No self-control. Enjoyed it immensely.
Not sure what ultimately happened though...
Norah saw Miri leave the lighthouse and Mandy follow.
She did not know who bludgeoned her husband but she nods at Miri in the police station and returns the tamigochi to Miri's room (although that was on the road not the floor?)
Either way, she moved the body/dumped it in the sea and confessed to killing him.
Mandy was on her way to confess.
Miri had a policeman say to her snark about a second offence.
The murder weapon is back as returns in the shop.
So...the main questions are:
Was John dead when Norah found him or did she haul him unconscious to the sea (post-mortem would show drowning with a headwound?)
Or Mandy had killed him with the waffle maker but Norah disposed of the body (post-mortem would show death by bluntforce head trauma then subsequent immersion in water?)
Who did Norah think she was covering for and was that always her intention or was it because she realised Lara was still important to Miri or that she knew her husband had been vile to Mandy?
Will Mandy ruin Norah's confession by doing her own?
Does Miri then get into trouble for not reporting the crime/aiding and abetting?
Does Norah end up in Bali? Is there extradition from Bali? Her ticket was ripped up/ will airports be on high alert?

Have I missed stuff by bingewatching when tired and is there going to be a third series?

Hope some of you have seen it all too. Brew Cake

A third series would be wrong !
It ended perfectly.

Loved this - watched the last three episodes in one go willing it to be ok for Miri.

It worked out perfectly. Norah knew it was Mandy and that Miri was there. She finds the tamagotchi. Out of love/homage to her own daughter she lets them be free. And possibly because she doesn’t value her own life any more. I hope she made it to Bali - the police were certainly hopeless so she might get there before they tell airports.

Alpaca scene was comedy gold.

Those alpacas were so sweet!

Newgirls · 08/09/2021 20:02

So sweet. And made sense of the hair crimping joke too

We loved it! Watched both series in one bingey week -,had never heard of it before!
Norah saw Mandy hit Boback w the waffle maker and must’ve chucked him in the water with her. Miri had run off by then for her date w Billy and was freaking out cos of the blood.
Norah saw the tamagotchi and didn’t want Miri to be implicated so took it back to the house (ok, spare key is a bit of ‘luck’ on her part!).
Obviously if you examine the whole prison/timeline thing there are holes, but it’s not meant to be realistic in that sense. Might not be set completely up to date either.
She knew what WiFi was prob cos someone told her, surely in prison they get to watch TV etc.

I've just finished both series - really enjoyed it. I hope there isn't a 3rd series though as I think it ended perfectly!

sweatervest · 15/09/2021 18:04

i have skipped straight to the end (of this thread) as i totally LOVE the programme but haven't finished watching it yet (fyi!!)
i totally prefer it to fleabag. (also fyi)

JacquelineCarlyle · 15/09/2021 20:11

I tried to love Fleabag but just couldn't feel it. Thought it was ok but not as good as everyone raved about!

Ihaventgottimeforthis · 15/09/2021 22:34

Just finished it tonight.
Nora walking away has a definite Usual Suspects feel to it, I think she gets away.
All the storylines were wrapping up nicely, I don't think a third series will work.
Loved Miri's parents dynamic and all the acting was fab, casting brill.
I reckon he was still alive when she pushed him in. Did we see bruises on her wrist when she was dancing in her hotel room?

Late to this...what a fabulous series and that last episodes was absolutely brilliant. Loved, loved, loved it. Characters were great, Janice and Tina were so funny 😂
