    The Harrowing was without a doubt my favourite episode from the first series, it's sensationally dark, witty, and totally bonkers. You just know that as they were writing it they decided to go for all out horror, knowing no bounds, and it's plain to see that all involved enjoyed making it.

    I wonder if the duo had the same appreciation for Helen McCrory as I have, she is one of the best actresses around, she gets a great part, and delivers in her own inimitable style. All involved are great. It's visually brilliant too, the camera work and special effects are terrific.

    One of the most memorable, and one of the best. 10/10

    i am really starting to like inside no.9 . from the first episode itself i was hooked to this series. and there were ups and downs as i went through this series.And coming to this episode i sincerely thought this one had a good atmosphere. but having watched it fully, i saw some wasted potential. other episodes , except last gasp, had cool twist but this one had a real potential for a jaw dropping twist but sadly they have wasted that potential and created an usual twist ending that we have all seen before

    Overall this episode is good and has its moments but twist? no. is it good? yes of course my rating 6/10

    I've been enjoying this show, which I didn't know existed until it popped up on the "Britbox" service recently.

    The first five episodes of season one were enjoyable, each in its own way. This one started out like a lost "Night Gallery" episode (in fact, there are very strong parallels with the episodes "Cool Air" and "The Sin Eater."). As usual, the boys build up the suspense until we finally meet the monster upstairs. Creepy!

    Then we get the horror twist and find out what's in store for our protagonist (the actress who played Sophie on "Detectorists"). And that's it. The last 10 minutes add nothing to the plot; no final twist, just a girl about to be attacked by a guy who looks like Gollum in a Depends. Very disappointing. I even ran the ending back again to make sure I hadn't missed something, but no. I hope season two picks up the pace again.
