Good to see someone made a thread for this. Series from the Beeb come and goes so fast I'm sure out American cousins on neogaf can ever catch on. It's better than True Detective I'd say, best cop show since... the Wire perhaps, but more tense as a thriller. I guess you might compare it to State of Play, which Hollywood remade and some here might be more familiar with.
I do love these 5-6 episodes UK series, when done right they make use of the short form and have no filler whatsoever. Probably some of my favourite shows in 2015-16 shows like Line of Duty.
I loved the finale until about the last 20 minutes or so, the second from Dot sending that text. Horrible, Hollywood-esque nonsense.
And what the fuck was that getaway car doing? Just driving around in circles hoping Kate shoots?
Just watched the series 3 fianle. Never has one piece of music made me so excited in a trailer to watch the new series and fucking wow at the finale.
So that's what a three series arc done right feels like.
In all honesty I stopped watching after 10 minutes of S2E1 because I couldn't handle that camera technique when it looks to the side and zooms in super quick moving to the centre, it absolutely pisses me off, and they used it about 5 times in those 10 minutes. If they calmed down abit with it I might go back and watch the series.
Hilarious ending to the season opener. That episode didn't go anywhere I was expecting it to but I enjoyed it.
I've never gasped at the TV before but that Season 4 Episode 1 ending made me gasp. Wow!
Yeah, it's ridiculous but it's just so damn entertaining!
Also, I love how it tricks you into thinking you know where it's going and then it goes and does something completely different.
I believe a series 5 and 6 have already been commissioned too, following its success on bbc2, so I'm intrigued to find out how the current story line ties into the greater plot, or if it is the start of a new one.
I see I see, I did wonder what with the kidnapping being on the Borogrove estate which was featured previously, but I guess that would be a common locale.I believe they've said that series 4 is a new story and won't connect to the previous three series which had pretty much tied up all loose ends by the end.
It's a good jumping in point for people that haven't seen it before.

I hope we see another big arc over subsequent series again then, I really enjoyed the build up alongside the more individual plot points
I was keen on balaclava man being Roz's husband but now I'm not so sure after that, even though it looks that way, red herring?

Burning question for me; who's Jimmy Lakewell?
I am still wondering if there will be a flashback showing the fight with Tim, and the resulting bite/scratch on her arm. It's kinda weird that they've not done that.

The flashback will come at the very end in Roz's interviews I bet, just like series 2 with the Lindsay Denton revelations.I am still wondering if there will be a flashback showing the fight with Tim, and the resulting bite/scratch on her arm. It's kinda weird that they've not done that.
His lawyer, perhaps? Hesitated before because he wasn't sure he'd need him.
I don't think it's the husband, it would make no sense to do what he did in his own place of work, he would be implicated straight away. Plus his disposition seems too different.I first thought he was just cheating as his phone had lots of female contacts, but after that ending it's hard to say he's not balaclava man. They've already done the red herring with Tim, so I think it's real this time and I can't think of any other reason why he'd have the balaclava and bat with him and want to kill a police officer.
Husband Huntley seemed wayyy too panic-y to say that and then become Balaclava Man, imo. A nice spanner in the works.
