Enjoying it so far


I just happened upon this show and I'm so glad I did. I have enjoyed both episodes so far. Lots of twists and turns. The acting has been very good as well. Someone had mentioned having a problem with the thick British accents, but I don't find it that hard to follow along.

Any ideas on who the killer is? This may be too obvious, but I was thinking perhaps her love interest guy or the captain lady. I really don't think it's Gunner.

reply

I don't think it's the Captain. I don't think it's Gunner either (hope not), but, I do think he's up to something. Maybe he's undercover investigating or something. Could be O'Dowd

I'm enjoying it alot and intrigued by what's going to happen. Very rare for that to happen nowadays but there's two shows on at the moment where I'm hooked to find out what happens

I am surprised Philip Glenister was killed off so soon

reply

I'm not familiar with Philip Glenister's work (perhaps I should be). I saw another thread about him being killed off too quickly. Does he normally play leading roles?

Can you please share what the other show is? I'll probably enjoy that one as well.

Thank you

reply

Yes, Philip is normally abit of a leading man - Life on Mars, Prey, Outcast, Ashes to Ashes, Demons, Mad Dogs - so I found it surprising he was killed immediately. He was probably the most well known name in it

The other series I'm really enjoying is Paranoid. It's also on ITV. Some people may not be enjoying it as it's abit cliched, but, I'm hooked on it and can't wait to find out what happens. Incidentally, it stars Philip's brother Robert Glenister

reply

Great! Thank you. I'm going to check it out.

reply

It is abit cliched and the female detective is annoying but the story is interesting - the murder of a GP and the father of her child (bit more complicated) and Robert is doing great in the role. It's getting more and more interesting

reply

Funny you mention the female detective. I actually hesitated to watch it once I discovered she was in it. I have not liked her in anything I have seen her in, namely Luther and Human Target.

I just finished watching the first episode and really enjoyed it. Yes, Robert is a good actor. Still don't like the female detective (how can someone be unlikeable in almost every role they play??). Looking forward to the rest of the series and to figure out who did it.

Is it just me, or is that lady (I think her name is Lucy) a bit creepy?

reply

Yes, Lucy is abit creepy, but, she gets better and is likeable in episode 4. Nina, the female detective, annoys the snot out of me in episode 4. She must be the most annoying character on TV at the moment which is a shame as it's a good show and I'm desperately trying to work out who the killer could be

Did you see tonight's episode of The Level?. I want some answers LOL. I did not see THAT reveal about Frank coming at all

reply

Starting to watch it now. I will get back to you..LOL

reply

Really good and a shock reveal LOL

reply

Okay, I just finished watching it and it was great. The reveal was fabulous. It has elevated this show to a new level (pun intended).

I have to mention that while I was looking at the cast listing, I saw Philip AND Robert Glenister listed. Did you see that? Error?

I am definitely suspecting O'Dowd, but that may be too obvious. How does this Shay guy tie in to things? Frank's wife is also on my radar. The guy running the business (Duncan) is also very suspicious.

reply

Yes, that's a weird error about the brothers. Robert is in Paranoid. Strange mistake

THAT reveal just made it a great show because it adds layers to so many things - her relationship with Frank, family relations, the investigation

I think it's too obvious to be Gunner and I suspected O'Dowd but that could be too obvious now

reply

I agree.
Even the man Nancy thought was her father could have something to do with it. I wonder if he knows he is not her father and resented Frank. Perhaps that's also why their relationship is strained. This could be why he was abusive to Nancy's mom. So many possibilities.

I wonder why Nancy didn't tell her half sister yet?

I am definitely enjoying this more than Paranoid.

reply

Nancy may not have informed Hayley yet because of what the family are going through at the moment?

Sounds like we may not be satisified with the ending. Shame

reply

I'm hoping that's kind of a misdirection.

reply

And me. It'll be annoying if it's true

reply

Oh no. I haven't watched it yet! I can just imagine what sort of "twist" was thrown in.

reply

Next week is the finale, but, unfortunately, from what I've read I don't think we'll be satisfied

Have you seen tonight's yet. A couple of twists and revelations - which perhaps we should have seen. It's getting really good now

reply

Just finished watching it. I cant believe the series is almost over. I'm not that surprised by the ending. She was always a potential suspect in my opinion. But there must be more to that story. What do you think?

reply

Yes, can't say I was surprised by that twist. With Amanda Burton in the role, it's not surprising. She was cold and ruthless though

I'm torn. I'm desperate for the last episode to finally (hopefully) get some answers, but, I don't want to see it end as I look forward to it every week. And I'm worried we'll be disappointed after such a build up (and from what I've read)

reply

Well, well, what did you think of the finale?

Poor Gunner

And the mother is a right cow

reply

I just watched it. I enjoyed it for the most part. I really was hoping it wasn't Daryl for some reason.

Yes, I felt bad for Gunner. So, the captain did know that Nancy was the witness, right?

I wonder if there will be a second season. I like the idea of Hayley going under cover. Her mother needs to be stopped.

reply

Yes, I think Newman knew Nancy was the "missing witness"

I really hope we get a second series - Hayley's mother and Shay need to be brought down

Did you watch Paranoid?

reply

No, I haven't watched it for a while. I kind of lost interest (and I couldn't stand Nina). I will just watch the final episode. Have you seen it? Is it worth watching episode 8??

reply

Just watched it and I was torn

The drugs trial story (all those deaths) was just getting interesting and the reveal of Crowley's involvement was abit tense with Bobby - seemingly the only cop with half a brain despite his many issues - saving the day. But it was left open ended abiit (probably hoping for a second series) when it came to the main bad guy

On the other hand, the cowboy cops have yet another romantic comedy moment in the middle of a supposedly life or death situation was just so annoying
