They said straight after there will be a new series.  

 

And of course they will as they will now have the lead to chase from the video of Dot's death, somehow picked up years after the event even though I am sure it was watched 100s of times before.

Ok Sherlock.

 

I feel you have to take this show a bit less literally..

Enjoyed it again like I have enjoyed the others but have to agree that it seemed a daft sort of ending. Also think there wasn’t as many twists as normal either. There was no shock that Bigelloe was involved somehow and the copper at the end too was shady from the first time you saw her

Just thought it was lazy writing.  A crap twist.

 

Arnott saw a still image of something that had been widely available for review in video form for a couple of years, and decided that H wasn't an initial anymore, it was something else.  

 

Too contrived for my liking.

 

I guess it is difficult to keep a story running, when you don't know how more series you are going to do, but I thought it was particularly poor writing to go down that route.

It reeks of TV execs demanding rewritten scripts to get more longevity out of the series.  In the end I didn't think any of the storylines had a satisfying payoff.  Gill doesn't give up anything yet gets put into witpro.  Why did Hasting's only hide half of the money?  He didn't know about Corbett.  Lisa's character was the most disappointing for me, what was even the point of her in the end?  If she'd been a long time informant, which would have explained the familiarity between her and Hasting's a couple of episodes ago, I'd have bought it.  In the end it just turned out to be piss poor acting or directing.

 

It was a turd of a season.

 

Highlight was Kate telling diet-Kate to piss off.

Agreed.  Pretty good series for 4 episodes, then all a bit crap after Corbett was killed.  

 

I know there are a few red herrings to be thrown about here and there, but why did we have McQueen a quivering wreck at two points during the series?

Mercurio gave this interview at some point:

I thought it was an entertaining finale, if a bit silly at times.
