Sorry if I'm late to the party, but I've just seen this.

Can't wait to start (cancels all plans for the rest of the day).

Cannot wait to watch tonight, but so sad it's the last season they'll make.

I've finished as well.

Overall I don't rate it as highly as previous seasons (although that is a very high bar of course). It was a chance to finish everything off, rather than to develop new stories.

OMG the last episode though.....

I’ve just finished it. I mean I thought there were some absolutely brilliant moments but the ending was a bit mad for me.

There were a few moments where I laughed at the absurdity of the situations. I would also like to know the identity of the person in the final scene.

Still loved it though.

Florelei · 08/09/2023 19:01

Kano is absolutely brilliant. As was Ashley Walters tbh. Both completely believable as complex characters.

SaltedCaramelIcedLatte · 08/09/2023 23:12

Couldn't stand Dushane towards the end of the series, he really irritated me.

Kano as Sully was absolutely brilliant!

I really loved how complexed Jaq was - bloody brilliant actress!

SPOLIER ALERT

There was no way Aaron would have left Steph 2 go in 2 home!

Laurens story line was a bit shit as well

Dushane would never have killed Geoffrey without cleaning up the crime scene

Jaq was too loyal to steal from Sully...they had a different kind of friendship!

It all felt very rushed

I don't believe Curtis's sister wouldn't be looking 4 revenge!

I have so many questions!

TheBeautifulTeapot · 09/09/2023 13:38

I binged this too quickly 😩

Might have to rewatch the whole thing from the start (for the fourth time!).

Agreed with the plot holes and I found it a bit predictable.....except the final scene. Where was social services after Lauren died? Surely they'd be looking into how was guardian for the nameless baby?

Found it a bit cheesy at points, which I can't remember ever feeling in previous series.

Still bloody love it though!

ShyCity · 09/09/2023 17:12

Just binged this and wish it wasn’t ending. It feel a bit rushed towards the end and there were a few plot holes, but I still loved it and want more! Jac is my favourite character. Brilliant actress.

DarkPsy · 09/09/2023 17:36

Just skimming this thread as I'm watching the last episode tonight!

I absolutely LOVED this show and think it's one of the best things on Netflix right now. The wardrobe, scenery, soundtrack, and the acting is just superb. Daves's performance as Modi in an earlier series was outstanding, Jaq, Shelly, Mandy, Jason and so many interesting characters.

I think the show belongs to Kano. He's an incredibly talented actor and those big, expressive eyes show pain, anger, grief, and determination so well. The scene with Jaq after Lauren's death was so well done. I'm not ready for it to end! 😭😭😭

Made4Sunshine · 09/09/2023 17:36

I binged it too TheBeautifulTeapot
Where did Lithe and Lizzie go ? It seemed the plot was really rushed .

PictureFrameWindow · 09/09/2023 22:56

Same thoughts @SaltedCaramelIcedLatte! Yet still a brilliant show. The cast are incredible!

I also thought that about Dushane killing Geoffrey, he wouldn’t just pour a bottle of bleach and leave it at that?

Maybe Stef persuaded Aron to go? Even though he was younger, he felt his brother deserved a different outcome than Jamie?

I also wondered if Curtis family might reappear.

I’d love a spin off starring Jaq!

ShyCity · 10/09/2023 18:41

A spin off starting Jaq would be brilliant!

Obviously I want her to live happily ever after with her girlfriend and Lauren’s baby…but first she could take over the drugs empire and give us another season. Grin

TibetanTerrah · 10/09/2023 18:45

Just finished it. Was a bit Confused at some parts PPs mentioned. Dushane being so sloppy, so sign of Lizzie or Curtis' family etc.

There's been rumours of a crossover with one of the Power spin offs which got people excited.

ShyCity · 10/09/2023 18:52

Oh, don’t tease me! Jaq versus Tommy Egan would be beauuuutiful!

I was thinking that as soon as I posted Grin

Pippin2028 · 10/09/2023 20:23

Definitely could have done more with the Irish characters, that seemed like it could have been developed so much more, even in summerhouse they had a great plot with the Albanians stealing the drugs and sully getting it back.
Have a slight crush on jaq and becks!
Lauryns story was very sad, suprised we heard no more from the Liverpool gang.

It wasn't the best season, I definitely think dushane should have ended up in prison and sully had made too many enemies over time to not end up dead at some point.

There was also talk in the media some months ago that they were some major creative differences with kano walking of set at one point so I wouldn't be suprised if they changed direction during filming. Also the guy who played Aaron (stefs brother) has popped up on tiktok saying he felt his character wasn't really been developed.

Also how did they not track down lithe and lizzie, dushane giving lithe all that money should have had something on her or knew he could be double crossed.

Thisisworsethananticpated · 10/09/2023 22:57

Well
binged it this weekend

without spoilers
I can’t see how they do another season

Thisisworsethananticpated · 10/09/2023 23:02

Agree there is no way Dushane wouldn’t have cleaned up
in previous series they had it down pat when they did an execution

anyone could have killed sully , maybe the guy he choked with a gun

God I love sully 🥰 and Jaq 🔥🙈

also the Turkish people smuggler , they wouldn’t have sent their men into that set up . Too risky

Thisisworsethananticpated · 10/09/2023 23:05

Also really liked the little Irish one !
when he asked sully if he meditates 🤣
