Did he see him in the boot though? The bloke talking to him said something along the lines of 'you probably don't want to see him' implying he was covered up (drugged, knocked unconscious?)
having started this thread a few weeks ago I have to conclude by saying that I enjoyed every twist and turn but think that it is a pity that they did not end the story and leave it. These days it seems once a TV channel finds a successful drama they then try and milk with additional series which rarely equal the original, lets hope that Broardchurch 2 does not fall into this trap.
Interestingly the two superb series of Utopia will not get a third one because of disappointing viewing figures yet it won an international Emmy. The missing was a good whodunit and great that it was not entirely set in the UK, but there have been better things on the telly this year, Line of Duty for one.
Chances are that they are only using the name, rather like Broadchurch, as a hook to get people watching. I think there are many very good dramas that don't have much of an audience and, as a consequence, they are deemed failures. Once a TV channel get's something 'trending' or people talking about it, it makes sense to make a second series - even if it is completely different.
I suspect that the public could stomach a different series with different characters about children going missing every year if it's well written. Once the BBC (in this case) have a program that millions of people will watch based on it's name alone, it would be commercially irresponsible not to make another series.
For me I thought the ending was a little poor. I wanted to know what happened, and going to the trouble of showing Oliver following a fox, something that wasn't witnessed by anyone, gave the impression that all would be revealed. They then left a massive cliffhanger by leaving it open to interpretation as to what actually happened to the boy or his body.
I also think that after all the investigative work to have the answer shared by a dying man undermined a lot of it. They could have avoided the whole investigation and had Alain call for Tony in episode one and tell him that he couldn't live with himself and.....
how did Alaine on his deathbed know about the boy following the fox from the bar. when he said he was drink driving at the time ? the fox would not have hung around to give a statement.
Just watched the the last episode and i loved it despite the morbid subject matter.
It definately compares to Broadchurch in fact I thought the ending to this was better than Broadchurch.
I would love to see a "depression off" between Olivia Coleman and James Nesbett. It would because close run thing. Seriously though, both should be proud of their performances in each show.

I would actually say Line Of Duty is better than either, and the performances to match but there's not a lot in it.

Somehow I don't think this will be the end of Oliver's story, given last nights ending.

So then, did nobody notice the fox in the first episode as they played in the pool?
You are the detective of the year Nick Nick..
