Gogglebox sparks backlash for ‘ruining’ Line of Duty star’s Amazon Prime series
Viewers were not impressed.
Gogglebox has sparked anger from fans after showing the cast watching the Amazon Prime series Fear.
Fans of Gogglebox tuned into the show last night to watch the cast members enjoy some of the best TV shows from the past week.
Among the picks of shows included Married at First Sight Australia, Wheel of Fortune, The Americas, and the Amazon series Fear.
Fear is a three-part thriller series from Amazon Prime that was launched at the beginning of the month on March 4.
Fans and critics were raving about the British thriller series upon its initial release, and their enthusiasm was replicated by some of the Gogglebox cast – but there was one major issue for viewers.
Unfortunately, the cast watched the final episode of Fear – which meant that Gogglebox viewers had the ending to the series completely spoiled for them.
Mary and Giles appeared on the show with their input (Picture: Channel 4)Fans quickly took to social media to share their frustration.
‘Once again, massive spoiler. No need to watch Fear now #Gogglebox,’ saidPoppyblew.
‘For anyone who hasn’t actually seen the ending of ‘Fear’ just yet, or wanted to start it, C4 and Gogglebox would just like to say, Up yours #Gogglebox,’ said KissKissBBang.
‘Well there’s no point in anyone watching #Fear now, is there? Thanks #Gogglebox,’ said rozlaws.
Fear has been praised by critics (Picture: Katelyn Mensah)The series from Amazon stars Line of Duty star Martin Compston as Martyn, who along with his wife Rebecca (Anjli Mohindra) and their two children, move from London into a new home in Glasgow.
However, things quickly take a turn when they discover their neighbour Jan isn’t as welcoming as they initially believed.
Instead, Jan (Solly McLeod) makes unsettling comments to Rebecca and quickly becomes more intimidating and makes chilling accusations that are ‘every parent’s worst nightmare’.
Speaking to Metro ahead of the series’ premiere, Martin spoke about the toll filming took on him.
The series launched in early March (Picture: Fear/Prime Video/Amazon MGM Studios)‘My last scenes were emotional, and I was like, I have nothing left, I really have nothing left,’ he shared.
‘At first, I got really upset with myself and went back to my trailer and went “I f***ed that up.” But then I realised it was because I had nothing left. I had given it everything I had. I had rung every little last emotion out.
‘We had been shooting for seven hours but it’s still a mad feeling when I felt I couldn’t access [the right emotions] for that last take. I’m really proud of that scene now when it comes together.’
Fear is streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Gogglebox airs on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4.
