Enjoyed it but so many characters! Wasn't sure who the body on the ground was at the very end. But think Tosh and Ashley J will be a good pairing.

I really liked it too, I did like Doug Henshall & miss him, but he wanted to go so we must get used to the new team. I like Tosh & Ashley too & thought it was a great plot but I had to look twice to see who the body was too!

It’s really good. I like the new pairing as well.

Luckygirl3 Wed 01-Nov-23 23:11:11

Was it the girl?

Oldbat1 Wed 01-Nov-23 23:12:00

The body was the girl i think but missing her red jacket.

The body was the girl i think but missing her red jacket.

But the body seemed to have short dark hair?

I miss Dougie ☹ but it's good to see Tosh playing a more prominent role.

I thought it was the girl minus the jacket

I enjoyed although I didn't expect to as I really liked Doggie Henshall.

I too thought it was the girl. Quite enjoying the new pairing so far, tosh is just great isn't she! Very sincere character.

watched this tonight, rubbish imo. should have left it alone when dougie henshall left.

Oldbat1 Wed 08-Nov-23 22:12:59

Watched again tonight. Too many characters to keep track of. Many look very similar which doesnt help me. I still enjoyed it though and will def keep watching.

Clawdy Wed 08-Nov-23 22:24:38

Exactly what I thought, hadn't a clue who half those male characters are!

BlueBelle Wed 08-Nov-23 22:44:43

Well I enjoyed it ( although I did fall asleep in the last ten minutes so will have to go over the last bit on my ipad) I wasn’t bored just tired
Where have I seen the black guy before ?

Callistemon21 Wed 08-Nov-23 22:56:47

I fell asleep during The Repair Shop so don't know if they fitted Teddy back together with nuts and bolts or used a more child-friendly method.
Not quite as gruesome as Shetland but nearly!!

A lot of the men look similar, wear similar clothes, I'm getting confused.

Callistemon21 Wed 08-Nov-23 22:58:05

Where have I seen the black guy before ?

I don't know but I don't think he played a baddie, he seems too nice to be a ruthless murderer!

Well apparently he was a baddie in East Enders too.
I've never watched it!

He also played a policeman in a serial a few years back, can`t remember the title.

I hope they do not introduce any more characters, there are far too many to remember. I cannot distinguish the goodies from the badies. The weird family seem to increase in number with each episode.

I’m glad I’m not the only one but I am enjoying it.

Happy it’s not only me who is confused about the characters.

I’m new to Shetland . I’m not sure how I missed all the previous series in recent years but I’m glad I’ve started watching now.

It was funny to see the actress who was forced to harbour the 2 gunmen in her croft. She was in a CBeebies series Katie Morag and I loved watching it with my grandchildren about 10 years ago. It was filmed on the Isle of Lewis and Katie Morag spent a lot of time on adventures with her “Granny Island” who was a feisty woman who lived alone on a remote croft . It looks like they’ve even used the same wardrobe for her character in Shetland. I found myself saying last night “please don’t shoot Granny Island ! I’ve attached a pic from Katie Morag series.

Can't take to the new sour-faced boss. They should have axed it with Henshall; it was his show imo.

Oreo Thu 09-Nov-23 13:34:25

I like all the characters except for Ashley Jensen I don’t think she is convincing in this series.
I miss Dougie ☹️

Visgir1 Thu 09-Nov-23 14:15:03

Thought it was good, nice to see a femail double act.

I was never that keen on Henshaw.
I know in the part he played a man had a miserable back story but IMO he was just so miserable.
However I always enjoy the program.

I've been wondering where Tosh's partner and baby are. We are two episodes in and we haven't had a glimpse of them.
