It is a contemporary political thriller: Afghanistan, the Home Sec’s policies, terrorism are all linked and relevant. An animal rights campaigner would make it a different story.
As well as women, many leading ‘goodie ‘ women were racially diverse. The woman who did take his kids out of the carriage, policewoman, journalist etc
I wonder whether we will get any main storyline black characters? Or just a smattering of bit parts?
I was watching with an irritating relative who kept obscuring dialogue with ‘I can’t hear / understand / folllow’ and thereby making it harder. So can anyone answer these questions for me?
How did he know the train had received an alert warning and there was a suspected terrorist on the train?
Was Sandra a genuine train guard?
Why did his exDW invite him to stay so invitingly after he dropped the kids off, why did he refuse, and what did he do so wrong in ringing to chat?
I don’t think he is connected to Nadia in a terror conspiracy: his first interactions with her were unobserved. It was a great put up act if neither were actually surprised to see each other.
I actually didn’t believe the logistics of the returning home and dropppng the kids off. All passengers off the train and stranded. Train on track and I doubt they would move it quickly in case of forensic evidence. So bringing another train or arranging coach travel for passengers. Presumably all passengers would be screened as potential accomplices and logged as potential witnesses. He would have been rushed to a specialist de-brief suite, not just hung around for a bit to give a ‘statement’ with the kids sitting on a chair in the corner! Surely knowing what her kids were caught up in and him being whisked off for intensive de-brief in the middle of the night, she would have gone to collect the kids?
I am hooked, though. Enjoying it.
