New drama on weekly for 5w

When a working class university student Hannah goes missing , then
Olive make an unexpected arrest of fellow student Tabitha

but she comes from a very wealthy family so the cps tread lightly

DI Paula Cassidy is convinced of her guilt

Duty solicester Cleo Robert’s fights for Tabitha as she doesn’t want her wealthy dad helping her {not sure why not}

As the police charge Tabitha , has she been false accused or is she really a calculated killer ………

[Blondeshavemorefun]

I didn’t even notice the peppers 😂😂

[BlueCowWonders]

I liked Talitha's obviously unlikeability. Ditto her father and in fact all the rich people.

I also appreciate the fact that although there's a young female victim we didn't see any shots of the body. V much hope we don't in later episodes.

We binged the whole lot. It stays good!

Yes the hint was enough

We didn’t need to see as such

T does seem a little strange. La la la over ears

Wonder why she doesn’t want her dads help so much

Shockingly sloppy at the police station. Custody sergeant not logging Talitha's personal items or getting her to sign them over, and the. longingly fingering The (unlogged) Bracelet. Chain of custody ring any bells ??? Interviewing police officers leaving the suspect in the interview room without removing the part recorded tape; people not identifying themselves orally on the tape as being present at the interview. Solicitor advocates (Cleo) don't wear wigs and hobnobbing with your CPS counterpart in a case on which you're both instructed is professional suicide and completely unethical. AAAARGH It would take so little effort to get it right even if it is 'only' drama.

The close up shot of the bracelet, makes me think it's too play a bigger part somehow

[Blondeshavemorefun]

She said it was worth more then his years salary

Solicitor advocates have been able to wear wigs since 2008:

Finished! I’ve started a binge thread here

[Mydogisagentleman]

I watched it this morning.
Strong first episode, I know nothing about chain of evidence or wigs, but I thought that the green scarf would be significant

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Yes the green scarf could be the murder weapon

Or be a —green— red herring

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Ffs epic fail

[upaladderagain]

On episode 4 and loving this.
Does anyone else think Cleo deserves a whole new series? Great character and real charisma.

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Hi. This is Weekly thread so we have only seen e1

[thecatneuterer]

Am I the only person who is unable to understand a word James (the CPS guy) says? I don't know if it's mumbling, or the strong accent, or both, but he may as well be speaking Mongolian for all I can understand. I've had to switch on subtitles just for him.

[shrugitoff]

Is James from Northern Ireland ?
I've no problem

[Blondeshavemorefun]

I always use subtitles

People mumble

Fingers over lips @Henrynextdoor 😂😂

[butterpuffed]

Really enjoying this, a definite step up on the recent crappy dramas.

[TMChappyascanbe]

I enjoyed the first episode. Agree Talitha is horrible and I would quite like to see her locked up even if she is innocent.

MPs son also looks dodgy.

[Blondeshavemorefun]

So do we think she is innocent

I think yes

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Watching 20m behind. Good old iPlayer

[StormyCornishSeas]

The fingerprints on that photograph mean something!!!

[Cherrypie32]

All the characters are horrible, apart from cleo
