We really didn't want to enjoy this but ended up binging watching it and really loving it. The script was pretty basic not going to lie there. The plot was totally implausible at times and we predicted everything that unfolded pretty early on but was just enjoyable. The more we watched the more we just rolled with the above and loved it. At parts i was genuinely quite scared or couldn't watch and other times laughing out loud or feeling quite moved. The acting felt a bit wooden at times but it was an excellent cast so I put that down to the script. This is a nice little 6-parter and a great choice if you want an easy binge.

Wow. This film hit all the right notes for me. New, geeky Oxford scholarship boy becomes obsessed with wealthy aristocratic socialite and attempts to integrate into his bizarre world - with some really dark and unexpected twists and turns. Perfect mix of twisted, funny, electric, horrifying and satisfying. The final scene was just brilliant! Great filming locations, solid cast, excellent script and fab soundtrack. Loved the social commentary and ridiculous upper class stiff upper lip which was both bizarre and yet totally believable. The acting was excellent and we were totally gripped right from the start.

This was such a surprisingly great watch. Initially I thought it was just going to be another cheesy teeny horror but it was actually fantastic. The story was clever (albeit kind of done before) with great casting, acting and soundtrack. It was exactly the right mix of comedy moments, suspense and slasher. Harriet Webb's character in particular was hilarious and had some fantastic one-liners. We were gripped right from the start and loved every second. Watched it all in a one go and felt it got better as it went along. Satisfying, gripping, just the right length and very easy to watch. Would definitely recommend.
