Loved this so much. Would have liked to see Jodie watching her icon going dahhhn.

Hastings is the best, if he turns out to be bent I’ll be very upset.

Considering how many hints they dropped about Nick being BM, and then him being 100% innocent, I’m going to hold on to my faith in Hastings. I really thought Hilton was going to get him sent down as the big H and then next season would have been all about proving his innocence.

Hastings looked like a proud dad when Steve and Kate narrowed the time frame and came back to work. <3

you’d be a bit irked wouldn’t you…hours and hours of watching cars on cctv…finaly you get to go home, just getting in your car and then ‘sorry lads! back to the office!’

There’s no way Hastings is the kingpin. It would screw the whole series concept up. They’ll give him some storylines which will show him as flawed and ambivalent, but not the main baddie.

They’re not supposed to be likeable. How can you have sat through all this and not realised that?

The lead characters, the good guys, those chasing the villians…course they’re meant to be likeable. It’s basic face/heel stuff isn’t it. How would there be suspense if everyone was a solid twat, the viewer’s got to be rooting for someone?

What in the shitting fuck are you on about?

Got to agree with you here, the show is schlocky fun so I want a baby-face to cheer on, I like Vicky McClure’s character and Hastings is good fun but that Arnott is a proper weapon.

The one that had an affair with her best friend’s husband and shagged him the day after she was killed?

#91

Just to be clear, we all know this series is fictional…

#92

Only watched the last two seasons

#93

I’ve worked out why you like her now. She turned up at your house with a bottle of wine last night and complimented your cat right? :wink:

If you’ve got Netflix then you really should watch the first two series. The first one sheds a great deal of light on the plotline of the one we’ve just seen and the second one was just awesome, stunning stuff from Keeley Hawes and Mark Bonnar. The only thing that could have improved it would have been having one of the cast of Drop the Dead Donkey in a lead role.

An annoying thing about this series, as much as it’s watchable fun, is the amount of people who genuinely claim it’s one of the best things they’ve seen. I wonder how much stuff they’ve watched. I like it, to a point, but i could easily name fifty better British TV dramas, or at least a handful from the last twelve months alone. Not wanting to be a miserable bastard, but we set the bar for stuff so low these days, and few people seem to be capable of gauging quality, just whatever they’re watching at the minute is the BEST EVER.

This was very good!

I love Hastings - the tension in the final scene at AC12 and Hastings was still calling Jamie ‘James’. :smiley:

bit silly though isn’t it - a couple of burner phones and a number on a napkin is hardly substantial evidence

Series 5 coming out 31st March. Steve has a beard!

My mum and I started watching from the beginning in prep. I’d not seen it before but was spoiled about Dot being dirty, so it’s been good fun noting all the clues from episode 1.
