FAR too slow. (..and I thought Better Call Saul was too fast!)

Decent last two eps, but as mentioned before, could have done the whole thing in 3 hours.

As for taking the cuffs off Spectre after he beat Gibson up... yea right. Let's put him straight in a room with pool cues and vulnerable people. Tut.

I agree. Far too slow and then far too fast and loose.

Shame as it was a pretty good show for a lot of its run.

Last two episodes were really good. Was really shocked at the attack on Gibson. Showed the internal rage Spectre had in graphic detail. I felt his suicide was a cop out, but to be expected.

Have to find something else to watch now.
Spoiler alert missing!

Surely now that it's all finished we can do spoilers?

It's only just finished and many won't have gotten to their catch up boxes yet. i agree though, it's a challenge as to how not to spoil it whilst also discussing the ending scratchchin

This sort of thing happened all the way through. In the same ward as one of his victims with no cuffs, no locks, no police, and only a nurse between him and her? Travelling around uncuffed in the back of a Focus? Etc etc. Shame the small details weren't addressed.

We turned it off and deleted it half way through the final episode. I really didn't care how it finished at that point. We enjoyed the first two series', but this third was awful viewing.

It did become very ponderous and seemed to be a competition in who could look the most miserable, talk the quietest and breath the heaviest. Shame as it started off very well and could've been done in two series rather than dragging it out to three.

I have to say I felt that whole series was an utter waste of time.

Not often I feel I've wasted my time watching a TV series, but this one really DID feel that way.

Someone said the whole thing could have been done in 3 hours, but I felt it could have been done in 30 minutes and then I'd have wondered why they bothered...

Very disappointed after really enjoying the first two series.

I thought the first half of every programme was sooo slow that I almost switched off. Also, the recent series lacked that white blouse lick

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed it anyway. (Obviously the first two series were far better)

As been mentioned though, to let a psychotic killer walk around without restraints (Handcuffs etc) was idiotic....Heads must roll at Belfast police station.

I'm looking forward to series 4, should be various Ombudsman's inquiries and inquests to look forward to.

Main point of interest was Anderson recovering from a serious throat condition, which prevented her from talking.

Just finished watching this after having it on the planner for a while. I really enjoyed it! Perhaps I'm easily pleased. Gillian Anderson's continual whispering and haunted 1000 yard stare got a little grating at times, but I still found it really watchable and held my interest.....

I really enjoyed the 1st 2 series, but I felt this series really poor in comparison, a real shame!

So I may have fallen asleep - did he really lose his memory or not?
