    Could Have Been Better

    It was OK, sort of a Gaslight type of thriller but I was under thrilled. I don't feel my time was wasted. Good, not great. It could have been way creepier!

    Meh

    Did not think this was good. The main flaw I felt was the characters, none of them likable and none with any common sense in their thoughts or realistic logic to their actions. It lacked tension or suspense and I wasn't really bothered when it tried. I kept watching because it seemed to have potential to get better... but no.

    Intuiging but the ending fell flat

    Honestly it's only 4 parts and I don't regret watching it. I found it very intriguing and I never felt bored. I think some bits didn't exactly make sense and the ending fell a little flat on me but I wouldn't say it was bad. I enjoyed the tone and the acting. If your looking for something to pass a couple hours give it a go.

    Excellent psychological thriller

    I really enjoyed this. It kept me guessing throughout and I thought the mind games played by Michael on his young student were carefuly crafted, skillful and sinister. I thought this was a great short series and would watch again to catch more of the early clues and connections. Ending was brilliant. Ep 3 and 4 were best but all high standard. Story was complex but came together at the end. Acting good from everyone especially the actress playing the student Ophelia and wife Roisin. Great dynamic between them. Binge-worthy for sure.

    Deceived or ???

    The storyline was good but the music was so loud you could not hear the dialogue.
