Just watched first episode.

Looks promising.

Guessed the necklace would feature prominently in the storyline.

I am really enjoying it, and actually gasped out loud last night.
The dog had decided to stay down here and shot of the chair when I reacted.
Looking forward to the rest.

Well I didn’t see that coming! I don’t think his wife (ex spook) is dead.

It was a shock but I did notice he pocketed the gun that the guy they chased dropped so maybe he’s out to frame someone.

Calendargirl. I have to admit that was my thought- can’t have been an RC priest.How naive am I?

Coolgran65 Mon 01-Mar-21 17:09:11

I love it and love Jimmy Nesbitt. He comes from just tup the road from me and we speak the same language. No problem with accents.
Yes, last night’s episode was a shock.

It is shaping up to be a good story. I don't hink his wife is dead either.

Jaxjacky Mon 01-Mar-21 18:18:19

Another two here don’t think his wife is dead, was she the woman in the cafe I wonder. DH keeps up a running commentary of various places he knows!

Iam64 Mon 01-Mar-21 18:24:38

Is this was mumsnet we could have a poll - AIBU to believe his wife, the spook, is alive?
I think she may be _ But if she feared her husband would kill her, how come she left her little girl with a mass murderer?!

I now know why I was confused. Having visited with my mother (support bubble) I now realise that last night’s episode was the second in the series. No wonder I was confused. I thought it was episode one confused

Calendargirl Mon 01-Mar-21 18:55:37

was she the woman in the cafe, I wonder?

Which woman in the cafe?

confused

Urmstongran Mon 01-Mar-21 19:05:51

Well spotted tanith!

Urmstongran Mon 01-Mar-21 19:06:53

Yes, what woman in the cafe Jax?

The woman who followed the kidnapped bloke (Paddy? Pat?) and was in his car. I was wondering if it was the doctor in a dark wig?

grannyticktock Tue 02-Mar-21 14:19:45

I thought the dead priest was the doctor's brother.

I thought the dead priest was the doctor's brother.

No, her father apparently.

Calendargirl Sun 07-Mar-21 22:05:16

So, is James Nesbitt Goliath?

He seems a nasty piece of work.

Shandy57 Sun 07-Mar-21 22:10:39

I'm wondering if his Dad was.

Jaxjacky Sun 07-Mar-21 22:10:58

Calendargirl he’s a nasty piece of work indeed! I don’t know...so it’s good, last one next week.

GrandmasueUK Sun 07-Mar-21 22:47:24

I do hope it’s explained in words of one syllable. I’m getting very confused ? although I’m really enjoying it.

Nana3 Sun 07-Mar-21 22:51:06

I've gone off this now, only one more episode to endure ?

silverlining48 Sun 07-Mar-21 23:03:40

I have watched all episodes but notice I struggle to recall all the storyline . Am hoping it’s because I watch a lot of these series and spend too much time trying to work it out. Whose dad is the daughter doctor.both brothers were mentioned
Anyway I have a whole zopiclone tonight and time got bed zzz.
Greetings to all

Rosie51 Mon 08-Mar-21 00:05:09

Well if as I suspect they leave it unresolved I will first scream, then utter a profanity, then resolve not to watch the second series, then watch the second series while fuming ..........but I might be pleasantly surprised and next week will see it all resolved grin

Kim19 Mon 08-Mar-21 01:08:03

Well.... I'm in hoots reading the commentaries here. If ever there was a recommendation for a show not to watch, you have all successfully nailed it. Nobody seems to know what's going on yet loving it! Right. I won't watch the show but I will continue to follow this thread. You are all an absolute tonic and just what I need right now. Please keep up the good work. I hope you all get the ending you are looking for with this show. There seems to be many options. Love it!

Calendargirl Mon 08-Mar-21 06:59:57

Whose dad is the daughter doctor?

He was one of the three dead bodies, Father Quinlan? or something, a Catholic priest who had an affair with the doctor’s mother, the woman now in a nursing home.
The doctor daughter wants to find out who killed him.
