Bloodlands.

Yes, the end was completely unexpected and shocking!

?. Good point trisher -

Complette shock over the ending. Mind I did think shooting someone who was on oxygen seemsd a bit OTT easier ways to do it!

The dead priest is the doctor’s father.
I was shocked the Nesbit character didn’t involve the police when his daughter was kidnapped/returned.
I was even more shocked by the final scene.
Is his wife alive?
They need AC12 ?

I watched the first one but didn’t get into it I don’t know whether to try again or not seems mixed reviews on here

I actually started to watch McDonald and Dodds. Unbelievably awful. Switched to BBC.

Has there been a series before? I found it a difficult to get into, but managed to tune in by about the middle of the programme. We’ll carry on watching I think.

Not unknown for priests to father children Calendargirl.

Bent coppers! Call in Ted Hastings!

Can't wait for the next episode.

I thought Goliath could be Lorcan Cranitch’s character, but a bit obvious.

I don’t like James Nesbitt so won’t be sorry if he turns out to be the baddie. Even if he isn’t though, surely he shouldn’t just be shooting people?

And how could the doctor’s dad be the other dead one? I thought he was a priest?

Nor me Nana3 and it's left me rather confused .

I'm enjoying it and my friends and I are working out where they have been filming it coming from N.Ireland. Oh and I have the accent Kircubbinn2000. Proud of it!

I didn't expect that!!!

I was shocked too! So is he Goliath? Or protecting Twomey?

Me neither!

Well, didn't see tonight's ending coming!!
Should be last night's as it's 1 am, sorry.

Yes it's a nuisance that ITV hub doesn't do subtitles. I have just purchased a new little gadget, called a Handy Wireless Speaker, which you connect up to the TV and it enhances the sound, especially recommended for clarifying speech. It cost about £145 but I am delighted with it. I hope not to need subtitles so much now. (Always said it was the TV's or the actors' fault, not mine, if I couldn't make them out!)

J enjoyed the first episode will definitely continue watching There are times when I can't understand the accent, not so much with James Nesbit, he's quite prolific so I'm probably attuned to his.

Thank you, Grannyticktock; we managed to do it but it was like pulling teeth. Unfortunately, subtitles doesn’t work on ITV Hub. So much for super smart TV sets!

I think it looks promising so far, and Jed Mercurio can usually be relied upon to write a decent drama.

Greyduster, if you mean. iPlayer, I can get subtitles on this by using the Add Subtitles button on my TV remote. It doesn't work on prerecorded programmes or on ITV hub, but it does on iPlayer (on my system, anyway).

We enjoyed it. Got it on catch up, as DH forgot to tape it, so no subtitles, which would have helped, though I’m pretty good with accents. I like James Nesbitt, so am looking forward to the rest.

Didn't Jed Mercurio write The Bodyguard too Boz, which was excellent.

Hi JaxJacky that is kind of you, thank you. I have since Googled and found a Radio Times recap and explanations of various theories

I fell asleep half way through but it seemed to pick up at the end so I will stick with it.
