I think that after Undercover and now this, I shall go to ITV3 and watch re-runs of Midsomer Murders.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 18/05/2016 10:10

I'm so confused. There were too many people in it.

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 18/05/2016 10:22

I dreamt of it obviously my poor brain is overloaded with the confusion Confused

I think they have tried to make it too much like the Nordic noir series Bridge etc but the series isn't long enough so we don't really get to know the characters in any depth and we are left confused at the end of the series

MyLocal · 18/05/2016 10:29

Like everyone else I am baffled and there are loads of loose ends. I was tempted to watch them all again on replay because I thought I was being thick, but in view of everyone else's comments I won't bother.

PartyShitter · 18/05/2016 11:20

Why would Henry confess to all of the killings? They only had evidence of the May killing. For all the effort and time he put into each killing, sorting out alibis etc., seems odd to then give up and confess to all! Especially when the May murder was the only one different to the rest. Bizarre.

It does seem like when M is under attack she blacks out and gets super strength to defend herself and then goes a little extra cray with her sandwich bags. Which would explain what happened to grace what with M being covered in blood and moving the body but then we know Henry killed grace so none of it makes any sense! If grace was killed with the handy bag-head method, why would there have even been blood on M?
Arrrggghhhhhh make it stop!!!

So confusing. So many storylines unresolved.

So when Marcella went into Grace's house at the end of Ep 1 and saw someone there was it Henry? I thought they'd do a couple of flashbacks.

I did like to one laugh in the whole series when they asked Henry if he'd killed Matthew and he said 'of course not, he's my best friend'.

GypsyFl0ss · 18/05/2016 13:47

Gave up half way through and have tried again to finish it. What a pile of bollocks it is.

RaeSkywalker · 18/05/2016 14:37

Well I was right about Grace being the true target and every other murder ending there to 'hide' hers.

So many questions not answered. Don't think I'll bother with the next one.

SuckingEggs · 18/05/2016 14:43

How anyone coming into it fresh (for a second series) will understand any of it is mind-boggling!

lem73 · 18/05/2016 15:14

I thought Anna Friel was great but she deserved a better storyline. I just kept watching for her really.

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/05/2016 17:00

Welcome mango

I like a recap :)

madmother1 · 18/05/2016 17:01

Well, thank god that's over and also Undercover. What will I watch now? Sewing Bee and In the Club Smile

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/05/2016 17:06

Agree too many loose ends

The taxi driver being shot

As well as blackouts

I assumed we would see Excatly what happened - but like murser in paradise - then see henry kill grave and M move her etc

Plus if has blackouts shouldn't be allowed to drive - just like maya in
Undercover and her fits

squoosh · 18/05/2016 17:12

So did the creepy Eastern European lodger actually kill himself? What was the point of him?

BitOutOfPractice · 18/05/2016 17:16

Yep, once again, lots of loose ends

The tax driver...how did the killer know about him? And why did he shoot him (not his usual MO)

Why did Grace move the body?

Why did the baker have a stab wound?

RaeSkywalker · 18/05/2016 17:17

I don't know squoosh. Not sure what the dog thing was about either? Was flipping horrible and didn't seem to serve a purpose?

GypsyFl0ss · 18/05/2016 17:46

The surviving taxi driver came to this country to escape the police in his own country. I wonder if the shooting was a contract hit on him but they got the wrong guy as they'd swapped for the night? Having said that he went to Marcella to find out who did it and surely he'd be suspicious if it was a contract killing. Oh I don't know!

squoosh · 18/05/2016 17:50

Oh I'd forgotten about the poor dog!

squoosh · 18/05/2016 17:51

I thought when Marcella came out of her haze in last night's episode that it meant she'd been the one tying people up and suffocating them.

mamapants · 18/05/2016 18:02

Lots of people are asking about the baker.
I thought that had been all cleared up that he was breaking into peoples houses to steal things, got interrupted and stabbed by owner. Nothing to do with murders except to make clear he was leaving Cullen alone, so Cullen did not have an alibi. Or did I invent that?

squoosh · 18/05/2016 18:06

I forgot about the baker too. Blush

I failed at Marcella!

SuckingEggs · 18/05/2016 18:40

Wonder if she's wreaking revenge for Juliet?

windygales · 18/05/2016 19:24

I think mamapants is write about the baker

windygales · 18/05/2016 19:25

Right

GypsyFl0ss · 18/05/2016 19:39

Was the dog just to show that Bendic was a wrong 'un and not to be crossed?
