Agreed it was poor.
I'll add one more to that sentiment. So it turned out that the first suspect was the co-perp, making the entire series padding. The way it all fell into place in the end was too easy, and the rapist was a cookie-cutter stereotype.Loads of possibilities for twists and turns not exploited and the viewer is left feeling a bit cheated that it was all so straightforward in the end.
Lazy writing once again (as per the second series), and the departure of Mark Latimer at the end was completely meh. By that point I had no empathy for him as their story was 2 series ago.
it should have been Cath Atwood – that would be a good plot twist. She found out earlier that her bloke slept with trish and thought she would punish them both by drugging trish and ‘humiliating’ her by the gag and tying her up (and someone filming which is what the kids where watching from the mobiles?) and framing the husband.
She found some condoms, but earlier in the day so she went and bought the same brand later and kept the receipt, leaving bits of it at the scene.

The bit with the CCTV evidence at the farm shop seemed a bit unbelievable to me.
A few clicks and she suddenly had the car reg from a conveniently new roadside camera, on a random country road ?
Yeah I said exactly the same to the wife, a bit CSI, fantastic zoom in on the numberplate too!A few clicks and she suddenly had the car reg from a conveniently new roadside camera, on a random country road ?

Can anyone explain why the taxi driver had all those sets of house keys? Did I miss something?
I think just to give the penultimate episode a cliffhanger, and enough reason to nick him, get him into custody, challenge his alibi etc.I too thought the last ep was thrown together in a rush to tie it all up. Cocky rapists like having all the power, I would imagine. No way would he sing like a canary. It would've been 'No Comment' all the way, even though bang to rights.

I’ve been watching this (series 1) on ITVX (app), it’s brilliant! - I think whenever I heard the title previously I assumed it was some boring church type programme lol
If anyone’s not seen it and likes detective dramas, watch it.
Same! I got confused with this and The Bay. I told my friend I don't really fancy some depressing Morecambe Bay drama.....If anyone’s not seen it and likes detective dramas, watch it.
.... oh how wrong I was!
Absolutely loved it. I'm so gutted there's no more.
I think Olivia Colman is brilliant.
