Well. What did everyone make of that? Opening for a new series, obviously, but a horrible ending.

Farmor15 Sun 01-Feb-26 22:07:45

Absolutely awful ending.

Visgir1 Sun 01-Feb-26 22:08:55

I didn't expect that ending? Don't think my nerves could take much more. Hope we don't have to wait another 10 years for the next chapter.

Flippin2 Sun 01-Feb-26 22:45:09

I was shocked and agree awful ending,can't say what I called him...

Allira Sun 01-Feb-26 22:49:39

I'm exhausted!

merlotgran Sun 01-Feb-26 22:51:31

Me too. 😮

Allira Sun 01-Feb-26 23:02:54

Just when I was beginning to like Teddy!

Sadgrandma Sun 01-Feb-26 23:32:09

What a cliffhanger. We need a new series SOON

Shocking ending and who killed Angela Burr?

Calendargirl Mon 02-Feb-26 07:02:23

How many years was it supposed to be since the first series?

Angela Burr’s daughter looked too young to me.

Shame Teddy had to die but inevitable I suppose, I hope Angela isn’t dead and Jedi Pine will rise again. Hope it’s not 10yrs for the third series.

Won't do much for recruitment to MI6.
Thought it was implausible.
Why were these secret agents so happy to stand in front of open windows?.
And what useless guard dogs to be tamed with a couple of bits of meats.
My SIL's dogs wouldn't have fallen for that.
But shooting them was dreadful.

Smileless2012 Mon 02-Feb-26 08:59:45

The ending was shocking and totally unexpected if only because how often does a series end with the 'baddies' coming out on top?

Sago Mon 02-Feb-26 09:30:29

This should have a spoiler alert!

We haven’t watched the final one yet!

If anyone wasn’t something really excellent to replace your Sunday evening fix try Tehran on Apple TV.

I know! Curtains? Blackout blinds?
Try John Lewis or Dunelm 😁

The Guardian states season three is already in the works.

I think it said four years later at the start of the second series

I got a bit confused with it all at the end. Who was in allegiance with who. Who were the bad guys and who were the good guys.

I didn't expect Olivia Coleman to get shot. It seemed a bit pointless to have that happen at the end. Maybe she didn't want to be in the third series.

I hope it's not ten years until the next series.

Maybe she isn’t dead. Maybe she just looks dead and she’ll be back in the next series whenever that will be. (there was an awful lot of blood though)😳.

I’ll have to watch it again as I couldn’t keep up with so much happening.

Me too. And he was so handsome!

I was a bit disappointed at first because it looked like a rerun of the original plot but I started to enjoy it as the new characters kicked in.
Completely wrong prediction for the ending though, I thought Teddy would kill Roper once Teddy learned of the betrayal.
Shocking ending killing Teddy and agree shocking shooting the wholly innocent dogs- entirely consistent with the amoral Roper character though.
Pine is down but not out ,presumably, or else there wouldn't be a third series on the cards.
Will Roper eventually come to the sticky end that he deserves in the middle of the Oxfordshire countryside??
We'll have to "watch that space......."

ArthurAskey Tue 03-Feb-26 17:06:48

Richard Roper is a nasty piece of work eh?

AuntieE Tue 03-Feb-26 17:08:39

If this is the film version of Le Carrés' book of the same name, the ending is horrible there too.

It is always a good idea to read the book first, then see the film!

Gummie Tue 03-Feb-26 17:09:15

Didn't enjoy season 2. Wasn't nearly as good as season 1. You could tell it wasn't written by John Le Carre. But season 3 is in work and I will have to watch it to finish the story.

Same here hated teddy being shoot also little girl being left on her own well i was gutted..
