I don’t apologise for the caps lock. I’m so disappointed.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey, what the hell was that ending?!

It was perfect. Of course it was. Buckles was just the last man standing in a line of corrupt cops. But...

Fuck me I'm deflated.

ScaredOfDinosaurs · 02/05/2021 22:46

Agreed. Still trying to process it. I think they are trying to leave it open for a possible s7 and deliberately went for underwhelming and bleak.

magicstar1 · 02/05/2021 22:48

I kept waiting for the proper big reveal...and it never came. There has to be a season 7 to wrap it up properly.

Caterinaballerina · 02/05/2021 22:50

I was really hoping for some flashback to why on earth Kate and Jo fled the scene of Ryan’s shooting last week.

TokyoSushi · 02/05/2021 22:50

😒😒😒

Thedogscollar · 02/05/2021 22:51

Too many loose ends still. Buckles is too stupid to be the main man he was the fall guy.

I'm sure they will be back with a series 7 to shock us all.......I bloody hope soGrin

Wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 02/05/2021 22:52

Dull. I nearly fell asleep

20viona · 02/05/2021 22:52

Iv waited all weekend for that shite.

AnneLovesGilbert · 02/05/2021 22:52

I’d have defended almost any ending bar Ted turning out to be bent. But what the fuck. Damp squib of all damp squibs. Crashing ruddy disappointment.

unchienandalusia · 02/05/2021 22:54

So shittingly underwhelming. Am so disappointed!

PinkiOcelot · 02/05/2021 22:55

What an anticlimax. Basically 💩!!

StoneofDestiny · 02/05/2021 22:55

Never guessed that ending, so clearly a winner.
Ripe for another series as they never gave an update on Kate, Steve or Ted at the end. All the other characters had that.

StubbleMeansTrouble · 02/05/2021 22:56

Bloody awful.

mollythemeerkat · 02/05/2021 22:57

Well Ted`s appealing his enforced retirement so that maybe leaves the door open, but I agree it was a bit underwhelming.

JeanneDoe · 02/05/2021 22:58

I was waiting for the "main ending" when Ted went back into Carmichael's office...
...and then saw there was only 7 minutes left and it wasn't happening.

Disappointing.

Surely there'll be a 7th series.

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 02/05/2021 22:58

Hugely disappointing.

Will s7 deal with whether Lomax is bent?

CodyBurns · 02/05/2021 22:58

It was incoherent rubbish. Obviously they want a new season but how long can they drag it out until people just lose interest?

MichaelBoltonsLeftLeg · 02/05/2021 22:58

I wonder how much they paid James Nesbitt to play a photograph on a computer screen.

RaspberryCoulis · 02/05/2021 22:59

I liked Jo's jumper and dog.

That was about all I liked though.

Copied from a friend!

S5 had an underwhelming ending too.

Grrrr.

Also yes to James Nesbit, wtf was the point!

Neonprint · 02/05/2021 23:01

I've been having a few days where I feel like the world is full of thick people. The reactions to this aren't helping this feeling. Did everyone just want guns go big bang bang? And a daft plot twist of an ending?

The reactions to this really show why our political culture is so crap. People are looking for simple explanations of a bad guy when that's not how things are. I thought the ending was really good.

Also no wonder so much TV is so shit if people are just looking for the type of ending you're all up in arms about not getting. Just go and watch the Da vinci code or any number of ITV dramas for that shit.

Neonprint · 02/05/2021 23:02

Basically this

Littlecaf · 02/05/2021 23:03

When they were waiting for the final man to be brought into the interview room and all the audience saw was the “prisoner” label on the back of the shirt.....I was shouting at the TV “please be Dot!” “Or Nigel!” But no.

Buckells!

This is surely not the end?!

22Giraffes · 02/05/2021 23:04

I'm so disappointed, I thought we'd be kept guessing right up until the end but nope, total anti climax. @mumsieof5 I'll be stealing that Grin
