730396, Marcella (BBC/Netflix series) Posted by tully_blanchard, Thu Jul-05-18 07:14 AM
Just finished Season 1....damn what a roller coaster.
Havent started S2 yet (prolly this weekend), so I wont complain about a couple of unanswered questions just yet, but if you dug Luther, I think this is the show for you. Couple of familiar faces if you liked Top Boy and watched Eastenders a few, few years back.
But damn good detective show.

Lots of sub plots to focus on. Low key crush on lead actress keep me tuned in

Anna Friel has been hot for the longest. She was stunning in Pushing Daisies. I haven't seen Marcella yet, definitely interested in checking it out. It's disappointing to see good actresses get their face all modified though
|
730414, put it in my list when I was watching River, Happy Valley, Line of Duty Posted by PG, Thu Jul-05-18 03:58 PM
and Luther.. haven't gotten to it... and am not currently in that rabbit hole.

730435, Paranoia is on the list... not sure if I've notice Dr.Foster yet. Posted by PG, Fri Jul-06-18 12:32 PM

730441, it's not technically a detective show Posted by Rjcc, Fri Jul-06-18 04:34 PM
but in the wider genre of milf-y british women in bad relationships untangling conspiracies it fits.
plus, if you've seen Killing Eve, the actress who plays villanelle is in it.

730465, Just finished it....*spoilers* Posted by tully_blanchard, Mon Jul-09-18 06:50 AM
The way Edward (her son) kept looking back at the car at his girlfriends house? I felt the hairs on my arm raising.
I NEVER in a million years suspected her to be behind this...at all.
There are tons of subplots, and I still ain't sure if the lady running the childrens charity is all the way clean either.
Not feeling her "dying" at the end though.
But yeah...this shit was crazy

730482, **spoilers*** Posted by Stadiq, Mon Jul-09-18 06:51 PM
Season was incredible until the last episode.
A lot of threads/sub plots had little to zero payoff
Homegirl went from damaged/flawed, but likeable to ....well, very unlikable.
From suddenly abandoning her kids to slicing her own face (laugh out loud corny) it’s like the writers gave up and said “let’s just do the most batshit crazy thing we can think of and dare the audience to come back next season”
I can’t think of a show/season that went from excellent to dog shit in such a dramatic fashion.
I would honestly like an opportunity to ask the writers, etc what the fuck they were thinking.
Shit was awful.

730489, you're not wrong but as long as they have ol girl I will be watching Posted by Rjcc, Mon Jul-09-18 10:01 PM

730496, RE: **spoilers*** more spoilers**** Posted by tully_blanchard, Tue Jul-10-18 06:51 AM
She gave her kids up cause she knew she wanted to kill herself.
She had already killed her baby, so what makes her fit to be a mother? Ya know? (in her mind).
Didn't dig that whole scene when she cut her face either, but it was more of a "wtf??" than a "oh, the whole season is ruined now" for me.

730549, question.....*spoilers* Posted by KnowOne, Fri Jul-13-18 02:05 PM
Okay so the nurse chick that went missing.... wasnt it Marcella's ex's new girl that approached her and asked to talk? Or am I confused?

732799, i did think it was her husband's new girl Posted by makaveli, Tue Dec-04-18 10:06 AM
|
732781, yep Posted by makaveli, Sun Dec-02-18 10:13 PM
the whole season was fantastic until the very end of the last episode. I’m hoping something will be revealed next season to make that ending a little better but that was way over the top. How can you root for her going forward? PS the son was getting on nerves a little with his stupidity. My friend just got killed, then I was almost raped and killed, this car outside is weirding me out but sure I’ll come inside with you. Maybe the husband isn’t such an asshole. Also, she never asked that dude that worked with her why the fuck are you spying on me? I guess he liked her but it was weird that she didn’t even ask.

732805, Shit yeah that too Posted by Stadiq, Tue Dec-04-18 10:01 PM

I think that’s when the season started going down hill.
She didn’t even ask! Haha I spaced that.

732802, Should I stick with s02? Posted by dgonsh, Tue Dec-04-18 05:52 PM
I thought season 1 was fine. Luther-lite. Love Anna Friel. Probably the only reason I watched. Watched the first ep of S02 and was so bored with all the plot lines. It all felt very...same. Like i've seen so many creepy pedo's on british tv/film in the last 10 years. I think I've had enough.
|
732807, I'd give another ep and a half Posted by Rjcc, Wed Dec-05-18 02:39 AM
it picks up at a certain point, although idk if it's actually good, and I felt the same way about S1

732808, it's worth watching Posted by makaveli, Wed Dec-05-18 11:26 AM
there are things about it that I really loved, and things about it that I really hated. more things I loved, but things I hated were pretty bad.
|
732861, I enjoyed it, I really like Anna Friel Posted by Dae021, Tue Dec-11-18 01:36 PM
- The relationships are good, and it does feel like Luther Lite, but its good.
Would recommend.

732865, word...good stuff, right?? Posted by tully_blanchard, Wed Dec-12-18 08:26 AM
