    How scary is it? I'm tempted to watch it but I'm a total wuss. I avoid all horror movies. Is it full on terrifying?

    No. It’s more creepy than scary.

    Just don’t do what I did and watched 3 episodes in a row... in the dark... on my own...

    I thought it was awful- I couldn't bring myself to watch beyond past episode 3.
    It was like a cheesy American family drama with additional flashbacks of occasional ghouls. :pac:

    I thought it was really good the characters got more and more fleshed out and you began to feel for them.

    You are braver than me. I saw a snippet of it on Celebrity Googlebox & I had to switch it off. I had nightmares about. :o I can't do scary - I'm a total wuss!

    I covered my eyes when it was on Gogglebox. Can’t handle things like that at all.

    OK I don't think I'll watch if some of you caught snippets and it was that scary. Nope. Not for me. I'll stick to my rom coms!

    I went to see The Grinch last night and thought it was great.
    He's a bit nicer and softer in this version of it and I found it far funnier.

    Nice start to the festive season

    If you can get through :rolleyes: the first 10 minutes, Christmas with a View turns out to be a pleasant made-for-tv movie.

    Just watched the second programme with tears flowing free. This was a lady who lived a very very harsh and poor life farming in the Yorkshire Dales, battling appalling winters deep in snowdrifts. A serene soul.

    She caught the public eye and they followed her when, on the episode I saw today, she finally had to sell up through ill health and move. Amazing woman. Totally in awe of her tranquillity and peace
    Through the BBC fame she travelled overseas..

    Seen these before and am not going to watch/enjoy the next one when she lives in the village.
