Annie, Not realistic? Even though it was based on a true story?
You wouldn’t think that an intelligent, normal woman would hand her savings over to a man that she had been charmed by? Yet many do!

I’m glad you decided to give it a chance. I had the subtitles on as l have trouble with accents.
We have the subtitles on all the time anyway just in case. It was the collective helium sounds I couldn't cope with. If I'm honest, I thought the lead actress, Connie Britton was terrible and unconvincing (What was that walk all about?) and the daughter not much better but Eric Banner was brilliant and made up for it.

Try 'YOU', you will love it and end up having confusing thoughts about the baddie.

I agree, Eric Banna was brilliant in this. To think, he is also a Comedian! What a versatile man he is!

Connie Britton, had great hair and the most beautiful figure but she did drawl a bit.

It was the daughter Ronnie’s walk that made me laugh, like she was on the catwalk!

I meant that the adaptation is not realistic. Of course this sort of horrible thing happens all the time. To men too. But the chemistry doesn't come across in the show.

I take it back Art. I went back to this after watching the Last Kingdom and it's pretty good. What a creep and to think it's a true story.

Yes definitely! I am just on the last episode. Wow! what an ending! Thanks for encouraging us with this thread

I will have to read about the true story now as I didn't want any spoilers.
