynne]

A nice watch, worth tuning in for the second one.

[maggiebee]

Agree with Mamya.

[Vagus]

Given there’s such rubbish on tv some nights, I think we’ll give it a go then, thanks.

[Lie-in King]

Thoroughly enjoyable watch, am looking forward to the 2nd episode.

[sherrardk]

Given a chance, I think it might turn out to be ok - doesn’t need 100% attention and gently plods along without any convoluted twists and turns.

[megfitz]

Thought it was good, a nice gentle puzzle no unnecessary violence or bad language, look forward to the next episode.
Yes the female lead (McDonald) is brusque and impatient but I think it’s to contrast with Dodds and we’ll see her mellow as time goes on.

I think they have only done two episodes. Obviously going to see how popular it is before they commission any more.

Never watched it. Thought it was MaryLou McDonald (Sinn Fein) and Nigel Dodds (DUP)!

[Mamyalynne]

Missed a treat then Sid, never mind.

[maggiebee]

Could some kind soul remind me when episode 2 is on? Hope I haven't missed it.

Thank you aelmpvw, much appreciated.

Can't help but see Jason Watkins as that wimp of a son in that supposed comedy with John Cleese and Alison Steadman.
