I was also transported back to primary school in the mid 90s when she was teaching the Oliver twist play, I remembered the Oliver twist songs. I actually didn't like her at first, thought she was quite rude as that wouldn't work in real life. But I liked her dry humour
 
This series has broken me and I remember feeling the same when I read the book years ago. I didn’t find Dex and Emma’d chemistry translated to the screen till the Paris episode. But the ending 💔 I wish they had flashed forward and shown Dexter in the future. I’m not sure there would be enough for a sequel but I’d love to know how things turned out for him.
 
I watched most of this series when working out at the gym 😆 I could tell when I needed to minimise for the mild sex scenes. Could i get away with watching normal people when at the gym too? I get the vibe there's a lot more scenes I'd have to be minimising my screen for!

For ages I was trying to think who he reminded me of and it's Sam Gamgee from Lord of the Rings. And I can't unsee that now either 😂

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this! If Samwise Gamgee had a son with a tall blonde woman, he would look something like this

Currently on ep 4. Enjoying it but the pace is a bit slow. Both the actors seem fine and pretty close to the book imo (I found Em pretty unlikeable and prickly in the book too, so Ambika Mod is doing a good job I think)

Two Irish students at leaving cert (A- Levels if youre not from Ireland) age. Her family is minted but fucked and it’s him and his mum, his mum is her cleaner. Follows their story which is quite complicated and their lives. Very very good. Im really not selling it but don’t want to go into detail

I did feel it was a slow start but I did enjoy it, and did get emotional on the last episode! Leo is a brilliant actor 😍😍.
It's got me loving The Verve-Sonnet all over again 🤣🤣

The music is 👌🏾 I’ve watched the opening scene in Edinburgh a few times, gives me all the feels from that era 🫶🏽 also the timing of the lyrics in ‘Sonnet’ as they walk away. If anyone is into the soundtrack the playlist is here:

 
Just finished this, really wanted to know the ending as seen so many people talking about it.
Thought it was alright! Again couldn’t warm to Emma, she reminded me of Georgia from Angus thongs and perfect snogging?!
 
I don't mean this as an attack against any commenter here in particular, but I do wonder if Emma had been played exactly the same but by a white actress if people would have found her more likable/would have forgiven her unlikability more.

I've noticed that often brown characters have to be prettier, smarter, funnier, warmer than white ones to be perceived as being the same level of pretty, intelligence, with, kindness as their white counterparts. Not that I have a statistically binding observation or anything but just something I've seen in discussions about shows and media in general.

I think we’ve covered this in people who’ve commented on her character (myself included) feel it’s more the lack of depth that was put into her character from the script/story and not the actress.
