Baptiste

Watched the last one last night. Quite poor imho. Massive plot holes. (Was going to give examples but would be spoilers for others). Not impressed unfortunately. I wish we could have some better dramas on. It’s rubbish at the moment.

I have sort of been enjoying this on record so I can go back over parts I dont understand but strangely the day before I saw it I was listening to my neighbour as she told me about the day her son died and how she could not stop howling really howling like a wounded dog. Fiona Shaw's performance for me was excellent in that regard and probably how I would be if such a terrible thing happened to me.

This is not a spoiler.
I felt I had to go through and watch the rest of the series, but having got three quarters the way through episode 5 I have had to give up. In spite of good characters, good acting, interesting locations, I find the story so ludicrous I just don’t think I could stick through it. Maybe I will check out the last few minutes of the last episode, maybe not.

I did think that it would have been better in 4 episodes. I fast forwarded episode 6 just to get to the end.

I might have to speed watch the last two episodes. I'm bored now.

It certainly is not living up to expectations.

We loved it all. The only thing was that we were also watching The Missing (love Julien) at the same time to start with, and were getting confused as to what bit went with which series.

Sorry didn’t like it, in fact we have stopped watching it as we found it boring. Found other ones, such as The Bridge and The Killings far better.

We stopped watching it after the fourth episode as we simply didn't care any more. Very disappointing.

Huh....
I am confused . Com.

Can anyone explain?

Very disappointing ending. Didn’t care for the protagonists and found then end not believable - are ridiculously sentimental.

Glad this is finished....so long winded.

What a load of do dah I love Baptists but this was really rubbish some I didn’t understand some was very far fetched (how did Baptise live through that beating in the forest ?) and some was just nonsense
Not good at all what a shame he is one of my favourites

I do agree Blue Belle, how did they all survive the terrible attacks. Seems most unlikely.

We gave up. It became so unbelievable.

I kind of felt it was quite poignant near the end when the person put the mask on to suggest you get rid of one terrorist only for another to take their place. It came full circle.

We watched it because we felt we had to see it through.

It was farfetched and ridiculous, a pity because I enjoyed the last series.
Fiona Shaw seemed quite jolly at the end, having lost her daughter, husband, one son and with the other son in a coma.

I thought that as well Callistemon maybe she was just putting a brave face on things.

I agree with BlueBelle really thought Baptiste had died after that beating. Not the best in the series by a long way. It was dragged out unnecessarily as well.

I was so impressed that a man of his age could out run much younger men and beat them up, whilst surviving a thrashing !!!!!! Cooo.

I agree that so much was unbelievable. I have almost given up several times during this series but I persevered, though I even wanted to abandon this last episode. I can’t see how Baptiste or his opponent could have survived that fight, nor how the mother and son were rescued, given the state they were all in.
As the actor is not doing another Baptiste, it would have been logical to kill him off in this one.

LullyDully

I was so impressed that a man of his age could out run much younger men and beat them up, whilst surviving a thrashing !!!!!! Cooo.

And it seemed to have taken 20 years off him by the end when he went back to his granddaughter and wife! ?

It was a bit far fetched, and some of it was just time filler. I thought he was dead in the forest but apparently not. Still it was Baptiste. I will miss him!

Looks like the producers chickened out of killing them off.

They'd said it was the last series so why leave it open?

Guess Emma will be back walking next time.?

We didn’t like this one. Completely spoilt at the end with that ridiculous fight scene in the forest. A fit young man against an old man using a walking stick. Totally unrealistic.

I think they were left with 10-15 mins at the end of the programme if they died in the forest, so they filled it in with any old guff!

Yes I fast forwarded all of that ?
