Was looking forward to this. Don’t know if it was just me, but found it confusing. Spent most of the episode working out who was who, who was with who, and what was going on really. The awful fire, all the smoke and flames, I couldn’t tell who was trapped and who was doing the rescuing. Twist at the end of course.

Oh I think that as well but then why the padlock? It was a load of rubbish.

For what it's worth - I think that Tom had intended to die in the fire too but was rescued, hence his panic when he woke up in hospital

If Tom had planned to inject the children to kill them why the padlocked door? The only thing I can think of is that he wanted to make it Kate look bad as if she had planned to kill the children and set fire to the house. Presumably he thought their bodies would be too badly burned to detect the injections? Perhaps we are trying to analyse the mind of a deranged and psychopathic man. Although slow moving it was very disturbing.

I know he did it himself SalsaQueen, I meant if as originally suspected Kate had ‘done it’ then she would of had to of injected Tom as well as the children. No one ever questioned how she could possibly of done that.

Kate didn't inject Tom - he did it himself. Right from the beginning, I thought it was him. The storyline was really disappointing.

I feel I wasted 4 hours of my life watching this.
I expected better of David Tennant.
It was miserable and so much never explained.
Also his wife and his mother were so passive.
Oh well at least it has finished now.

tanith Fri 31-Jan-20 22:47:14

No one even mentioned how Kate could injected Tom either. A few unanswered questions.

What a load of tosh. The first thing the police would have done would be to investigate his phone and find the message to his mum.

Floradora9 Fri 31-Jan-20 22:26:56

Yes not exactly a riviting end .

Dollymac Fri 31-Jan-20 22:22:36

Yes, I agee with you Jane43, I felt it went on forever tonight. ...
Kinda glad that it's over

Jane43 Fri 31-Jan-20 22:18:19

Yes it was a disappointment. I thought we might have learned why Tom and his wife had so much debt when he was a GP and she was a teacher so had a good income. It was so slow moving I was messaging a friend for some of the time.

The twist was, there was no twist.

tanith Fri 31-Jan-20 22:14:32

Bit of a let down ending.

LullyDully Fri 31-Jan-20 22:09:40

What a rat. I did think it had to be him.

travelsafar Fri 31-Jan-20 22:06:32

oops i got it wrong!!! smile

Maggiemaybe Fri 31-Jan-20 22:05:54

Yes, I was a bit underwhelmed too. But at least it had an ending!

Calendargirl Fri 31-Jan-20 22:03:16

What a disappointment! As with so many dramas, ended as a real damp squib. Found this last episode pretty boring actually.

travelsafar Fri 31-Jan-20 21:38:44

I think Jess did it!!!

Greenfinch Fri 31-Jan-20 16:53:09

Looking forward to the final installment tonight.What is the significance of the title? Have I missed something?

Gfplux Sun 26-Jan-20 19:46:30

Really enjoying it. Very moody and deep. My partner thinks it has the same mood as the brilliant “The Falls” with Jenifer Anderson.
Still not sure sure who did what but that is what a who dunnit is for.
Can’t wait to find out.

trisher Sun 26-Jan-20 17:27:02

I was thinking the nefarious Dr Tom might continue with his dastardly deeds. His mum for example.

Maggiemaybe Sun 26-Jan-20 17:15:22

Ah, just one to go, Dottydots, keep going! I'm intrigued to find out how it all ends.

I do hope you're wrong, trisher, about series 2!

Dottydots Sun 26-Jan-20 11:28:39

I'm also struggling with the plot and feel like giving up but I shall hang in there and see the last episode, which hopefully will make sense of everything.

dragonfly46 Sun 26-Jan-20 09:58:47

I am just thoroughly confused ?

tiredoldwoman Sun 26-Jan-20 09:54:04

Could it have been Jess, she's going through IVF could she have miscarried babies in the crash and so then killed Kate's ?
