The Girlfriend

[Suedehead]

Watching now on Amazon prime

It’s good

 

[Suomi]

This is great - love the different perspectives plot device

 

[Lucille]

How does it compare to THE GUEST?

 

[Suedehead]

That man is very sexy

The Guest was fun but this is a level above. Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke both excellent. Meg from Motherland is good fun in a supporting role.

The son/boyfriend? Also seen going gay for patronage in Mary & George.

Yes .. he makes me feel things

Cherry looks like Rita Ora

 

[Eddie]

She looks like a mix between Rose Byrne and Rita Ora.

Started this tonight

It's a JOLLY ENJOYABLE ROMP

 

[AlgoAlex]

So many twists and turns. LOVED IT

 

[Eddie]

Loved it too. Aparently the ending differs from the book.

Do we think if there's another series

Spoiler

Laura might still be alive?

 

[Eddie]

The different perspectives were so cleverly filmed with slight variations in setting and dialogue depending on how the situation was perceived by the character in question.

I thought it was marvellous.

 

[Jacques]

Two thirds of the way through and I don't think I've been this hooked by a TV show in a while.

Bit annoyed that I have plans later that mean I'm unlikely to have time to finish it tonight!

This is utter trash. The dialogue is abysmal, it’s got more plot holes than the Charlie Kirk murder case and the boyfriend/son character is so vapid and milquetoast that it’s inexplicable why either of the two of them is so invested in him.

I’m loving every second of it.

 

[Eddie]

it’s inexplicable why either of the two of them is so invested in him.

Apart from the fact that one of them just so happens to be his mother you mean?

The Guardian review suggests strong incestuous vibes but save for a scene or two, I don't get that at all from it. Laura is simply a bereaved mother who is looking out (albeit obsessively) for her remaining child.

 

[Eddie]

The real chemistry is between the female leads. The son is basically a plot device to have them go at it.

 

[Suedehead]

Loved it too. Aparently the ending differs from the book.

I think so yes

 

[Halli]

Just finished this, what was the different ending in the book please?

I loved it, it felt TRASHY NOVEL but also amazing performances and talking points all the way through. I think there were strong incestuous vibes at the start and then it (meant) to die out and concentrate on the two females dynamic.

I had to look up who Cherry was... she reminds me so much of Rita Ora.
