Did you all see The Met this week?

That was very good.
Saw the first one...rest bookmarked.

Still don't understand why the mum got 23 years for giving them a lift. I'd have thought "accessory to" would be the charge, and be (substantially) less than the four boys...?

In which case her son should have copped it as well, but somehow got off lightly?

What was the grievance which prompted the chasing and the stabbing?

I see it’s on tonight, but I don’t think it’s a new one?

The whole series is a repeat, so I very much doubt it.

Still, I've enjoyed watching them again.

The Met tomorrow night on BBC is new, and similar.

There may have been other crimes, who knows. However, good! She knew exactly what she was doing and flat out lied to the police, playing innocent. fk her.

Good programme. Second one is a mystery... half way through it.

Programme guide says this is series 3 - I'll search iplayer for the others!

Nah, not that one.

Not a surprise, but shocking. Who needs fiction when real life is even more fked up.

I wonder how that conversation went?

"Mum, can you give me and three mates a lift to hack a kid to death with machetes?"

"Righto son. We won't worry about my car and registration being picked up by CCTV or your mate's tag. Let's go".

Didn't exactly need Sherlock Holmes to solve that one. But I cannot comprehend what they were thinking. If they did any thinking at all that is.

I imagine the son got a lighter sentence because he had a better lawyer.

Have we had an explanation as to what the, er, disagreement was about?

Police is now a numbers game to solve these crimes across gathering digital and forensic evidence. Nobody is thick enough to not realise this, they are all living in a world where they have a mindset that they will get away with it, they will be fine and someone else is going to cop the blame.

It's very alarming, and I've seen Episode 2 that is even worse regarding this.

Anyone know if tonight's one is a repeat ? Not one I remember I must say.

Is this the one where he died elsewhere and his friend moved the body from her flat (?) to the park ?

Well, as long as you don't spoil it for the rest of us.

Did watch tonight’s one first time around but watched it again tonight.
It’s easy to live a ‘normal’ life and not have anything to do with the people featured but it really is a view of how destructive drugs and addiction are, literally turning people into zombies. Felt for both the victim and offender in this one.
