I thoroughly enjoyed the series after sticking with it. Tommy is a nasty piece of work, especially having such menacing looks. It keeps you guessing to what exactly is going on with Tommy and his wife, an eccentric vicar. There is black humour there but not so obvious because the storyline isn't easy to unravel. Good to see Abigail Lawrie back (Tin Star) who is a very talented young actress. All the cast have enjoyable characters and I shall look forward to more stories from David Ireland.

Brutal, funny, tongue-in-cheek and worth watching. Ewen Bremner portrays the wildly psychotic Tommy wonderfully. Glad he's not my neighbour! And Eve Myles as the scheming Rebecca is spot on with her characterisation.

The guileless John thinks he's found a friend and protector. Sorry John, think again and don't ever tell Tommy that he's wrong about anything.

I've read reviews of this that say it's far fetched. Duh! Others can't see the humour. All I can say is it takes all kinds.

I'm so used to writing reviews of poor shows that I'm surprised and pleased to be able to write a review of a show that I'm really enjoying.

Just started watching episode 3 on the ITVX player and they're managing to continue the solid start they made with the first 2 episodes. Perhaps this will all fall apart later on, but it feels like it is going to hold up.

The writing is very solid, with nice quirky details, and avoids going the obvious places you fear it might. It's very subtly darkly comic with some great performances from the four leads.

Unreservedly recommended, based on the first 2 episodes.

Struggled to get into it, there were bits in the few first few episodes that peaked my interest, e.g the park scene but after that it didn't keep me gripped, I stuck with it because of the amazing acting by all of the top cast, it got a bit 'silly' in the middle parts but I had an association with the characters at that point, and I did actually enjoy the ending, thought that was quite clever, but ultimately I did think the plot was stupid. Good actors let down by a really poor storyline :( but the ending added a few points on.

How many times can they churn out the scary neighbour next door full of secrets and lies. So boring right from the start, struggled through to the obvious, no surprise, end of the first episode. I won't be wasting my time on the rest. Who commissioned this story, can't they try to find a new angle on neighbour's relationships?

A lot of silly characters, to totally confuse the story. Mostly clichéd and at times rather over-acted. The scene in the empty hot tub with two characters who had just met becoming instant best friends, was particularly annoying.
