good viewing,

[marval]

Yes, I liked it.

[Psybbo]

I really enjoyed it, I just wish it could be a complete episode each night

[Baldric]

OH is watching it,
I couldn't get into it last week, didn't even try tonight, just went into the dining room with the radio!

[Mrsspagnoli57]

Pretty underwhelming imo-not one I'm going to stay with.

[black_cat51]

i liked it, ans was truly surprised at the outcome, although t didn't really explain how he knew who it was

[emmie]

i really liked it, i did think it was the girl though, from the first part, i couldn't understand much of what Brian Cox was saying.

[black_cat51]

i had the subtitles on! Basically all he said in he first episode was that it wasn't his day for lerwick

[emmie]

he said a bit more in the second episode, but much went right by me

[pips1]

I tried to follow it this week with great difficulty as I simply couldn't remember what happened last week. I agree with emmie, a lot of it passed me by.

[black_cat51]

well i must admit when they were talking about the man she was sleeping with i didn't even remember him from last week!

[zebo]

I thought last week that the man she was sleeping with was the murderer, on the grounds that he was flashy and all the rest seemed down-to-earth, stereo-typing or what! Did she murder her because they both fancied the same man, it didn't seem clear, the sound seemed to match the landscape, something I also though during the Scandinavian who dunnits.

[black_cat51]

no, it was because the younger girl really liked the man and wanted a relationship with him, but the older girl was trying to expose him as a sleaze

[Backdrifter]

Mrs Backdrifter and I watch it mainly because we have spent lots of time in Shetland and love it, so we enjoy spotting the various locations. But we find the programme itself a bit dull. I think they're hoping it will be a UK equivalent of the popular Scandinavian crime dramas. Well I suppose Shetland is the bit of the UK that's geographically closest to the Scandinavian nations.

The woman on Perez's team is amazingly annoying. Those facial expressions she pulls...

[black_cat51]

i didn't think it was actually filmed on shetland!

[aelmpvw]

thought it was quite entertaining but could have been done in an hour!
