Kiri

I was disappointed when it started but kept watching, and was disappointed by the end. They were interesting themes to explore in a drama, but good as Sarah Lancaster is, it just didn't cut it. The scriptwriter should have spent a couple of weeks in a social work dept. If they did it didn't show. I thought it was the adoptive dad btw, true to form it's always the least suspicious one!

A non ending, to be continued?

Ah, of course, it could still have been the adoptive mother - the son could have got it wrong and the adoptive dad could have been lying. I'm even more convinced there's another episode they've forgotten to schedule in.

Not an easy programme to watch but some very good acting. I thought it was the mother, still do!. Disappointed in the way it ended.

Why did Sarah Lancaster have to have a Bristolian accent anyway, she could have sounded like someone who came from the north couldn’t she!.

Nelliemosar.....I don’t know which part of Bristol you visited but next time you do try visiting Clifton. No one in that part of Bristol will think you a posh person from the Midlands?.

We had to double check that this was the last episode. What a disappointing (non) ending. On the positive side I'd worked out the motive for the killing, even though I'd got the wrong killer (mum).

We both thought Kiri had been strangled, but the weird adoptive dad's tale didn't tie in with that.

Yes I was disappointed as well, I know real life does not always have cut and dried situations but this was just a mess.
It's quite depressing to see our care services and police portrayed in such a way. As for the dysfunctional family well words fail me.

Basically Kiris father was charged on the made up evidence that the nutty foster mother saw his car at their house when he didn’t even know where it was .

Mary Eliza I was just the same as it went to the credits I silently went WTF (well actually not silently but silently on here )
What a miserable non ended ending very very disappointed

Series 2?

I gave up on this - so who did it?

Or even mouthed

As the ‘credits’ started to roll we just looked at each other metaphorically open mouthef

Police don’t come out too well either

Thoroughly disappointing ending . As others have said what was the point ?

Infact was it even an ending ?

What a load of twaddle!!! Especially as it shows social workers in such bad light.

I am surprised thatSarah Lancashire would even want to be associated with such an awful series.

It also in my opinion shows middle class families as being completely bonkers!!!

Jalima that sums it up for me too.

boading school?
boarding school

Perhaps the son will get some toast for breakfast now he's gone to boading school.

I feel underwhelmed.

Unexpected and unsatisfactory were the two words that came to mind.

Is there to be follow-up?

Oh dear - that’s four hours I won’t get back. Anyone else disappointed with the ending?

I think it was her.
She admitted losing control and slapping a pupil
Perhaps she followed the little girl and her birth father and got jealous, followed the girl and argued with her then lost control again.

That's why she's so thin merlotgran

Note to self: give up the toast

Just caught up with the latest episode and one thing really annoyed me:

The comment from the well off middle class mother, 'I thought we weren't having toast in the morning because it's too heavy.' The boy then set off for school after downing a glass of orange juice.

FFS. There are teachers all over the country who would prefer a child to have a slice of toast than nothing at all which happens all too often.

Such angst over a slice of flippin' toast for breakfast. She needed a good slap.

Maybe it was Vodka in the hip flask? I don’t think you can smell vodka can you?

I think it was the creepy son (who seems to have some weird pervy relationship with the mother).

It smacks of Broadchurch.
