I watched it this week, enjoyed it but was sorry I hadn't seen the first episode. Then I found that it WAS the first episode. I watched a second time, understood it better but there does seem to be a lot to keep in mind.
I appreciated the aside that the Immigrant motorway worker who noticed the bones had trained as a doctor in Basra. 21st century life.

It was a good first episode.The earlier series were good too, the detectives have a good chemistry, believable dialogue and acting.

I love these series, the format, the forensic investigation, the painstaking detective work and the terrific array of actors brought together headed by the fabulous Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar.

In the first series it was the business guru, the priest, the football coach and the accountant in the frame. In the second: the teacher, the nurse and the barrister. Now we have the doctor, the salesman, the artist and the TV presenter. How are all these connected, I wonder?

I do like that the crime is actually solved by the end of the series and motives are explained unlike some crime dramas of late where there are a lot of loose ends or a deliberate open end meaning that a second series is in the offing. The Loch and Save Me come to mind.

I really enjoy this programme, great to have a third series. I am tempted to watch the first two series again.

schnackie Thu 19-Jul-18 11:16:32

Love this show! Watched the first two series and hope I set my box to record this as I am away for a few weeks. Otherwise, thank goodness for catch-up TV. (Although I can actually send a message from my phone to my TV to record something - from anywhere in the world. I think it must be magic.)

Atqui Thu 19-Jul-18 13:56:45

I though first episode came to a sudden end. Did we find out who killed the girl they found on the motorway?

MeltingMacaron Thu 19-Jul-18 14:02:33

Atqui That's what will be investigated over the next five episodes. The first episode was all about identifying the body and establishing the four characters who might be suspects.

Atqui Thu 19-Jul-18 15:24:47

Oh - thanks. It was the TVs commentary after that puzzled me. The presenter said we'd be back next week for another cold case ( or words to,that effect) to solve. I thought ' Hang on- we haven't solved this one yet!'

Elrel Thu 19-Jul-18 23:22:00

Melting - that worried me too. I think I'll have to watch the previous two series to get used to the format - and because the acting is so good.

MeltingMacaron Thu 19-Jul-18 23:37:57

Oh did he, Atqui? I watched on ITV Hub afterwards so I could avoid the commercials so didn't hear the continuity.

It's always the same format, Elrel. Found remains. Forensic work based on things found on or with the remains. Then a narrowing down of the time frame, a trawl through MisPer files for a match and a piecing together of the deceases history and contacts. Brilliant plotting and writing from Chris Lang.

BlueBelle Fri 20-Jul-18 02:31:47

I love it too, nothing to add
Enjoy the storyline and the acting, great

Overthehills Fri 20-Jul-18 22:25:14

Thanks Melting for that explanation. I haven’t watched the previous series (why not?!) so was a bit puzzled. Really enjoyed the first programme of this series.

annep Fri 20-Jul-18 22:27:30

Loving it. We're also binging on previous series. Always a great cast.

seacliff Mon 23-Jul-18 11:24:36

Just saw the 2nd one, such a great programme. So well done.

Charleygirl Mon 23-Jul-18 12:52:22

I have not seen the previous series but I am thoroughly enjoying this one.

I like Atqui was a bit puzzled expecting a totally new cold case as advertised.

At last something decent to watch on a Sunday evening.

Juggernaut Mon 23-Jul-18 13:02:30

We've watched the first two series and are putting bets on 'whodunnit' this time around.
Nicola Walker is a fabulous actress, if she's in anything, you can bet it's going to be good!

TerriBull Tue 24-Jul-18 09:16:10

Love this series, Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar are a great pairing. Nice to see Lymington High Street featured.

Shirleyw Fri 17-Aug-18 03:22:11
