4 things that pissed me off (spoilers)

1. What happened with the crooked officers in season 1? Why even start the storyline of Gibson and the detective she slept with if they weren't going to follow through?

2. Why tease us with a hint of a lesbian encounter and never revisit it again!

3. In season 3, the lawyer hears a noise, they fade out and never say anything about what happened. Even if it was nothing, they should have showed us.

4. Every person that went to Gibson's room for an errand, why did we need to see those scenes?
They added nothing to the story.

I enjoyed the series but I feel like if the seasons had more than 6 episodes they could have covered alot.

1. What happened with the crooked officers in season 1? Why even start the storyline of Gibson and the detective she slept with if they weren't going to follow through?

Ditto. This really bugged me.

2. Why tease us with a hint of a lesbian encounter and never revisit it again!

I agree. Why even have it at all? Was this going to advance the plot? If so, why wouldn't potentially repressed urges be brought up in Season 1 instead of Season 2? Seems like pretty cheap storytelling.

3. In season 3, the lawyer hears a noise, they fade out and never say anything about what happened. Even if it was nothing, they should have showed us.

Now you're splitting hairs.

4. Every person that went to Gibson's room for an errand, why did we need to see those scenes?

Didn't bug me.

I'm not sure why the lesbian thing is something that needs to be worked out or have a whole subplot that needs to be resolved. Stella is a sexual woman who has some level of attraction to women. It's a trait of hers and doesn't need to be addressed.

Because it was boring.

Who cares, it was just to show Stella was carefree.

I would have loved to have seen them explore that relationship more. It didn't seem boring to me. Stella's character is very dominant and I would have liked to have seen that in her personal life as well.

Because these programs have to include some type of LGBTQRS sub plot in order to be considered for a BAFTA. They have guidelines now and it doesn't seem to bother any of the writers.
