These trickle teasers are agonising!

Really looking forward to this, season 1 was so gripping!

f*** me, I can't believe we STILL don't have a premiere date :lol: It began filming late LAST summer I believe. Ridiculous.

Not sure what to make of this still. It was an amazing first series that resulted in one of my favourite finales in years! However, I'm not sure what story there is now. I'm ready to have my doubts overturned though, the trailer certainly looks good!

 

and yeh, it started filming September last year so I'm not really sure why there's been such a delay! It looks like it will be airing in September though.

I'll definitely watch it. I know I enjoyed the first series but I've forgotten most of the characters.

 

Ideal excuse to watch that again before this series airs. Anyone know if it's on demand anywhere?

It's back Tuesday September 5th @ 9pm on BBC1 :D

Omg so soon YAS

I didn't think it would be until October so YES!

Wow! That was bloody fantastic! Such intelligent scripting; the mind games between Gemma and her ex was fascinating to watch and quite comical at times.

 

Gripping throughout and I'm so excited to see what's next.

Great first episode, heartbreaking and so frustrating to watch at times too. Really excited to see what else is to come now.

i've never known a show wind me up so much! the writing & acting is terrific, i genuinely feel like Simon is the lowest of the low, an absolutely terrible person & that can't be easy to act. the things that he says to her.. it makes my blood boil.

really can't wait for her to find her strength & give him what's coming to him. i feel like, at this point, she's willing to do whatever to make him squirm. truly a woman pushed to the edge.

I totally agree with frustration as a feeling, it's weird to use it positively but they write it and just generally craft it so well, from the dialogue to the small details like what's in each shot, the length of shots, even the use of silence, it all makes you feel an exact way. It's so frustrating that Simon is absolutely vile but everyone sees this wonderful man and it's Gemma who comes off worst and has her reputation tarnished slowly.

 

I can see it going full circle and he cheats on Kate :lol:

can we also talk about Ros?

she is an absolute snake.. she proved that in season 1 but damn, there she was at the party. blatantly lied to her.

Omg YES she's one of those I knew I didn't like her all along then she just proves it :drama:

I binged watched all series 1 over the weekend and loved it so was ready for series 2 and loved it so gripping and enthralling.

 

Ros I want to slap she would be out of my friends circle straight away, did she learn nothing from her actions prior.

 

Roll on next week though I'm interested to see where it goes

can we also talk about Ros?

she is an absolute snake.. she proved that in season 1 but damn, there she was at the party. blatantly lied to her.

 

Yeah Ros is definitely the real villain here.

 

I CANNOT STAND Simon's smug attitude, it is so grating! But I suppose that is the portrayal they are going for. Really good opening episode and very much intrigued where this series is going to go!

Abaolutely brillintly written, acted and directed! Far better than I ever expected even after the stunning first series!

 

I can't think of a better character driven and focused drama in recent years, there's so much depth to all of them. The pauses are also really well done, helping to further the tension in key scenes. Simon was so manipulative and patronising throughout and you can see how he'll be turning everyone against Gemma and doing it so effortlessly. I do like how Gemma is far from a perfect character too, how she kept being drawn back to Simon thoughout the episode, with both a mixture of jealousy and revenge/wanting to see him hurt.

 

Ros is such a snake but can we also talk about the new character Sian, who happens to be even more patronising than Simon!! I'm guesing there may be troubles with Gemma losing the practice and Sian taking over??

There's definitely talk that Sian becomes a more pivotal character as the series goes on.

What is happening to Tom :o
