... the narrator is dead?
I was fairly convinced that he was in Week 1. But now he has committed a rape, then that makes it even more likely.
Are they trying a double bluff. ie making it so obvious that he must be dead that the "twist" will be that he is actually alive.
That's what I was thinking too. He's walking narrating with mist all around, so if he isn't, they want us to think he is.
shareI don't know. I suppose it was some kind of double bluff. It seems to me that this drama was only trying to play with audience expectations, and forgot about realism, sense, or character development.
"I'm not Spartacus."
I thought that too at first! But I thought they were going to make that be the twist, and we were not actually supposed to think that (even though it seemed obvious).
I thought they were just making everything look bleak and he's narrating, but really he's dead and that would be the final episode, that Ian winds up dead instead of Ollie. I thought that Ollie's brain tumour made it seem like he would be dead by the end -- or that he would actually be the one to kill Ian (the line where he said he felt no conscience so look out).
Turns out the opposite. I still think it would have been a better twist to make Ian indeed dead, as I liked the supernatural nature of the fact that he was our narrator, walking around in this spooky version of the real scenes.
I was disappointed with the whole thing. None of the strands of plot lead anywhere or mean anything in the end. Everything was a red herring. All we get is a murdered getting off scot free, a murdered guy's partner apparently getting on with her life as if the whole thing didn't even devastate her, rape and all. Very poor.
