    I think there is a final episode to come with a twist - Dad was only covering for son.

    But did son do it, or did Dad just think he did? Too many loose ends.

    Two things I didn't understand:
    Why introduce the kid's argument with the postman, which you saw on screen but the postie denied ever happened, and then leave it unexplained?
    How did the slug get into the house?
    I assume that the Vicar will be shagging the hotel owner though.

    It was the psychic bit which wasn't explained that was odd. And the slug of course.

    another series? how? unless its about the the court procedings and theres a twist, remember tennant got to this stage before it went tits up and the bloke was set free, he did say He would never close that case so maybe now hes off the force he can go back to it. just hope it dosnt turn into another midsummer with a murder everyweek.

    When she returned to her house to collect her things when the forensics team was there, did she step on a slug in her living room ?

    She did
    Was there some significance in that ? Seems very odd !
    The show's creator Chris Chibnall insists one of the little clues as to the murderer's identity was the slug that Ellie squashes in the finale. The slug was first shown on their carpet in episode two - a metaphor that there's an intruder in the house.

    Aah of course, how unobservant & obtuse of me :-)

    New series has just become very interesting............

    Maybe Joe Miller did not kill Danny after all?

    Perhaps he's claiming accidental death and that's why the body is being exhumed.

    He confessed though didn't he on tape? Explained all that happened which matched up with the evidence/forensics.

    Bit odd.

    In the annals of TV cop duo history has there ever been such an incompetent pair as Miller and Hardy?

    They are so utterly useless at their job, I'm surprised the writers didn't call them Laurel & Hardy.

    I know it's just a TV show but there's just so much that's inaccurate (why are all the witnesses in the court case sitting in court ?) and improbable in this new series, definitely not as good as the last.

    Exactly what I said to my wife last night, and the exclusion of the confession suits the storyline but the way it came about was poorly done. Will probably watch next week but if it doesn't pick up we'll be focussing on Foyles War, which is brilliant!

    The one I have the biggest problem with is the young journalist. Surely he can't be a witness and be writing a live blog about the trial.

    The concept of the defending Counsel, presumably on legal aid doing their own leg work around the murder scene is just laughable. (Almost as laughable as what the pathologists get up to in Silent Witness.) Thankfully the BBC only try to do drama and not solve and prosecute crimes.

    After a very good first series, it has reverted to ITV trash.

    Not a patch on the first series so far. Hope it improves.

    Absolute pile of shoite, loved the first one, couldn't wait to watch every week.

    This series, IMO is a shambles, terrible acting, unbelievable scenarios.

    I just love Eve Myles, I would rather be in her than be in the Army.
