We binged this on Netflix over the last 3 days. Its actually really good for low-key trash! Basically Dan from Gossip Girl finally goes full creep and stalks / kills some folks.

It is legit a good watch though. Randomly very funny at times too (though it's not a comedy; I'd say knowingly funny in the way that Bates Motel was on occasion).

[ChristmasNeeve]

Oh we just started it last night and got through 4 episodes, it's good, bit trashy like you say but also creepy and a darkly funny

[Shaun]

Caught the first three episodes and it seemed enjoyable if hella predictable :laugh: Helps that everyone is 10/10 would bang, I guess.

Except Benji

[Christmas Dynasnow]

yes I think the TL and I are going to watch this now Manhunt has ended

[Black Dagger]

Oh I was about to make a thread on this lol.

Everybody is bloody mentioning it on Twitter. I'm hooked.

I enjoyed it but the ending was a bit meh

I enjoyed it but the ending was a bit meh

Beck dying was inevitable from the start and I was amused by the framing of Dr Nicky (someone HAD to be framed, there was no other way Joe was going to get away with it all)... but not sure where it's going with Candace being alive :think:

No spoilers but will there be a season 2?

Beck dying was inevitable from the start and I was amused by the framing of Dr Nicky (someone HAD to be framed, there was no other way Joe was going to get away with it all)... but not sure where it's going with Candace being alive :think: was screaming at the t.v. when he locked her up, beck don't be an idiot just tell him what he wants to hear till you get out of there, although I didnt predict the cage at the top of the stairs

[Christmas Dynasnow]

That Beck is one vile piece of work as was the disgusting peach. utterly vile women. I feel sorry for Joe that he was attracted to that when he had that nice black girlfriend who was normal and would have kept him on the straight and narrow.

Ethan was my fave tho

Stop making excuses for the serial killer

He was very tidy and thorough and only killed bad people who as Mr Moonie said "did not deserve to live" so i would not tarnish him as a serial killer

By ep 10 I rather liked him the only thing i disliked was his liking the horrible Beck

I actually think there were a lot of Dexter nods / inspiration but LT the point was that he was NOT tidy or efficient like Dexter, he was actually a total mess and left a tonne of physical and DNA evidence in every single one of his kills :joker:. There was no reasonable way he was going to get away with any of it until Dr Nicky was framed, because at that point they stopped investigating it seems... but the P.I. is clearly still going to have an eye on him.

That said I think (and have seen interviews with the author / show writers) you are supposed to sort of root for Joe, even though he is objectively a violent sociopath. He's supposed to be a likeable character who unfortunately is psychotically jealous and stalkery and kills people :think:.

[user104658]

Except that Patrick Bateman wasn't Patrick Bateman and, arguably, didn't even kill anyone :hee:.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Paco at least will grow up to be a violent sociopath so the series has longevity

and Candice has a much better bod than Beck so hopes for the new series are high :amazed:

I just did not like crazy people being put in the same place as all the lovely books, the vile Beck used a classic as a loo cover - call herself a lover of books, the tramp :oh:

[user104658]

It was a bit of a plot hole, I mean... the books would have been fine being taken out for a few days... he didn't need to leave them in there any of the times there were... umm... guests.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

there were more plot holes than there is on the M6

Really? Oh god no, he absolutely doesn't come across as likeable in any way. If they were trying to emulate Dexter in that way then they failed miserably (except with Lt :p ) Dexter had a code, he didn't go round stalking people because he fancied them or stealing their underwear etc The people that Dexter focused on were actual murderers who'd gotten away with it :nono:

Not emulate Dexter but still Dexter-inspired... like an incompetent Dexter with no code :joker:.

Basically, imagine that instead of being raised by an experienced detective who knew how to cover up a crime and had a solid moral code, Dexter had been raised by an abusive book shop owner. That's how you end up with Joe :joker:. Important to remember that Dexter didn't kill people BECAUSE they were murderers, he killed people because it was the only way to satisfy the uncontrollable urge to kill, and so he sought out murderers as his victims because that was better than trying to resist completely (as he couldn't, and WOULD have ended up killing innocent people).

Regardless, I doubt Dexter would have turned into a creepy knicker sniffing stalker like Joe :idc: Also, Joe killed people when he backed himself into a corner, none of them were actually planned

[user104658]

Funnily enough though... Joe would be Dexter's exact target :omgno:. Crossover episode where Dexter tries to kill Joe (but doesn't manage to, because Joe clearly has his luck stat set to 10)

I think you could argue that Benji was (somewhat) planned, just not thought through. The rest were definitely more impulse kills, he even tried to declare Peach's death "self-defence". Though TBF Peach was clearly intended as the only-marginally-more-sane female counterpart to Joe and probably had some Beck underwear stashed somewhere too :joker:.

I'd watch that but only if Dexter succeeded

[user104658]

I think he was fairly content with the video evidence of the drowning being enough to keep him safe, but he got the idea in his head that (ironically) Beck wasn't "safe" with Benji around, though probably the real motivation was that he didn't think Beck would move on if Benji was still kicking around, even if he broke contact with her.

