Chloe

Erin Doherty carries this mini series very well. I don't know why some reviewers complain about the ending. I found it satisfying. Because the show is strange and with possibly a couple vague plot holes. I give a strong 7.

Binge watched this after seeing an interview on BBC Breakfast. The story very gradually unravels over the 6 episodes and I found myself gripped after the first one. The lead role is brilliantly played. She is slightly bonkers whilst being very sharp and clever. The plot covers so many issues; dementia, death, OCD, addiction, etc. But the mmain thrust is the effect social media can have on someone. It's a sad tale but worth watching!

I am surprised that so many reviewers didn't like this. It's a well-crafted story, revealing bits of the back story gradually. A bit of a slow burner but I didn't find it too tedious.

The outstanding performance of Erin Doherty persuaded me to give this 8 and not 7. She brilliantly dealt with the switching between daughter and social climber.

One annoying feature of the production was the large number of dark shots. I don't usually comment on such things. Perhaps it was meant to reflect the murkiness of the story.

And one curious thing - perhaps someone could enlighten me. Elliot and Richard are listed on here as appearing as teenage characters in four episodes. I'm sure I didn't fall asleep but I didn't see them, unless it was a momentary appearance in a non-speaking role.

But I'm pleased to have watched it and would recommend it.

So ignore it completely. Becky gets a call from an estranged friend and then finds out that friend has passed away. Puzzled by the call she decides to investigate a little further but becomes entangled in the same web that may have been the demise of "Chloe"

Fraught at times with the fear of the main lead (who was very good) being caught out. Strange seeing George Warleggan in modern times. But honestly I enjoyed this all the way through.
