I wasn't impressed with the way it was going, had it series linked on my Freeview box and was going to delete it without watching the most recent episode but you've whetted my appetite now and I'll have to have a gander when I get home tomorrow night.
It was extremely well acted and very well directed but the plot got a bit too rediculous in the end. Seemed like it needed to finish tonight so it did come what may.
I'm not watching a second series if they make one, the whole dynamics of this series won't be there. Very good show though, thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
I thought it was a huge let-down - poorly scripted ending leading to a giant cop-out & a rushed finale. Well-acted (mostly) & produced, it deserved better, IMO.
We viewers can't be left knowing that we have another bent copper in DS "Dot" Cotton. He must be brought to justice, or walk in front of a truck. The Neil Morrissey character, DS "Nige" Morton is probably bent too, and not just his leg.
