Which means we don’t discuss an episode till it’s been on tv

After that it’s fair game

Anyway

When a terrorist campaign threatens the capital over the summer, bomb disposal experts Lana Washington (Vicky McClure) and Joel Nutkins (Adrian Lester) are at the forefront of urgent efforts.

They discover a potiental bomb factory in a London housing estate

( whispers but is filmed near to blondesland)

Looks good

Love both Vicky and Adrian as actors

Not sure what next Sunday’s drama will be like

I am assuming Nabil Elouahabi has vitiligo, and if so it's nice no-one felt the need to cover it up.

WhatICallMyUsername · 27/02/2022 22:04

I just said to DH they probably commissioned a second series based on viewing figures, at least half of which was Mumsnet trying to figure out what was going on! You are sucked in once you've watched a few!

lazymum99 · 27/02/2022 22:05

Bring back Danger UXB

the80sweregreat · 27/02/2022 22:06

I bet she is pregnant in series two ! Heard it here first. The handbag will become a large baby bag instead.

Clawdy · 27/02/2022 22:07

Ah, right, a second series....

MabelMoo23 · 27/02/2022 22:21

Oh Karl!!!!!!!! You were fittie, but fairly obvious you were dodge

I think I've seen the "military man is disillusioned by the way soldiers are let down by the Power That Be and decides to become a terrorist vigilante" far far far too many times.

I get why scriptwriters like it - it explains the super-competent villain and they think that having a baddie with slightly relatable motives who the hero can do the sympathetic speech with at the climax makes for compelling drama. But seriously - how many times has this been done on telly/film? And how many times has it actually happened in real life?

absolutelynotfabulous · 28/02/2022 08:33

They could have done so much with it. I still don't get John's role - I'd guessed he'd be set up for the bomb in the lecture theatre but what about the one linked to the car/gas supply? That couldn't have been down to one person surely?

I liked the premise but they shoehorned too much into the end portion. And most of the characters remained flat and undeveloped throughout.

vjg13 · 28/02/2022 20:13

Blimey, there have been episodes of Scooby Doo with better plots! I still liked Karl compared with police boyfriend with funny mouth!

OnTheBoardwalk · 28/02/2022 20:53

Well that was rubbish

SheWoreYellow · 28/02/2022 20:54

I don’t understand why Karl did the other bombs. They had a bit of explanation that it was to ‘cause chaos’, but I don’t really get that.

AntAndDecking · 28/02/2022 22:56

^ agree - what was the point of that terraced street?

I was a bit worried she was going to end up back with the policeman again but it didn’t look like it from those last couple of scenes.
