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
― calzino, Sunday, 2 May 2021 18:17 (three years ago) link
Won't be able to watch it tonight, tomorrow is going to be tough.

Verging on Bodyguard levels of lousy script, plotting and acting.

yeah that was limp and poor and hinges on a mispelling and buckells just not caring. HOWEVER i *loved* that it was *incompetence* that was responsible for his power.

Buckells going NO COMMENT all interview and then Scooby Doo villaining it, like God Jed, did you write this the same week you did Bodyguard? Did you even read it back after you wrote it?!

Also the chief constable going on camera “the public don’t want police officers to be held responsible for every little thing they’ve done” 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 he’d 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 “the public don’t want police to be accountable”

It felt fairly ACAB, like, lol the police are bent, the few good ones are stymied at every turn and drummed out of investigations/work, the best you can hope for is witness protection or prescription drug abuse and broken marriage

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. it’s just been “oh we found a thing”.

I was a bit annoyed they kept referring to s5 so much cos I found it really boring, whereas the first few seasons (Gates! Denton! Dot!) are great. It really went off the rails a bit when they started doing that updated autopsy report “Dot actually was tapping away for a year, did ye not watch the footage or wha” shite.
