E4&#x27;s Glue

Original post by Mackay

Started this week, anybody catch it?

Starring one half of Rizzle Kicks, it's penned by Jack Thorne who also wrote This is England 86 and Skins. It focuses on a Berkshire town rocked by a murder of a teenage boy. It's meant to be Broadchurch-meets-Skins.

I was really impressed with the pilot. What did you think?

I thought it was a decent first episode & I'll be interested to see where it goes next. Always good to see some drama being made for young adults. :smile:

E4 will pretty much be the only UK channel doing this if BBC3 goes.

i love it i think its really good i like how they've put some elements of skins but aren't focusing on all the craziness but the murder in general. its fun tryna figure out which one them killed him, but i have no clue who did but i'd guess it's the one u'd least expect.

Really intriguing second episode. Not quite as good as the first, but the dialogue was sharper and we're getting a sense of the characters. It really does have a Broadchurch feel about it - there's no denying that.

Here's my theory:
Cal went into a care home. He and Chris then became male prostitutes pleasing men.
Three days before cal met up with the ginger policeman I believe he was one of his clients.
Five days before eli follows cal after cal came out the home he tried his best to keep an eye on him. I believe the person cal was meeting was chris the boy he met at the home.
Cal gives information to a mysterious guy he tells him that it's two guys not much older than him driving a red horse box I think this is about Rob and the stable owner.
'janine' was murdered by someone in a white car and the little ginger traveler probably saw everything. I think the killer set up ruth because of the ring she gave ruth. I also think her killer isnt cal's but are somehow related, I think it was that stable owner.

But who knows anyone else got theories?

I think the first point you make is bang on the money - but the rest, I'll have to wait and see. I came up with so many ludicrous theories for Broadchurch and True Detective that I was ultimately disappointed by both respective endings. I'm trying to keep a level-head and not invest too much in who I think has done it as of yet.

That said, it's clear that the Janine murderer wasn't one of the main gang of four, which leaves Eli and the stable owner Dominic as the main suspects. That said, it could just as easily be a parent OR a member of the Romany community.

Like you said, I think we're looking at separate killers.

I'm not smart enough to come up with theories about what's going on but it's interesting to see what you all think. :smile:

Okay yesterdays episode confused me a lot, lots of unexpected twists and turns but i had a feeling about the other cop but i didn't think he would turn out like this, they're trying to make us think that he's suspicious but i don't think he killed cal instead i think he tried to kill janine, they should question that little traveller kid, he may know who tried to kill her.

its clear ruth's partner was involved with cal and that chris kid in some way maybe sexually or or was involved with the cigarette thing.

yesterdays ep meant we could rule out Dom as someone who killed Cal he's up there with Janine now. what i gathered from yesterdays ep was not a lot but...
- i'm changing my mind about the ginger police office cal met up with 3 days before his death, i think that was ruth's partner and five days before, the person cal was going to meet up with i still think it was going to be chris but again it could have been ruth's police partner - its possible but i doubt it as Cal seemed a little upset the person wasn't coming anymore.
- i actually think that maybe ruth's partner was trying to help cal in the days before he died maybe cal got in too deep with some trouble, this idea came to me when i saw the trailer of the next episode.
- that traveller guy didnt try to kill janine, because in the episode before he said how travellers burn a dead travellers things so that it can't give them bad luck but he let that ginger kid keep that necklace - that's why he got arrested (that and the fact that his DNA was on it.)

thats all i have for now :biggrin:

The race scenes were beautifully shot - as was the final two minutes of this week's ep.

Gunna go out on a limb and say it... I reckon Caleb and James may have been gay lovers. Looking forward to episode 5 tonight. Over halfway through already!

Really enjoyed episode 5. Was really gripping. Probably the strongest yet. Looking forward to where it goes next.

i absolutely loved episode five especially the end with james. plus i knew there something about that romany girl, and who was she talking about? was that girl her? and now james joins the list with dominic and janine - they defintetly didn't kill cal. i think its possible that james mother killed cal, maybe she found out their plan, i mean the farm does mean everything to her and she wants james to stay with her and the farm, anyone feel the same?
