Oh my word! That was amazing. I dont think Matheson will do it as if he does there is no way for him to make sure that Holly is alright if he does.

Same here, I wouldn't trust Boylan to keep his word... That episode was breathtaking - congratulations to the team! Just thinking, how quickly can Lyndon get back or will someone find the note before that? |

Surely someone will find that note as they really should have someone monitoring the CCTV feed. I thought Gareth was super in this episode. Still confused as to how he didn't realise his daughter was missing.

So, What about us? What about love? What about saying that we'll never give up?

Can't think right now. Need to watch the episode again. I guess we're missing something here. There should be loads of clues in this episode.

Did he really lock the door? I thought he broke the key before closing the door. He could have locked it earlier so they can open the door from outside. Hmmmmmm. Need to watch that again.

SHIT! That was something that I didn't expect. I don't think Matheson will kill himself, but this is his daughter we're talking about. How many parents wouldn't give up their lives for their kids?
I checked the episode again about the key. I didn't notice that Matheson turned the key in the lock, but he did break it. I guess we'll have to wait and see on that one.
GDL's acting is incredible! Joe's acting is great and creepy and keeps me rivited. So, are awards given for web movies like this because they both deserve something for their work.

Gareth really can do anything. I t really takes an amazing actor to do what he does. The reactions are real and subtle
its fantastic. The both deserve some kind of recognition.... their connection is brilliant. te show is so raw, no cgi nothing, just pure and simple

Still loving the performances of GDL and Absolom.
Still hating the daughter-in-danger cliche and the idea that the murders are only really upsetting if your own kid is in peril. Strangers' kids? Not so much, apparently--how much more interesting if Matheson had been offered the moral dilemma of killing himself for someone else's child, for a stranger's life....but the plot thus far answers that already, simply by being the plot that it is: Matheson wouldn't even consider it for someone else's child.
*sigh*
I hope Matheson is smart enough to realize the obvious: if he kills himself, he has no actual guarantee that Holly will be saved--and it will be rather difficult for him to dial the number.............
Still pinning my hopes on "all is not as it seems." Although it looks too late to rectify the daughter-danger bit in any way.

OMG! I had been thinking that Matheson was behaving like someone with depression - oversleeping, unkempt, not interested in his work. That would explain his indifference to the case until seeing Holly on the CCTV kicks him into touch. Bearing in mind he lost his wife/partner (Sian) a few months ago this wouldn't be surprising. According to Boylan killing himself would be something that Matheson could easily do - perhaps implying that he's already considered or attempted it. How would Boylan know this? Who knows. Really impressed with the whole of this - Gareth, Joe and Tracy-Ann are brilliant. Direction and writing fantastic. Interesting to see the change in Boylan - he seemed more lucid and in control. Dread to think how this will end - but can't wait to find out.  |

r cliche and the idea that the murders are only really upsetting if your own kid is in peril. Strangers' kids? . I think you're watching another show than me. Both Matheson and Lyndon were extremely bothered by the death of the other kids. You can see it in Lyndon's tension at the start of the first episode and in Matheson's interactions with Boylan.It was also clear in the twitter feeds how much this was getting to them. Home. Feel sick &angry. A 7th girl has been reported missing now. I know in my gut hes done it. So if you're reading this? What do you want? Sick and angry is a far cry from not being upset because it's not your kid. Also police officers have to have a certain level of distance or they'd never get their jobs done. Is putting the main character's kids in danger an overused way of cranking up the tension? Perhaps, but the show isn't over yet. We don't know what's coming up. |

No, I'm watching the same show. I'm just looking beyond the surface to the themes underscoring the premise. Lyndon and Matheson react to the other girls' deaths.....But the plotline of the story? More than a bit overused: the idea that, to enhance the tension and drama, the main character's own family must be threatened. That's what I was posting about--going for the tried, true, and cliched storyline. With its accompanying message, therefore, that it is one's own child who matters most of all.
As I also said before, I'm still hoping that "all is not what it seems" will add something to the plotline to give it an original take on this idea.
Even if it doesn't--the acting by GDL and Absolom is still extraordinary.

Cliche is clcihe for a reason you know. it works and its effective.
And what Boylan has asked Matheson to do is not cliche at all. You life or hers, sure, but "kill yourself"? i dunno if that's been done before.
This thing isn't over yet and the writing has been fantastic, as always.
