Either you mean 'Hastings' or I've been watching the wrong show 
Quite honestly, I consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent person, albeit, as my wife will attest, without a lick of common sense.I can watch a TV show, follow the labyrinthine paths it sends you on, observe and note the subtle nuances of dialogue and facial expressions, see in which direction my suspicions are being urged to go, but this L.O.D. is driving me nuts.
I’ve finally arrived at the conclusion, that I couldn’t care less who’s hooky, or who’s straight, and I don’t care if “H” is the Dalai Lama.
Started re-watching season 1, back then it was much more prodecural, the interviews were electric and key, now it's a case of the ball buster with the pink truncheon gives a Paddington Bear hard stare, immediately a trained sworn officer who must have gone through whatever emotionally to get to the state of "bent copper" (trademark reserved Jed Mercurio) immediately spills their guts.
Hopefully after the b
ks of Bodyguard and this shambles Mercurio's star will wane rapidly. FiF said:

Even up to season 3, the interview with Dot was so gripping. Season 4's interview with Roz was brilliant too.
This season has had a couple but they sang after about two seconds.
The one that would've been really worth watching was just errr, cancelled.
I assume Lisa will need interviewing at some stage but they'll probably kill her off instead.

What about the the bag of £50's and the bloke who gave it to him? I don't think he's anything to do with getting the lost "investment" back.
I assume that would be easily traced back to the raid. No one would half a brain would keep that money, but I'm sure it will turn up as an 'exhibit' in episode 6.wjb said:

Corbett Dad, was Hargreaves’ partner who died whilst on duty and it was covered up. Hargreaves said In episode 1 ‘the log book went missing and it was all forgotten about’
Corbett blames Hargreaves for his Dads death so was trying to set him up.
Hargreaves is aware of this, hence doesn’t mind him dying.
Hargreaves has Lisa undercover on ‘pear tree’ all along.

The lack of decent interviews, and move to more 'action scenes' has hurt this season.

I wholly agree. It has been the high drama interviews of previous seasons that has made this series. The “tooled-up” Police action raids always look a bit lame and tend to come to nought. Now it is relying too heavily on the convoluted storyline.Even up to season 3, the interview with Dot was so gripping. Season 4's interview with Roz was brilliant too.

This morning we committed to binge-watching from season 1 again. We have literally lost the plot

In our house that caused the Missus upstairs watching rubbish to wonder what the shout was downstairs where i was!
Did not see that coming. I did think that the gun may of been empty but to be killed......some may say its far fetched but still wants me to watch next episode.
Hmm. I was upstairs watching HIGABMNFY whilst the lady of the house was watching LOD downstairs. She didn't shout out at any point.Did not see that coming. I did think that the gun may of been empty but to be killed......some may say its far fetched but still wants me to watch next episode.
The trouble is that I expect drama to be believable, or else fantasy. I can't watch anything that isn't credible - unless it's something like Poirot. Last night a delivery man had a 'parrot for Mr Poy-rot'! Poirot corrected him 'It's Pwu - ro'. The delivery man said ok, 'a par-ro for Mr Pwu-ro! (It was better if you were there).

I might have missed something but is There anything significant about the body in the freezer in the boys flat opposite the printing works?
It's a link back to season 1. Beyond that, not sure.Red 4 said:
Did anybody else spot the spelling mistake when Corbett was communicating with "H".
"Definately".
PH - speeling, gramma and punctuationion matter.
Criminal.
The same word was used again by Hastings on the messenger, spelt wrongly IIRC?"Definately".

Criminal.
