Annoying bbc and itv have dramas at same time in same night but might watch this +1

A woman widowed 3yrs ago when husband supposedly died in a plane crash , and then she suspects he’s potentially alive ......

6 part drama

Yes, I think the Welshman/dog was a metaphor for Georgia moving on/breaking free. She said to Martin at the end "she's not lost" or something like that. Definitely not needed though as added nothing to the plot.

I was pleased the little girl was rescued but the rest of it was a bit meh after the revelations in the penultimate episode the night before.

Hmmmmm crappy ending tbh :(

All loose ends tied up quickly

So will agreed to blab about Judith and she cops it as general killed his self

She gets a daughter

They live in the snow

Tho would have been perfect if she opened the car door And called Nigel

Cd was her godfather

Ok, so sheepdog man was after Georgia had got back - she is wearing the bracelet.

But. Here is the mystery. When sheepdog man knocks, Georgia seems to be unpacking stuff from the boxes - why, as she was already living in the Powys hut? Why had it all been packed away.

Then Charles Dance turns up and Georgia is plainly moving out. Does horrid sheepdog man make her realise she doesn't want to be "hiding away from life" in the shed anymore - not my view of it, but ykwim - doesn't like giving up and so on? So she arranges to move back to the rather nice house in whereever it is, make a new life etc?

(Still a mystery how she's earning a living)

I'm glad I found this thread. This series got worse as it went on and I hated the white saviour bit at the end. I didn't like the fact she took the girl out with her. I was distracted completely by Kate's frozen features - seeing her cry was painful. What a waste of time!

deadsexy · 01/05/2019 23:26

Yes to to white woman that haunted the general, who was she?

deadsexy · 01/05/2019 23:27

Oh yes that too, what were they mining for that gets used in our phones?

captainpantbeard · 02/05/2019 06:16

cathay me too.

How she single handedly was taking on corruption in the DRC where no one else could.

How the girl said “thank you” when she met Georgia again Wales. Then “you don’t have to thank me” = actually, you do have to thank me or we wouldn’t have made you say it.

I was shouting at the telly!

Sonicknuckles · 02/05/2019 15:45

The white woman was the generals cleaner I think. He was a psycho and probably killed her

CatManIsInHisDressingGownAgain · 02/05/2019 15:51

I enjoyed this at first but then found it quite hard going. I actually nodded off during the last episode and just caught the bit where she was leaving the hut and saw the dog. I'm not going to bother re watching the last episode because quite frankly I don't care enough about the characters. Kates frozen face and over bouncy ponytail was distracting. As PP pointed out in reality we'd all look like death warmed up after what she went through but the glowing skin and salon hair just really p'd me off. I normally look forward to the BBC/ITV dramas but the last few have been dissapointing.

Much as I love a drama, I think they're coming too thick and fast these days. Quality sacrificed for quantity.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 02/05/2019 22:52

I could only half watch it as I was so distracted by her fake swingy pony tail Hmm

What was the relevance of the blind couple?Confused Did I miss something major?

purpleme12 · 02/05/2019 22:57

The blind couple seemed a bit redundant in the end to me too?

ballsdeep · 02/05/2019 23:04

The biggest pile of shite on itv.

Why wrr the blind couple there

If wills dad had found his son was alive, surely he would be happy and at least hug him

Why was the Welsh man there?

Yawn.

purpleme12 · 02/05/2019 23:23

Will's dad?

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/05/2019 05:43

Charles’s dance wasn’t wills dad

He seemed to have no parents as neither did Georgia

Blind couple I think was to say that Ariel has been on that flight and lost his soft but no one knew he had been

Absolutely! I can only watch one 'now' and one on +1 - I don't have internet at home and sometimes (though rarely there are more than 3 things on at same time I want to watch. I later find out some of them were repeated (not plus one but on another day -but that is rare!). I too was fascinated by her frozen face, bobbing ponytail and how the hell did the girl turn up to presumably be adopted by her without her knowing about it???!!!!

SymphonyofShadows · 03/05/2019 10:16

The car blowing up confused me. It was obviously Belo but was it done to kill the guy who died in it, or was it meant for Georgia? Will was up to his neck in that, as it was the same model and colour of the car she drove him to the airport in, down to having a glove with the ‘go home’ message.

Pauperlil · 12/05/2019 23:01

I got confused at some points what happened to the blind guy ? The last episode he wasn't in it or mentioned ?!

purpleme12 · 12/05/2019 23:10

He was killed by the man that took him away

Pauperlil · 12/05/2019 23:24

Thank you

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 13/05/2019 06:43

Pauperlil you knew that Ariel had died because he appeared as one of the ghosts taunting the 'General' in episode six.

Pauperlil · 13/05/2019 07:43

Yeh I knew he died after I saw his ghost but but I totally forgot how, and I still only vaguely remember the episode when he was taking etc 🙈 I had long gaps between episodes as well, which didn't help my memory. It was far fetched and I did get confused in some parts 🙈
