the husband is a prick. why marry someone if you feel so much resentment towards them? and if you think your wife is a danger because she's having hallucinations, you try to get her admitted, not kick her out of home

Another great BBC production. Definitely a bit of a mind bender, loved being able to binge all eps at once.
My ears perked up when I heard Lithuania, even if it was only in one sentance. Thanks Julian
Lewis capaldi is that you 🤣
The BBC doesn't disappoint, great show!
So glad to see Aldrich Kemp is back, although from the title maybe not for long?!?
I get so excited when they drop a new series! Wish I could find more like this! So good.
Not working
Great show, and makes more sense now.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Classic BBC, just make sure you listen to season 1 first. Unlike me... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Funny, Engaging BBC Mystery Thriller ⭐⭐⭐⭐
BBC drama at its best. Just finished The System series 1 & 2 and now on episode 2 of Exemplar. Excellent stuff.
What sort of ending was that? Dreadful. Feels like there needs to be another episode.
Another brilliant #BBC creation. Scarily possible future, totally believable characters. Great work!!
Really enjoying this podcast. Excellent acting.
Trying to stick with this but just not feeling it to be honest. I hope the next episode improves 🤞🏻
wow Excellent story. couldn't not stop listening
