This is on BBC2 Thursdays at 9pm. The third episode was yesterday evening and I had half decided to give up when I suddenly started to understand some of the plot - only some!!! Anyone else watching this- its is painfully slow but somehow intriguing and as there is so little else on I'll carry on for a bit.
I've just watched the last episode and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I even take it back about the acting.
I thought it was clever how the Palestinian was killed by the bit of the Stein bomb that killed Atikas family.
Talking about the 'bag', wouldn't it have been a cliff hanger if the bag he dropped was the one the Palestinian ,who had Nessa raped and killed her family, showed Atika before he stabbed her. Could have been a new series in itself.
Just watched the 'bag bit' a couple of times. It was exactly like her handbag, not a briefcase, but you didn't see her move to drop it or pick it up again. It did look rather suspicious!
I have enjoyed this programme, although I agree about the piousness and whimpering. The plot was, I thought good, and was I imagining it, or did Stephen Rea have a briefcase in his hand, which he dropped when the van nearly knocked him down - I did not see him with it when walking off with Lindsay Duncan. Was that an 'arrangement' he had - did someone in the van quickly lean out and pick it up Am I imagining this? Oh! lordy, that is not like me at all, think the programme got to me.
Having suffered this programme and the truly dreadful piousness of Nessa I have to say I loved the last episode it was really gripping and terrifying - couldn't live through it all again though!
Sort of a satisfactory finish, but Lona I think your idea of a spin off with Stephen Rea is fantastic. Wouldn't it be great him and Lindsay Duncan, righting wrongs and solving mysteries? Well I would watch it!!!
I was babysitting last night and they came home 20 minutes in to the last episode! I got home in time for the last ten minutes but I don't feel I missed much! Is it worth watching on catch up?
Is tonight the last episode? Please tell me it is - I haven't bee so irritated by a serial since Jamaica Inn (which had me convinced I was going deaf).... still hooked though - albeit by a sense of morbid curiosity...