Oh yes another major difference between Dexter and Joe, Dexter was very self aware, Joe is not

[RileyH]

Fumed @ Peach's death. Easily the best character

[thisisdanny]

I enjoyed this. So many questions though. What happened with the pot of wee, wasn't there going to be DNA tested at the house where Peach died idk

[Shaun]

Just finished.

Jesus christ this got worse as it went on. So many plotholes and ridiculous characterisations. It wasn't by any means a terrible show but it was very... 'Lifetime'. Which is fitting since that's where it aired, first :laugh:

I'd give the season a 5/10.

[RileyH]

Ok finally finished this and I LOVED it. I was genuinely shook @ Beck's death and when there was an extra cage at the top of the stairs and then Paco abandoned her :eek:

[DouglasS]

Has anyone finished season 2 yet? I’ve just got 2 episodes to go.

This season is just as good as the first, full of twists and you never know where the plot is going. Very easy to watch. It’s an easy to watch show and if you don’t take it too seriously it’s brilliant.

The use of a new girl and Candace makes it more exciting than the first series imo.

[Morgan.]

Binged S1 last week and loved it. Seen 2 episodes of S2 so far and it’s not as good as S1 but hoping it picks up. Gonna take this watch a little slower so I have time to take it in.

[RileyH]

Just finished Episode 6. Was hesitant to start at first because I just assumed it'd be more or less a copy of the first one with the Candace plot wrapped up within the first 2 episodes but honestly I think I prefer it to the first one (despite the lack of Peach Salinger (RIP)) <3

[RileyH]

Also I absolutely LOVE Delilah

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Haven’t seen this but the name penn badgley makes me scream

[Marsh.]

Why

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Coz it’s like someone asked him what his name is and he didn’t want to tell them so he looked around the room and saw a pen and a badge and came up with that

[Marsh.]

:joker:

[Amy Jade]

I enjoyed season 2 a lot, especially the side plots like Henderson, Delilah and Ellie.

However...I figured out Love was an utter psycho pretty early on, I suspected she killed her ex but that was a bit of a red herring but as soon as Joe found Delilah dead I knew Love had killed her because she was jealous.

I think if anything the more minor characters were the highlights of the season (LOVED Delilah) but Love and her brother were soooooo annoying and hard to even care about wheras Beck from season 1 was actually really well acted and written so easy to root for, that was sorely missing in my opinion this season. Candace was also massively under used.

[user104658]

Haven’t seen this but the name penn badgley makes me screamIn my house he will forever be known as Badge Penley

[Beastie]

Just finished Series 2. Loved it! Think series 1 was a bit better though. Hope there is a series 3. Looks like Joe/Will might have an affair with the next door neighbour. Hope there is more sex and passion in series 3 and humour as well as the dark humour.

[Beastie]

Yeah Fourty was a pretty annoying character. I like Love but I feel for series 3 she's going to settle because she's having the baby. Hopefully it's Joes baby and not that aussie guy. Where Joe is continuously dark. I thought Joe probably won't have an affair. He's got the love of his life but meh. Seems like our Joe might get bored easily. Naughty boy x

[DouglasS]

Forty is my favourite character, a breath of fresh air and provides good comedy value. Probably the best character of the first two seasons

One more episode to go

I disagree with most of this. Beck was awful in season one and completely unrootable, and unbelievably annoying. I’ve not met anyone in life that liked her and most wanted her killed off :skull:

Love was a far better character, and far more rootable. It was only until the last episode where opinions changed on her. Forty was also perfect for the show and added a lot of other elements.

I think the side characters were good also - and candace was underused as she bought the best plot lines imo - the episode forty bought her to meet the parents was probably the best one

Is this actually good? Or "so bad it's good"?

[Morgan.]

Is this actually good? Or "so bad it's good"?

A bit of both? Some parts are just so far fetched that it makes it ‘so bad it’s good’, but it has parts where there’s some actual quality to it. I found it extremely binge-able, you always want to know what’s coming next.

I enjoyed it though

[user104658]

Is this actually good? Or "so bad it's good"?It's good IMO, but not to be taken overly seriously, it's best defined as a dark comedy. Some of the situations are obviously unrealistic but it's knowingly so, if that makes sense.

[ChristmasNeeve]

7 episodes into S2. God Joe is such a creepy slimeball, how do these women actually like him?

A mixture actually, but not murderers like Dexter... he mostly kills people who are inconvenient to him personally, but...

In S1 he kills his neighbour's boyfriend, who is abusing her and her son, because he's befriended the son... and in S2 he kills a Hollywood producer type guy who has been drugging and taking pictures of teenage girls (accidentally, whilst holding him prisoner). Again because he's befriended a young girl who is the guy's "latest target"

So basically he doesn't kill "because he wants to" and doesn't seem to get any enjoyment out of it... but he does get rid of people because he thinks it's "necessary". He's definitely a villain, not an anti-hero :joker:.

[Zizu]

Love turning out to be a killer also was a big plot twist [emoji23] funny how he gets all moral highground when he finds that out :nono:

Ps Original fake Will was easily the best character
