Guilt

[speedking31]

… starring the reliable Mark Bonnar. Quite amusing and well plotted so far. Reminds me of a low key Inside No. 9.

But why did he change the wheels on his Jag half way through and then change them back again, and it wasn’t even mentioned in the plot?

[The Mad Monk]

Pleasantly enjoyable.

There are a few people potentially who may trip them up.

The elderly neighbour. Why did he go back to speak to her?
The now sober private investigator.
The starting to get keen, niece.
The naivety of his brother.
What's going on with the wife making friends with the lesbian at the gym?

I think I will stay with it, for now. Is it 4 episodes, or 6?

[MarkJS]

Only on episode 2 but think it's been great so far - some real laugh out loud moments too.

Shame about the Jaguar continuity.

When was episode 2 on?

[TX1]

Its on BBCi player, not watched the second episode as yet as was not aware it was available.

We thought it was good. Nearly stopped at the wake when it started looking as if it was going to get silly but stuck it out and I'm glad we did.

Caught up with the first two episodes last night and really enjoyed it. Episode 3 for me tonight.

4. I've only seen the first one so far but it was pretty good.

[cuprabob]

Episode 3 was good and can't wait until Thursday when the 4th episode will be available after it airs on the BBC Scotland channel.

[PositronicRay]

Watched the 1st episode, maybe watch another but won't be too disappointed it I don't.

Many plot holes, story and acting not good enough to make up for it. Shame as I like Mark Bonnar.

Just watched 2 and 3, I think I've misjudged it. Suckered in now.

I didn't bother to watch last week's episode - number 3 was it?

It just seemed to fall away after the first episode, which was both interesting and amusing.

[cuprabob]

As an aside, I didn't recognise Tom Urie as he's lost so much weight. I only realised it was him from the sound of his voice.

I'm looking forward to the last episode on Thursday to see how it concludes

[singlecoil]

I've watched the first three episodes and I expect I'l watch the last one but I think by the third episode it started to suffer the same problem that afflicts most of the drama one sees on TV, and that is, too bloody many characters. How many characters does it need to tell a story FFS.

[cuprabob]

Watched the final episode last night and it kind of fizzled out. On the whole, I still enjoyed it.

[PositronicRay]

Tried to watch episode 4, but only 1-3 on iplayer last night!

It was shown on the BBC Scotland channel at 10pm last night, so should be on iPlayer now.

Thanks.

Too much plot, less is more.

The story of a respectable urban lawyer being sucked into money laundering, should be a whole different series.

Just watched final episode, very good overall but seems to have left a lot of dangling threads - upcoming post mortem chiefly among them.

Bit of a Long Good Friday homage at the end?

I thought exactly the same as I watched him being driven away.


I thought he might have traded information about the gangster for an immunity agreement.

Overall, I thought it started well but tailed off to a somewhat predictable end.
