First two episodes pretty good , then an absolutely shite final one - loads of loose ends and unanswered questions - MrsbeanZ was not impressed.

Agree. Looked like they wanted to make a 5 part show then thought sod it that'll do. Shame, would've been good with a better ending.

haha we were thinking that, utter garbage episode. didnt understand it at all, was she hiding the pills under her tongue to pretend having taken them, no. then to have all that knowledge of jump starting cars, airbags etc, absolute b*ll*cks. didnt understand what that blonde lass had on paula either to lead to her getting arrested. also didnt understand why paula was arrested at the end and ellen wasnt, i thought the police were coming for ellen cos she'd 'nicked her baby and paula was helping find her'.

confusing and sh1t.

This is exactly what I thought, shame as the first two episodes were really good.

I enjoyed watching it but last night was weird! Also what's with the street that Ellen lived on where she blocked the road completely when she parked?

Poor final episode. The mechanical expertise thing was funny though.

Rushed last episode. However this seems to be the norm with dramas nowadays.

It was all a bit "Right we've developed all the characters, built the tension - how much screen time have we got left? Five minutes? Shit, best scribble a happy ending in quick!"

The James Bond makeover was particularly out of character, didn;t really suit the way the rest of the film had been put together and a poor way to get a sedated (at best) woman out of a car when so many others were available.

My wife has been watching it and I sat in for the last episode. It was rubbish.

Why did she try and poison her with viagra?

Why was the nutter woman taken by Plod to the library so they could arrest her? Without speaking.

And despite having her life dismantled by a loon, everything just worked out at the end. Partly because Dougray looked at her in a funny way.

Load of tosh.

I really enjoyed the first 2! It had the right level of creepiness and unusually for a British drama, the script wasn't completely naff!
Then, last night! I sat there ๐Ÿ˜ฏ it turned into a bleedin comedy! What a let-down.
