It’s never a good sign when writers have to answer unanswered questions following a finale.

Zermatt · 09/04/2018 23:41

Really sounds from his answers that they were just making it all up randomly as they went along and that there’s nothing to read into any of it other than face value. I don’t think they’ll turn out to be planted memories. It’s just shite

LassWiADelicateAir · 09/04/2018 23:42

Oh and how on earth did the murderer get back into Nigel Planer's flat when he was on tour , brick up the body behind a wall , and make such a good job of it nobody noticed?

I feel like there are loads of unanswered questions and a lot of far fetched things that we are meant to just swallow. The single mum managed to find time to abduct quite a number of children and drive out to various abandoned buildings to carry out her dastardly deeds. And then manage to bury them in really obscure places - like in the lift shaft of her local nick - just how would she have managed that?!

TM71 · 10/04/2018 05:27

My first thoughts were also Edward.

catweasel44 · 10/04/2018 07:09

Well that was fun.

I can't work out the therapist. Didn't Marcella realise she wasn't violent in her fugue state but that it was Jason setting her up? (All a bit Girl on a train). And didn't we see a memory of Jason with Juliet? Was that all just a red herring?

And would she really think her children were better off with him if he'd set her up in that way?

minxthemanx · 10/04/2018 08:31

So the Radio Times article doesn't answer any of the questions about those characters...vet/girlfriend with tattoo? Nigel planer and other bloke? And anyone else who apparently had nothing to do with the main story.

lookingforbaubles · 10/04/2018 08:47

can the taxi driver be added to the list- what happened to him !

OutofSyncGirl · 10/04/2018 09:33

I'm also wondering how a midwife would be able to perform complex surgery like a lobotomy ://

catweasel44 · 10/04/2018 09:59

She couldn't. That's why they kept dying!

OutofSyncGirl · 10/04/2018 10:01

Ohhh I see. So she never actually meant to kill them?

Crispbutty · 10/04/2018 10:09

That’s 8 Monday’s I have wasted on that nonsense. Every week I hoped it was going to get better and I would understand it. It didn’t and I didn’t .

thelionthewitchandthebookcase · 10/04/2018 10:11

I thought that it was Edward who went to and squeezed the crying baby and in her head, being so traumatised by it, Marcella convinced herself it was her that did it (either that or Jason did) and so the memory came up like that. It explains Edward squeezing the mouse.

I actually really enjoyed that last episode! Can't wait until next series!

FawnDrench · 10/04/2018 10:17

I remain totally baffled.

A Marcellimerick -

There was this weird cop called Marcella
Who strangely became a street-dweller.
She chopped off her hair
Slashed her cheek - silly mare
Now she's in dire need of Bonjela.

CuckingFunt1987 · 10/04/2018 10:17

Why did the police not use Marcellus hair and blood thatvshe left in the sink in the toilets ? Surely that would have proved the DNA they had for her was fake ???

PuppyMonkey · 10/04/2018 10:19

Utterly, utterly wank. I really don't think I will bother with the next series where she becomes a caped crusader. Grin

So many red herrings

And how did the copper know she was there

Did she cause the fire 9 days ago

Why cut her hair off etc

And slash her mouth so looked like the victims from series nip tuck and their killer years ago - I do miss nip tuck

Edward def has issues - killing mice and cat/fox? Outside with his gf

OutofSyncGirl · 10/04/2018 10:29

I'm sure Marcella's first memory was going upstairs while the baby was crying and seeing Edward in her room?

MissEliza · 10/04/2018 10:53

Maybe it was a false memory as she didn't want to believe Edward could have harmed the baby. She went running to the hypnotherapist because she was starting to doubt Edward after what that loon said about him becoming an abuser.
Why did she slash her face? She looked so stupid.? I just can't watch the next series based on that alone.

catweasel44 · 10/04/2018 11:47

The face slashing was horrible and unnecessary. I got really confused and thought the necklace was something she's cut out of her face. It's still making me nauseous.

As for the fire. The fire was reported on the news when she was in the hospital/police station so they would have known that it couldn't have been her in the fire.

When they ran the DNA of the victim her name would have come up in the database and they would know it wasn't her. Presumably it then took 9 days to find her under a bridge.

FawnDrench · 10/04/2018 12:03

Random queries -

How come the hypnotist was open and available to Marcella at night time?

Why would seeing an address on a wine bottle prompt Marcella to go to that particular building and then miraculously discover the murderess?

Earlier episode - How did scrawny Jane overcome an adult male in a lorry, spike him in the eye, leave him dead, shunt the car on to the railway line and then scarper while also holding down a job and doing all school pick ups,

Why did the children always dress in their school uniforms?

Surely Tim would be cleared of embezzlement as he was duped into putting his signature on that document when Mya visited him at the Police station

How come Rav so conveniently espied Marcella going up the stairs.

I give up...

OutofSyncGirl · 10/04/2018 12:32

I also thought the face slashing was horrible, gratuitous and served no purpose to the story.

catweasel44 · 10/04/2018 13:01

Also, I thought the point of going undercover was to blend in.

It's hardly going to work well if the entire underground criminal network knows about the ex-copper with the Joker face.

catweasel44 · 10/04/2018 13:02

I also don't think any reputable therapist would see a client in that state, at that time of night, agree to hypnosis and then let them run off.
