    All four ridiculous, well-played, well-paced episodes slip down a treat. There’s nothing hugely earth-shattering or innovative here – apart from the sheer volume of plot contained therein – but you will have fun. That much I promise you.

    y the time it wraps up, viewers including myself are likely to find themselves feeling slightly underwhelmed, given the fantastic build-up. This is not to say that The Guest isn't worth a watch. It is, even if only for Creevy and Myles's terrific performances. It just feels like it bit off a few more mysteries than it could perhaps chew.

    As The Guest unfolds, piling psychosexual twists on top of one another like some deranged game of Jenga, the plotting gets ever-sillier, the actual point of it all more and more unclear.
