It begins...
That's what makes the show isn't it? I was a bit disappointed in the first 3 episodes at the lack of interrogation scenes, then they more than made up for it in last weeks episode. Without those it would just be an above average cop show. Those interrogation scenes are so good because they take time, the acting is great and you focus in on every nuance.
I've missed the opening so I'll have to watch later on iplayer...

Holy crap, that was a crazy episode 
I still think this is the case. Can't think of anyone else who it could be.

I'm a bit surprised they've gone back to the corrupt cop Illuminati storyline after this season has been almost a complete reboot so far.
If there's a corrupt cop in Huntley's department, I can see it being her.
Assuming there's just one, I think it's him.

She's gonna be verrrry disillusioned in the next episode. Good candidate to go over to AC-12 in future?
I can't believe Huntley lost her arm, I did not see that coming
Also loving all the twist connections to previous series, excited to see how it all connects.

Mercurio did mention it was a lingering thread and he wasn't sure when they'd deal with it, I guess now if Mercurio says one thing expect the opposite
Spectacle Cop seemed so eager and innocent early on and now she's either staggeringly naive, or staggeringly corrupt. It would be pretty interesting if the end of this season heralds the biggest shakeup in the core cast. That bearded one from Huntley's Unit might be burnt enough to go to AC12 next
Just rewatched The Fugitive with Harrison Ford the other night and this reminded me a bit of that in a funny way. I didn't expect the one arm wo(man) and the sketchy friend from law school who would likely be the main bad guy here.
Not sure if the whole Maneet/Jamie thing will get resolved or hang over to next season, they probably don't have the time in the last episode and Maneet is out of the picture for now.
The 'H' being Hilton would be a bit obvious, mind.

Jodie is so annoying, I can't bloody stand her.

Oh man, this is just complete insanity. DCI Huntley is listening in on a lawyer-suspect conversation, the suspect who is her husband and she's doing this fresh from having her hand amputated due to an injury she hid from everyone. The only way this could have been crazier would be if her hand had fallen of mid-interview.

If anything this series showcases just how damn efficient our NHS is, with patients having amputations and going home the same day, and cracking skulls from falls, and getting back to work within hours. It makes me proud.

Look what you've done to your wife!
Binged watched series 1 - 3 and the first half of series 4. It's like a goddamn hybrid of the Tales of the Unexpected meets a Series of Unfortunate Events!
Non-stop rollercoaster of action where things keep getting worse for the main antagonist in an almost unbelievable way.
Genuinely felt sorry for Gates, Denton and Waldron.
BTW, I think we've all understood the "xyz has a right to be questioned by an officer at least one rank higher" by now!

So, spoilers beware and all that (nothing revelatory but still kinda major spoilers) but BBC have a 20sec trailer for the finale, here.
Isn't it just wonderful?
Yes it is!

Well, if the previous series are anything to go by then I'm thinking she'll get off...and then be killed by a
The last episode did quite well to make me feel sorry for her, for about 1 minute. She's had a terrible month.
The only time I felt sorry for her was when
that forensics guy was hovering over her with the chainsaw. I saw her eyelids flutter and realised that either: a. she's a really bad actress, or b. she's about to get the chop
I'd be happy if the last episode was entirely based around AC12 trying to figure out whether the husband is lying or whether DCI BadLuck is...

The first three seasons are all connected so I wouldn't advise skipping season 1. Season 2 is the best season.
BlazingDarkness
Member
No, Season 3 has a lot of carry over from the second
The show really hits its stride from season 2, so start with that one, absolutely
IMO (having not seen the final of this season yet) I'd rate them
Season 2 + Season 3
Season 4
Season 1
in order

Final predictions:
Jodie's corrupt.
Lawyer is Balaclava Man.
Ifield death flashback incoming. It isn't self-defence.

Yeah it was a strong series. My only real complaint was the lack of long interrogation scenes, there was really only one.
