TheGreenElves Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Was that the last episode? I missed the first half hour. Caught the rest and it wrapped things up nicely, while ending with the police lady thinking about her own situation after hearing from the mother of the serial killer. Aye. Each series is 6 episodes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Had the second series on skybox for months and finally watched it a couple of weeks ago. Brilliant from beginning to end and top performances from all the cast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Massive bump. Feel like this series has lacked something the previous ones have, but it's still about the best thing being shown at the moment. Sarah Lancaster is just superb. However the penultimate episode was on Sunday there and felt it was all a bit dull. Spoiler The PE boy finds the corpse in the suitcase but did he phone the police or what? Also think with Nev wanting to take them to Marbella which is were TLR is heading could he be in on the escape? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to the spoiler Spoiler TLR raped Nevs daughter in the first series so would find it unlikely unless he's being threatned. Still a bit of a coincidence mind you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Spoiler My thoughts on that are that it's possible the bad guys are either wanting to see the back of TLR and are planning to deliver him straight to Nev & friends, or Nev has somehow gained knowledge of TLR's plan and is off to Marbella with a squad of his own to deal with him.

Joe Terrapin Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Unpoular opinion time but I don't think series 2 or 3(yet) live up to the opener. It's like it's been written by a different person. First series I felt there was little filler, most scenes were relevant to the plot and the characters were believable and true but not getting it with the later ones. Still enjoying it but not nearly as much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Having thought about this a bit more - Spoiler It's been an ongoing theme that the people looking after Ryan have been stressing that he isn't necessarily destined to be like his father. There have been a few pensive shots of Catherine where she's looking at him and you're supposed to think that she believes Ryan is likely to turn out somewhat like TLR. I think it's beginning to dawn on Ryan that his father is, in fact, a complete psychopath, so I think that TLR will do something so abhorrent in front of Ryan that Ryan intervenes and kills TLR, making Catherine's worst fears come true and bringing the whole 'not like his father' thing full circle. And agree with those saying series three hasn't quite lived up to the first two. Edited February 5, 2023 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I only started watching this about a fortnight ago on iPlayer, just because I was bored one night and a colleague recommended it. I didn't know what to expect, but it has been astonishingly good. I am now fully up to speed and ready for tonight. I agree with others, though, that Series 3 hasn't been at the same level as the first two. The quality of Series 1 was always going to be difficult to replicate, though. Spoiler I have a sneaky feeling that Alison might have a significant part to play in the finale. She will undoubtedly feel some residual loyalty to Catherine, and I don't think she would have been brought back for Series 3 without having a bigger role planned for her than what she has contributed so far. Also curious to see if Clare seeks some sort of atonement for her role in facilitating Ryan's visits to Tommy in Sheffield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Well I thought that was a very decent ending. Spoiler I enjoyed that it was just Catherine Vs TLR in the end rather than a more heroic ending or stretching to something far fetched. I do think it was a bit obvious that they had filmed several endings as there was a few things we were being led to that never actually happened. But series 1 will remain the best of the three. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Thought it was a bit of an anti-climax personally, but I suppose that's to be expected given that the entire 3rd series hasn't really been up to the previous 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Spoiler I was basically expecting something of a replication of the cellar struggle from Ann's release, most likely with Catherine or someone close to her having to kill Tommy. But, with time, I think I will quite like how it has ended, even if it feels like a bit of an anti-climax just now. A couple of question marks still outstanding. Why does Poppy always keep on her coat? Is it a reaction to seeing her mother being abused, or has Rob potentially been abusing her too? Neil probably isn't dodgy, but there is still something nagging me about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Spoiler Spoiler Yeh it would have been good to spend a bit longer clearing up the pharmacist and all. Not sure what was wrong with poppy probably to do with the attacks on her mum, which is what the fractures were about. Yeh I thought Neil might have had some input tonight but basically him and the rest of Catherine's family don't feature other than Claire and Ryan A couple of question marks still outstanding.

Central Belt Caley Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Spoiler Felt like it was a bit of an anti-climax with TLR’s death announced via a text and 2 of the seasons main plotlines in the Teacher and the Pharmacist being tied up in a conversation between Catherine and the DS. (Possible they might have planned to/already filmed stuff around this and had to cut it down). Even though I thought it was a bit anti-climatic, it was still good and rate the whole show pretty highly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Spoiler I thought that was a deeply unsatisfying ending, felt like they tried to cram 3 episodes into one. Too many of the events just fizzled out with zero conclusion or resolution. TLR nonchalantly murders 3 guys, leaves their bodies on an open field and that's the last we hear. Faisal appears for 10 secs, Alison Garr mentions that her 'social worker' has access to hooky Diazepam etc, etc, etc............Would Catherine have gone into her house alone ? Of course not................sorry to be a picky bassa but after all the detailed buildup in the preceding 5 episodes, that finale was a serious damp squib, personally speaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Spoiler I thought the graveside ghost and 'go home, mum' was totally ridiculous. Fair enough, Catherine's earlier visions of her dead daughter as some sort of stress-induced psychiatric event, but a 'ghost' or 'presence'. Just naw. And the whole 'TLR' as a psychopath/recognises Catherine/Ryan's relationship and how his own life has been so different... jesus. That didn't need spelled out in such a banal way at all. It was almost like one of those American shows where they have to draft Morgan Freeman in to narrate a child-friendly summary of the plot for the benefit of the hard of thinking. If you haven't realised before now the TLR is a totally irredeemable narcissistic psychopath... The kitchen scene just felt totally like a watered down, half-arsed re-run of the two Catherine v's Tommy scenes in both previous series. Needless, frustrating, and totally unsatisfying to boot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squalor Vic Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Feel sorry for any show that has to end, it's almost impossible to please everyone and there'll always be backlash. I thought it was absolutely fine, thought the kitchen scene between the two was fantastic and overall Sarah Lancashire just knocks it out the park. Fwiw, I think season 2 was my least favourite of the 3 but it was tremendous TV overall and Catherine Cawood is just a great character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Spoiler I enjoyed the final episode but have to agree the ending juat felt a bit rushed to tie up all the loose ends. Was still enjoyable though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
