Anybody still bothering with this?

Me and the Mrs begrudgingly watch it now and say the same thing every week: Who's that?
We are both bored with it now but still just hanging in there, was hoping the series would have finished after the last episode and we find it's just going on too long.

It really needs to give us more of a clue to what's going on - are we meant to be routing for Marcella, or is she a psychopath!

Trying to keep interested but it is a real struggle, non of the main characters are the least be likeable, missile strike on them all would finish it off nicely for me.

I quite enjoyed this at first but now I am just watching it to finish it rather than because I'm enjoying it. Even Anna Friel, who I've had a celebrity crush on for years is losing her appeal. How many more episodes are left? If its 1 or 2 then I'll watch to the end but if there's more, I'll start on teh mountain of other TV shows I need to catch up on.

I'm thinking of ditching it too, I don't really care about any of the characters.

Was thinking it was going on too long but in the last half hour it has certainly perked up.

You're just saying that as I turned it off half an hour ago, are't you.

So is all going to be revealed next week? They said at the end there would be episodes on Monday AND Tuesday next week.

So, does anyone have any suspicions?

Is it one of the characters or someone we haven't seen yet?

Didn't watch it tonight as I am away from home but I knew I'd be safe looking at this thread because no one would be any the wiser as to who's who and what's going on. True to form all I've learnt is that there's possibly a double episode next week to finish up rofl

it's ok but nothing special (and some poor continuity efforts!).

The titular Marcella looks like she's been smacked in the gob
Hubbie Jason seems to be a of the highest order
Asian boss is a bit of a prick
Marcella's cop partner is a mardy trout
Grace's mother is possibly the least sympathetic character it's been my misfortune to watch in a long time
Grace's brother is acquiring some back-bone but still feels like he likes being a victim
bearded Scandi gay guy is needy (& I think he's being set-up)
Scandi guy's b/f is a bit of a tt too

The property developer woman who employs Marcella's husband (again - she sacked him when she found out he was giving her daughter one).

We have binned it off now and didn't bother watching it last night either.

Here we go again...

I have literally no idea what's going on but my wife is insisting that we persevere.

Is there anyone else left watching?

I'm only up to episode 4. I'm not really sure what's going on.

Seriously Mr Weasel, do yourself a favour and stop there. It's just preposterous and totally unrewarding.

There are no redeeming features.
