Watched the first episode & then deleted it from my planner. Didn’t like her or her husband.

May have it on in the background when I’m cooking.

I am suprised so many didn't enjoy it

Yes a tad cheesey that she gets let into police station and burns evidence / book

Tho as I said before she didn't touch the book so why did she need to replace it

None of her dna on it

Watched the first, am intrigued so just putting on the second episode.
Felt sorry for the little lad who said he hated his life when coughing up blood 😫

TheChosenTwo · 01/08/2023 19:34

She did put her hand on the bible, just shown in the flashback at the beginning of the second episode.

I rewatched when she went in the room and it was on the table and doesn't show her touching it at all

I double checked

I watched the first episode and while it was enjoyable enough, I don't know if I can be bothered going back for more.

Yes to Keeping Faith vibes. Although, I did like that ...

@WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout sorry to hear on besrest

I've had a quick google but don't want to click on too much as haven't seen it all as watch weekly /tv paced so don't want to ruin ending cod myself

But I can only find this

Clean Sweep is loosely based on actual events. While those events aren't specified, it's not hard to think of more than one case where a former criminal started a new life in suburbia, only to find their past wasn't as easy to move on from as they hoped.

Ah thank you @Blondeshavemorefun
i hope I haven’t spoiled things for you!

It seems in lots of instances the past always catches up!

Augustus40 · 05/08/2023 08:47

Just started viewing this today on catch up. May binge watch and see all 6 episodes this weekend.

This was on Irish tv earlier in the year. I watched the first two episodes but couldn't get into it. But I watched the last episode to see what happened in the end. Bold ( naughty ) I know!

I did get a little puzzled

So Maggie and Charlie killed a thug /b
Gang bloke years Ago and did a runner /changed name etx

Their friend got caught /killed and blabbed their fake names so hence know who they are

Maggie was preg. What happened to that baby

Why is her step son so horrible to her

Was he stalking his gf. Again confused why her dad saw him off

I did like him tripping up the bully boy who fakes coughed in cafe

the daughters class mates are obv immature and none have started their periods

Why did hubby get in a strop over possibly sleeping with him. Not yet

Yet he is shagging Fiona / his boss

I enjoyed it, but agree some of it was odd. Where is the baby she gave birth to? Are we to assume it was taken by SS? What relevance was the girls periods or the boys weird stalking of ex/girlfriend?

I agree.

Freysimo · 13/08/2023 08:38

Maybe there'll be another series to tie up loose ends. What happened to the daughter she gave birth to? I enjoyed it.
