Just on looks, the old guy in the cell would have made a better Carvill IMO.

Well that was a hell of an ending!

I didn't think they would go on to another series but that's obviously the way forward.

Wilson had lost it anyway. Nutter.

This program is massively under rated.

I didnt realise it was the final as the series has flown by so really hoping for a third as even if they wrapped it up I would have liked to see more of it. Fingers crossed.

Top work C4.

I watched the whole series in one hit last night and it was absolutely fantastic! Just as good as the first series, which was simply top notch!

Excellent script, acting, soundtrack, cinematography and story.
More please!

I must admit I wanted to see Wilson get his comeuppance, but hopefully they will have a third series smile

Watched the final episode yesterday on 4OD.

Was originally attracted to the show following the trailers show prior to Series 2 coming out so watched all of Series 1 beforehand.

I've been very impressed overall. Interesting story, great acting, some shocking scenes, brave writing, twists and turns. Properly good. cool

I did feel the final episode was a touched rushed. They seemed to brush over the locating of the chap(s) who was to release the virus a bit quickly.

Surely there has to be a Series 3!

As much as I've enjoyed both seasons I'd say leave it there.

All the secrets are out and it'll just become Jessica, Ian et al trying to shut down Wilson - there's nothing more to it.

I felt the final scenes were saying that 'Mr. Rabbit' will never die and can take on any form. They have certainly left it open for what would surely be a final series, but it probably isn't needed.

All questions have been answered, the only developments would be a bit soap opera; Jess, Becky and Ian situation, Grant living with the Dugdale's and what will Arby and Carvel do now? The rest of the main storyline, as somebody already pointed out, would be too obvious.

I wouldn't mind if that's how it's wrapped up but I would definitely watch a third series.

Trying to watch the last episode on 4OD and it won't play. All the ads are great and then it just hangs. Anyone else?

Agreed. The ending was a bit of an anti-climax from what you pointed out.

For the next series they should jump forward in time:

Then there's the ultimate question, as the viewer, what do I want? Do I want Janus to be released and Mr. Rabbit to succeed? The argument for Janus is damn strong, the argument against is just a question of morality. The only hiccup being Carvel's extra input in choosing a race to take over the globe. This will be sour news to Milner who detested the idea wanting random selection for a fair run for the surviving populations.

I prefer Carvel's plan though, to help evolution!
Janus is more humane than the solutions I’ve (jokingly) suggested. But its hard to deny the strength of the argument that it’s morally preferable to doing nothing and watching the world tear itself apart over food/water/land etc.

However Carvell’s decision would backfire badly. Imagine a world where 10 years after the last human has been able to conceive a child, and it becomes obvious that there has been a forced sterilisation. Except for the Roma, chosen to inherit the Earth. Hate crimes would turn into a Rwanda style genocide.

Sorry. It’s only a TV show. I’ll lighten up.
Perhaps Wilson might be still around for redemption...
