Next week needs to be two hours long, never mind an extra ten minutes.
I now think Ryan is contemplating killing TLR. That would be tragic. Sweet, confused Ryan, on the cusp of adulthood, ruining his life to get revenge for how it began. It would really show how TLR's actions, but also the bitterness of vengeful feelings, have poisoned Catherine's family. I'm starting to feel that perhaps it would have been better for Ryan if he had been adopted as a baby, instead of being raised among all the damage and resentment and secrecy. Or at least it would have been healthier had Catherine moved away with him to somewhere not connected to all the misery.
Every word Ann said was right, but it was still hard to see Ryan learning all those truths. I actually thought Ryan's reasoning for visiting TLR was justifiable.
Why is no-one worried about the safety of Ann and Daniel? Why aren't they worried that TLR will probably know where Nev lives? Richard leaving Ryan at his house and Catherine not immediately fetching Ryan the second he was back from Leeds felt like a repeat of the unlikely scenario of allowing him to cycle home alone from school in the first series. Nobody was behaving like a psycho was on the loose. There were more solicitous of Neil's safety than Ryan's.
Catherine's righteous anger is tipping over into wallowing in grievance at the moment. I have a feeling she might come to regret it.
Didn't feel likely that Darius was doing his own grunt work. That character isn't working.
I loved the PE teacher storyline to begin with, but it now feels like there isn't the space to give it the development it needs and that it should have been cleverly integrated into the TLR stuff. I feel a bit short-changed.
Busting TLR out just to have him sitting around a dingy room seems a bit of a waste of an episode.
