No theories yet for this series but found it odd how Frank repeated Henrik's surname when they came to the village. Linked to Henrik's wife/kids. Frank's daughter perhaps?

Feels like this series is a bit 'preachy':

- Homophobe cop (against the gay Iranian/Iraqi character) NOT GOOD
- Effort for very ethnically mixed cast VERY GOOD
- Abortion being a main theme WOMAN'S CHOICE

None of this stuff is good/bad per se, but it tends (as is the case with so many BBC dramas) to put me off watching it as I think we can all decide our own views/morals without being told what is acceptable by a production team/writer with an agenda.

Overall still worth the watch, but not as good as earlier series....

As above, I thought it was worth a watch, although definitely not as good as previous series.

You really cannot stop knocking the BBC can you? Do you think the BBC actually made this programme? Here's a clue: it's not in English.

Seriously? That's what you take from the show?

You mention an agenda, but picking up on those things probably says more about yours than that of the production team

Well if I didn't think it I would say it would I? You seem to have a problem with people voicing a POV and seem to have some disdain for mine. Fair cop, but thankfully we live in a society where we're still allowed our own viewpoint.

Quoting myself from Den Of Geek comments section...

"One thing I spotted at the baby shower party. The guy walking round with the video camera that had a red flashing light on the front. When Patrik Dahlqvist was killed, the figure he was shouting at held something with a red flashing light. So it's the same camera."

What do you think?

I noticed that too - supposedly left in Morgan Sonning's car and not seen since?

Yes me too, i've never been the slightest bit interested in movie star memorabilia, but that I would have if I was rich enough.
I can't find the pics I saw the other day, there were some really good ones on MSN news, it's a proper hard worked and worn car, not restored or anything.

That was a proper long cold open.

Though the current record goes to a recent episode of Legion which put the title up just before the end credits.

Well that's the plot all torn up then! Could have not bothered with the first 5 episodes and just cut straight to the chase! ;-)

I still think the guy in the wheelchair is involved.

Prepare for Astrid to be the next target!

Good ending to that, it was all tied up too early on to have the rest of the programme as a happy ending.

I'll miss that theme tune though https://youtu.be/nIFg-5rbnYg

Excellent episode and well ended I thought, shame that's the end of it all.

A brilliant "Morph" into a nutter from the actor playing Kevin/Brian ( Elliott Crosset Hove) from mild mannered, insecure friend to crazy eye'd nutter in 1 hit !

Saga's a good shot too, no messing from her to end it this time !


In fact, in all, i think, the supporting cast has been absolutely brilliant this series, well cast, and sell acted, especially from the younger members.



The only think left hanging was why was Jonas leaking info to the press?
