BBC version of rabbits podcast basically
There are enough Aussies living in the UK that the bbc could surely have found actors so that we don't have to put up with these (not the worst by far but) pretty terrible fake accents. Or is it something a British audience wouldn't really notice?
well, I was wrong about just about everything! except for, sort of, one thing. right person, kinda, wrong reasons
at 10:18 atm, so now I'm thinking becca did it coz she wants to blow shit up but the kablam plan'll be nixed if sab gets the report to fran. I thought this was all a little cheesy to begin with, and elly's a bit hysterical-annoying, but as you can see from my incessant commenting, I'm kinda having fun now. still think the coroner and/or Mia might be working for big oil/government tho
okay, so now I'm hoping Poppy & Sullivan are red herrings. who will suspicion be shifted to next?! ep1 gabe, ep2 prof, ep3 coroner, ep4 guy who put on beach vigil? becca? will it turn out to be Mia? she lived with sab to be close to her, gave herself a concussion (like The Last Crusade)?! hope I'm wrong on all counts
the professor better be a red herring, I swear to God my eyes are gonna roll so hard if it's him. I'm trusting the bbc aren't so cliche
season 2 just came out and according to my history I've already listened to this first season - don't remember a single thing about it, might need to give it another listen first
the husband is a prick. why marry someone if you feel so much resentment towards them? and if you think your wife is a danger because she's having hallucinations, you try to get her admitted, not kick her out of home
Another great BBC production. Definitely a bit of a mind bender, loved being able to binge all eps at once.
My ears perked up when I heard Lithuania, even if it was only in one sentance. Thanks Julian
Lewis capaldi is that you 🤣
The BBC doesn't disappoint, great show!
So glad to see Aldrich Kemp is back, although from the title maybe not for long?!?
I get so excited when they drop a new series! Wish I could find more like this! So good.
Not working
Great show, and makes more sense now.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Classic BBC, just make sure you listen to season 1 first. Unlike me... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Funny, Engaging BBC Mystery Thriller ⭐⭐⭐⭐
BBC drama at its best. Just finished The System series 1 & 2 and now on episode 2 of Exemplar. Excellent stuff.
What sort of ending was that? Dreadful. Feels like there needs to be another episode.
