Was it good though?

[Smithy]

Did you get what was going on with Adele when she’s asleep Niamh?

Spoiler:

It seemed like she was travelling out of her body watching David?

[Niamh.]

Spoiler:

Using her dream door to go where ever she wanted kind of?

But don't tell me, I'm finishing it tonight!

So far would you definitely recommend watching it Namh?

Yeah definitely, we got through 4 episodes last night and they're almost an hour long each

as a side note, that actress who plays Louise is really good, haven't seen her before I don't think

[Smithy]

No spoilers from me

But glad you’re enjoying it

[Ammi]

...I love the soundtrack for this.....

Spoiler:

...maybe because I’ve just watched Sucker Punch so will probably be completely off key atm...but it’s feeling a bit like Adele and Louise are both his patients and maybe still in the mental health care home even and the whole story is in their dreams ...and he’s meducating them to control them and maybe abuse them...and their medication is giving them night terrors...Louise, may be self harming with the wounds on her arms...

[Niamh.]

How much have you watched Ammi? (just checking if I can open your spoiler or not?)

[Smithy]

You can open it, it’s nothing more than where you’re up to

Oh damn, I wish I hadn't opened it now, that sounds very plausible

[Smithy]

Just finished it, as adaptations go it was a very good one, there are a few differences to the book and a few things that hint towards the end that don’t appear in the book

(Actual spoilers)

Spoiler:

In the books you don’t find out that Rob is gay until the swap, which is what makes it such an moment

Also in the show in the final ep you obviously see the blue ball watching the green ball enter Adele and the blue ball in the earlier ep was rob, so that’s sort of a giveaway if you’re paying close attention

Also in the book Adele kills the cat

[Niamh.]

I'm going to finish it tonight

[Ammi]

...oh, I’d forgotten to post which episode it was and I can’t recall but I think maybe episode 2 so quite early....but though...spoiler for episode 4...

Spoiler:

...so Adele is a drug addict and that’s why she was in the care home and that’s why David asked Lou about the local area...to find out where someone would get drugs...maybe it wasn’t part of the reason for her to be in the clinic...maybe it was through spending time with Rob in there when she became addicted...?...but and I still think that David is medicating them and that if Adele is an addict, he maybe supplying her drugs ....I’m a bit confused, actually..and did David burn his arm because he started the fire and killed her parents so that she would inherit and he’d planned to marry her to have that inheritance or control it...but he had told her the story that he had saved her and she believed him because she had had no awareness at the fire starting time/...had been high on drugs.etc...?....hmmmmm...

[Niamh.]

So Gavin figured the twist out partially in episode 5 and then fully in episode 6. I'll do a proper review tomorrow

[Ammi]

...spoilers including the ending...

Spoiler:

...I hadn’t seen that at all, I’d realised that it was Adele ...Adele from hell, but it wasn’t Adele, it was Rob, obviously and his obsession for David...With Astral Projection you surely wouldn’t be able to project inside any other body, like taking host bodies...that would be supernatural, you would be able to live forever in host bodies and what would happen when that host died...


...anyways, it was a good ending in terms of a twist..(...I guess...)....but I don’t know also...it didn’t quite make sense either but a good watch anyway...it kept me gripped...but poor Adam, though...a pretty horrendous future for him and that didn’t sit right...maybe he would go to live with his dad and step mother and have no connection to Lou/Rob but that wouldn’t sit right with David, would it...and maybe Rob’s drug habit would end his life anyway in the not too distant...

[Niamh.]

Spoiler:

Gav guessed that Adele was going to jump into Louise in episode 5 and then in episode 6 when David and Rob met he guessed that Rob had actually jumped into Adele's body.

It was a good show but the ending is so unsatisfying, I hate that Louise was lost and Adele too because she really was a lovely person after all. And I felt so bad for Adam, I was hoping Rob would leave him with his dad but Ammi is right that David would think there was something really wrong if she just ditched him.

[Smithy]

In the final chapter of the book

Spoiler:

rob basically alludes to Adam having an accident in the future

Oh god, that's awful, I wish you didn't tell me that

Spoiler:

...I missed that completely...Rob wasn’t just someone of bad character, he was evil...and wanting to escape his past but taking it with him because the bad in his life was himself, s9 he could never move to a better path....the nurse in the clinic was the clue, I guess...she seemed like a well rounded and well thinking person but she warned Adele to stay away from Rob, that there was no good in him...

Spoiler:

Yeah and towards the end when Louise rang his sister, she seemed like a normal person, owned her business etc and she said he was a nasty person, Rob had kind of made out she was the horrible one but his words aren't reliable

Spoiler:

...I was so sure that it was David from the first episodes but then I did a complete turnaround...because that would have been obvious and I knew that it wouldn’t be obvious..it would be the least obvious twist...I just thought that it would be someone living......which it was, but you know what I mean...I think also that, watching Sucker Punch so recently was influencing my thoughts as well and the control of those girls etc...


...but with Rob, we were mostly looking at the character with sympathy...I might actually have a rewatch quite soon tbh, to look at any clues with a different eye../Behind My Different Eyes.....

Spoiler:

Yeah I was a bit disappointed that it turned supernatural tbh, there's no way anyone could have really guessed the twist early on because of that. I was assuming it was a normal suspense thriller type show

[Niamh.]

On a side note, I loved all Louise's clothes, especially all her jumpers, I wanted them all
