It appears that quite a few people are.

Is this shocking, suprising or worrying? Personally, it doesn't surprise me and possibly adds weight to the theme of voyeurism running through the story.

Personally, I'm not on Paul's side and was quite disappointed that he managed to overcome the (unarmed) thug so easily (-when does he fit in his visits to the MMA gym?)

The programme had lost it's way the last few episodes, but I thought the last one was excellent, with plenty going on...overall it has been first class.

Yeah I quite enjoyed this episode. Fast paced compared to the other ones. The scene where Paul is fighting with Jimmy and when that guy gets blasted in the head was pretty intense.

I hope Rose isn't alive...Don't really want to see a happy lovey dovey ending. At the same time, hope they wrap it up in the final episode, but do it properly, not some fast paced, rush job st in the final 7 minutes or something.

Slightly off topic but does anyone happen to know the song Spector puts on his record player at the start of this weeks episode? Mama, bring me my walking cane or words to that effect.
Cheers,
Jim.

The writers haven't made Stella a .............. likeable character - still would though!hehe

I don't find myself on her side, especially after the late-night visit to the morgue, wheeling out the frozen corpse of the suicide/hanged girl and just .............. gazing at it - weird. Almost as weird as Paul. We, kind of, know his excuse - what's hers?
Getting back to the writers, they seem to be settling a few scores with the "hard men" of Belfast (Jimmy getting a doin') and the police (couldn't even set up the surveillance cameras without trashing the ceiling!).

Well the 90-minute finale is tonight - looking forward to seeing how this concludes.

It was just all too easy for the police to find that video in Spector's bag - it's as if he wanted them to do so. Is it part of a bigger plan?

Spector wakes up in bed with his wife Stella and it's all just been a dream.

Spector walks off into the Belfast sunset after getting off due to being a PSNI informer/tout.

A predictable ending but, what a load of 'bollix in the lead up to such - not impressed at all.

Ponderous, self-indulgent and predictable. Can't believe the people who made series 1 had anything to do with series 2. Bah humbug

Awful ending.

Really really bad.

Two nights earlier the BBC come up with a superb ending in "The Missing" they then return to form with this.

Such a cop out, (excuse the pun) pissed off con turns up and shoots him.

Very disappointed.

Another anti-climatic ending (after The Missing earlier this week).

Actually I had a problem concentrating after her boss (and one time lover) appeared and the phrase 'sad Cantona' entered my head and wouldn't leave...that's all he seemed to do, look mopey and vacillate.

Any half decent brief would have got the accused off - having to ride (in daylight) without disguise in a Ssanyong Rodius has to be a 'cruel and unusual punishment' by anybody's standards.

As for the appalling overlong whispering scenes...Bore. Dom.

Also, was I right in thinking Stella was alone in the interview room with (powerful woman hating murderer) Paul? Shame he didn't act on impulse and end the series there.
