Unforgotten.

I’m resurrecting this thread as a new series starts tonight with a replacement for Cassie.

I posted at the close of the last series that I thought it should end there, on a (sad) high.

I shall watch the new series with interest, and hope I am proved wrong.

Who's River?

‘River’ was a different detective series, but it had Nicola Walker in it, and she died in that also. Her partner was Swedish or similar, an older man. She kept re-appearing to him in a sort of ghost form, if I remember correctly, but I found it completely un-riveting I’m afraid. Glad there was no follow up.

Thanks, CalendarGirl.

Yes , a lovely epitaph ,but unfortunately her life was cut short

As an aside ... Our eldest daughter rang this afternoon and mentioned how poignant she found the words inscribed on Cassie’s headstone.

Cassie's gravestone epitaph – “She longest lives, who most to others gives, herself forgetting” – may be generic but it fits her like a comfy slipper. She took every case to heart, and, as damaging as it was to her personally, that empathy was her biggest strength as a detective it seems.

We both thought those words were just perfect for any unselfish and ‘giving’ person.

I have just finished watching Unforgotten (series 4) and I am in bits at the death of Cassie?. Wonderful performances from the whole cast but particularly the two leads. There were many confusing bits, some I worked out for myself and some from this thread thank you. I was wondering if anyone could help me with another explanation. The story the four 'suspects' told was that after the arrest of Fogerty Liz drove the car back to his house dropping the other three off first and then walking home. Was it said, or are we meant to infer, that the body remained in the boot until Fogerty was released and then he cut the hands and head off the body and refrigerated them with no further reference to the others?

I thought River was awful.

Perhaps she’ll come back as a ghost detective as she did in River (a much better drama I thought).

I absolutely loved this series but hope that the programme dies with Cassie . It wouldn’t be the same without her in it .
RIP Unforgotten.

I must admit the blackmail aspect still flummoxed me. I couldn't quite understnad who was blackmailing who.

Golly. It's Spooks all over again. How depressing!

We usually watch on catchup so that we can pause if we don't understand something or forget a name! I think plots are getting very complicated or we are getting slower.

Thank you Jane it’s clear in my mind now.

I think you are right Jane

I sometimes find that to fully understand a plot line you need to have seen the whole thing and then fuller understanding comes with a second viewing.

I had to watch the film - The Sting- twice to understand all the little bit of why they did things etc.

I watched the penultimate episode three times, and every time I fell asleep. I would like to watch the whole series again, because there are bits I didn’t quite get, but I couldn’t bear to watch that ending again.

I think Ram was blackmailing Dean because he knew Dean had killed Matthew Walsh.
And Dean was facilitating Ram’s little cocaine sideline.
Disclaimer: I could be completely wrong of course!

I think I shall have to watch the last episode again., as I still don’t get the blackmail set up. Sorry to be so slow!!!

I didn't get that either.

I've just seen that there is to be another series as well. Sanjeev is getting a new boss apparently. This may be fake news as there are conflicting stories in the media.

Do try Unforgotten is is so well written . We watched it from the start recently through Netflix as we had missed it but really it was so well done .

Hope I’m proved wrong, but another series would be a mistake, even if Sonny is promoted.

The time to quit is when you’re ahead.

Now the emotion of last night has died down I have to say I don’t really want another series. Too many police programmes go on for far too long - Line of Duty being a case in point (puts tin hat on). Everything was just so good about last night’s episode, from the razor sharp writing to the fabulous acting. The scene where Dean confessed was stunning...well, it all was. Not a wrong note.

Hope another series is in pipeline with sonny has boss he is a good actor .
