Good to see the new series of this. Looks promising.

Nicola Walker looking as miserable as ever, but I don’t suppose she had a lot to look happy about really.

Several back stories going on behind the obvious suspects.

I can’t imagine Sunny with anyone else as a partner.
I agree with Iam64 it really was a brilliant partnership, and they were nice to each other, Sunny was so calm and polite, with even the most vile suspects.

H1954 Tue 30-Mar-21 08:43:29

Yes, very sad ending. I'm now wondering if a new series would feature Sunni and one of the rest of the team perhaps. They all 'shone' in their own way this series and maybe we've unknowingly had an insight on what's to come?
We still don't know why Ram had such a fractious relationship with his own father either.

I think that may be the end of Unforgotten, I read that would be the last series.
Says a lot for the acting and writing that we were all so invested in the story.

I love this series, particularly the way the back stories slowly unfolded. Such a sad ending, I did shed a tear sad I suppose that's it now! unless Sunny takes over the lead, but as others have said, the pairing was such a good one.

I hope iris the end of Unforgotten. A great series, shocking and tragic ending. Best for the writers to get busy on something new (still crime/police team based please)

Although I loved the series, the time to stop is now. It wouldn’t be the same with other characters.

The Cassie/Sunny relationship worked so well because they really liked, respected and cared for each other, without it resorting to bedroom scenes which is what so often happens.

True colleagues and friends, but with their own personal lives and problems.

I have really enjoyed this series and last nights final episode was a shock.
Sunnis speech at the end was very moving, as was Cass’ phone message to her father. I did think he would have felt guilty about not responding to her messages, but what she said would have helped him.
The good thing about Unforgotten for me is that I was able to keep up with the story week by week, because that’s not always the case with other dramas which can often confuse. Well they can confuse me. grin

So sad. I still can’t forget how her father must have felt having spoken so harshly to her the last time he saw her.
I did feel sympathy for Dean , brought up in a violent home and trying to escape his past. Though dealing with drugs not a good way to do that .

A really sad ending. I thought Sanjeev Bhaskar as Sunny was excellent and he does deserve to have some sort of spin off series if Unforgotten doesn't continue.

Polarbear2 Tue 30-Mar-21 09:45:04

sarnia I thought at some point Ram said he was a disappointment to his father because he didn’t think being a policeman was a suitable job??

Kate1949 Tue 30-Mar-21 09:59:13

Sanjeev posted on Twitter that this episode was the last in 'this series'. I wonder if that means there will be more?

Pittcity Tue 30-Mar-21 11:34:38

ITV have announced that there will be a 5th series with Sunny and a new partner.

loopyloo Tue 30-Mar-21 11:37:58

Yippee! Just watched this final episode so glad to hear there will be another series.

Blinko Tue 30-Mar-21 12:06:03

This is the first time I've watched this and I've loved it from start to finish. Very sad, moving and somehow complete. I'll be catching up with the earlier incarnations on the itv hub.

Last night's programme in particular was so much better than the final part of The Bay, for example, which I thought was weak.

kircubbin2000 Tue 30-Mar-21 12:14:52

I wonder who his new partner will be . Who would be good?

Greyduster Tue 30-Mar-21 12:18:47

I hope they promote him. Don’t want him to have another boss.

Daisend1 Tue 30-Mar-21 12:38:04

Confess to never having watched 'Unforgotton' / 'Line of Duty'. Prefer reruns of 'Vera' /Law& Order UK.

muse Tue 30-Mar-21 12:40:18

Well written and excellent production. Couldn't have wanted more perfect actors. Great to see Sanjeev Bhaskar in such a role.

Iam64 Tue 30-Mar-21 13:39:28

Greyduster, that was my first thought on hearing the news of more Unforgiven, that Sonny is the new Cassie

hulahoop Tue 30-Mar-21 13:47:07

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

tidyskatemum Tue 30-Mar-21 13:57:17

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.

Calendargirl Tue 30-Mar-21 14:01:42

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.

Atqui Tue 30-Mar-21 14:32:23

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!!!

Floradora9 Tue 30-Mar-21 14:37:04

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 .

sodapop Tue 30-Mar-21 17:11:32

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.
