Stay Close - Netflix

[Ken4155]

A half decent series (based on Harlan Coben's books of the same name) consisting of 8 episodes which i binge-watched over two nights. Stars James Nesbitt and Jo Joyner as detectives (ex man and wife, too) investigating a disappearance. The series is filmed in the North West of England and also stars Sarah Parish, Cush Jumbo and Eddie Izzard. Well worth the watch, imho.

We have episode 1 on our TV as I type.
Lots of very familiar places, so far.
'Cassie' obviously went the long way from Cheshire to St. Helens via Blackpool Prom. ... :o)

We've watched 3 episodes so far.
It's keeping us glued! :-)

Episode 3 for me so far, but where is that suspension bridge?

[Ken4155]

Manchester, Runcorn, Ashton, Morecambe, Blackpool - they're all in there :-)
Must admit, having watched it all, i didn't guess the murderer's i.d. (despite the clues being there, in hindsight) and that's a good thing.

Am watching too. I am on episode 4. Good.
Cush Jumbo has come a long way since Vera.

Berlin Station is quite good too.

Ah! Thanks mamya.

Must try it Ken. The only thing that puts me off is Eddie Izzard. I used to really like him but can't stand him now. But if he not acting like his real self that would be fine? I like binge washing!

[pat2604]

Watching!

[pat2604]

Don't know that part of England at all.

[Patsy33]

Eddie Izzard is a good actor. I don't think you'll be disappointed, Pat.

[pat2604]

I just can't stand him as a person Patsy. I don't think I've seen him as an actor. I used to like him as a comedien until recent years. I will give it the series a try. Thanks.

[Ken4155]

I think he appears in 3 of the episodes, Pat, and isn't on screen for very long.

I'd watch this if I had Netflix, this is my part of the country. I used to live in Widnes and we Widnesians call it the Widnes/Runcorn Bridge, but the folk in Runcorn put their town first !! It's the same type of bridge as the Sydney Harbour one.

I watched it in 2 days, very good. Have you seen Safe, by him as well?

[Ken4155]

Yes, Pixie, another good adaptation of a Coben book.

[pat2604]

Watched this over two nights and finished at 2.00am this morning. Somewhat complicated and a total surprise at the end!! Well worth watching!

Thanks Ken.

[pat2604]

Thanks for the bridge information Shirley. Hubby recognised it from his working days, but couldn't place it, apart from the general area.

[pat2604]

Oh, and Izzard was very good in it, Ken!
