undercover BBC1

[Dolly2404]

Anyone else think this looks good?

Quietattheback, I agree with what you said up thread:
Maya, who is set up to be this brilliant mind with a fierce heart ended up just being dazed and confused for the majority of the time and needed the Men to come in and sort it all out for her

Yes, I thought she was going to come up with something amazing in the final court scene - but it was all rather pathetic

Yes, I think it was so disappointing because there was a great cast, some really interesting ideas including an amazing female lead role but overall it was a poorly executed drama. Judicious editing of the story could have produced a really gripping 3 parter, there just wasn't enough substance to inflate it through 6 episodes.

"It was almost as if a very vital scene which explained everything had been missed out by the editing team."

I can only assume you're right on this, because I'm struggling to believe Lester and Okendo would have read the scripts and signed up to a load of bollocks. It wouldn't be the first time important things ended up on the cutting room floor, it's the reason I like watching 'deleted scenes' on DVDs, they're often quite illuminating!

Pure unadulterated. Tripe
Good actors wasted on a completely non sensical ending.?

In the end they didn't really explore the affect on the woman of discovering she was married to an undercover copper. It was more about the silly conspiracy cases

Another thing annoyed me. Maya was able, to walk away from work at the drop of a hat to go to America.
And always managed to get flights etc to be where she was needed no problem.

And... If I came face to face with the person who just shot my son I wouldn't be having a quiet conversation with him about why he was out!

I missed the first 30 minutes last night. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED IN THOSE 30 MINUTES - i might then make some sense of the story.
Wails.
Why was Michael important ? I know he died / was killed. Apart from being the reason Maya rushed off to US at the drop of a hat.
If Rudi knew who killed the mayor why did he not tell ? Why was the mayor so important ?
Did he not whisper that he had done it to Maya when he was freed
What was he to do with Rudy ?
Who was the paedophile ?
When was that?
Was the writer on something ?
Was the commisioning editor on something when accepting the story for production?
So mean of the Beeb to put on a series with no denouement.
Rant over.

Instead of asking someone to type a whole 30 minutes of TV out laboriously holly, wouldn't it be easier and more satisfactory to watch it on iPlayer? Sorry if that sounds snippy but surely that's a better solution if you're that desperate

Holly, we don't know.
I strongly suspect the writers don't know the answers to your questions either.

Holly, read the other posts - none of those questions were answered in last nights episode. The first 30 mins were no more illuminating than the last.

Holly - I promise that there was nothing in the first half hour that would shed any light on the second half hour, in fact I can't even really remember what happened as it was so clunky and disjointed.

There was some shagging.

BitOutIfPractice you may have missed my post where I wrote that I was not living in the UK and was unable to access the BBC iplayer.

Well that was all very strange. I don't think I am any the wiser, I had hoped you lot were going to enlighten me!

That link took me to a trascript of Marcella, Rosie !

Finally watched :)

Not sure why /how the Scottish man got out / is he really that big fish !!!!

My take on it - the Mayor was a paedophile or into drugs and sad going to
Blab - that's why MICHEAL killed him

He then got killed so he couldn't tell anyone

Shame on mummy a knowing he was a mule yet still questioning his death 🙄

Rudy was friends with MICHEAL. His friend betrayed him by allowing rudy to be the scapegoat

This is why rudy said he deserved to die - as he knew MICHEL killed the mayor / who he was being blamed for his death

So kinda justice that MICHEL was killed as he killed the mayor

Clever blondes 😇😇😇

Or am I totally wrong 😁😁

Holly. Yes I did. Look it up on Wikipedia then. There's an episode by episode guide.

Bitoutofpractise Wikipedia doesn't give a synopsis of episode 6 yet.

I know dramas have to stretch credibility a bit to make things more dramatic but this series stretched it so far it could have gone twice around the moon.

Just nonsense - no-one in either the US Government or the UK Government would be that concerned about the death of a Mayor in Baton Rouge to undertake this level of conspiracy which would have to involve Government and Secret Services on both sides of the Atlantic and over such a long period of time. Ridiculous and disappointing.

Spot on.
