Heavy foreshadowing at the end, CI Osborne intoning "I will personally see to it that those enemies within are made to suffer the consequences" as the prison door closes on Jo. Of course that's what they want you to think.

Let me hold the trigger of your gun while you are also holding it!" was a bit of a mad move and also quite.... hott??I thought that part was skating on very thin ice in possible use stereotypical portrayal of repressed female lesbian longings and plotwise tbh

Ha yeah, this would be hilarious. Bung Jimmy Nesbitt a few hundred quid just to use a few pics.
I think Nesbitt's on record as saying he'd like to have been on LoD and him & Mercurio worked together on Bloodlands so wouldn't surprise me if this is some sort of in joke between the two

i also found that war room bit a bit weird, a spaniard cop with a go-pro streaming a raid to AC-12 just seemed a bit odd
On the other hand we now have an in-story explanation for lisping cop's lisp

i do not think we will leave the surgace of s6 with "in conclusion many coppers are bent and now in pokey, ted steve and kate are good not bad and moving on in their uncorrupt careers"
what we might get: "in conclusion ted steve and kate are now in pokey bent or not, here is a house-high osbourne made of gold in a gold hat laughing like an ogre for the press cameras"

It's got the ring of truth
I thought that part was skating on very thin ice in possible use stereotypical portrayal of repressed female lesbian longings and plotwise tbh
Yeah that's fair. It's almost like part of the script is pushing them this way, but Kate, through force of will, absolutely shuts out any spark of longing within her of any sort - as well as any recognition that Jo is bent even after she...... lured Kate to her death?!?!mixelpixel11@frickenfracken!21

We also learned that it's not neighbours who keep giving all this valuable forensic evidence, but the national ballistics intelligence service, Trish, you absolute fool.
Everybody needs good NABIS....We watch most things with subtitles - it's quite useful and helps me remember characters' names.
I have no concept of what Kate is or was thinking about Jo at all throughout this, particularly as you say, after genuinely luring her to death by Ryan!?

I'm still haunted by that scene in season 2 when Denton is refused bail and in the courtroom quietly says aloud in genuine despair "What about Bella"

Predict end-of-season twists
- Carmichael is good not bad- Hastings realises that ACAB and serves himself a Reg 15 notice
― Bignefs Proportionable (seandalai), Sunday, 2 May 2021 17:56 (three years ago) link
probably going to be record breaking (by recent standards anyway) event television viewing figures tonight, so I boldly predict Hastings won't be getting retired

Won't be able to watch it tonight, tomorrow is going to be tough.

Also the chief constable going on camera āthe public donāt want police officers to be held responsible for every little thing theyāve doneā COME ON
― Scamp Granada (gyac), Sunday, 2 May 2021 21:04 (three years ago) link
no, i think hastings principle was that him failing upwards and being the last person standing just by dint of not being at the centre of things was what enabled him, without really having any urge to power, to be the centre of things. he liked the money and heād just go along with it whenever it came along, and in the end that sort of thing, far more than superbrain conspiracy, is what brings corruption. dismal episode and i think the last two series have been fairly feeble compared to the high of S2. but as i say, i liked that thesis.
― Fizzles, Sunday, 2 May 2021 21:05 (three years ago) link
Even worse āthe public donāt want police to be accountableā

no honestly i think S2 was incredibly tightly plotted with masterly control of viewer and character knowledge throughout. the last two and this one especiallyvtheres been no thing within the plot to unravel it. itās just been āoh we found a thingā.
