Just watched the first episode of the new series on BBC2.

I enjoyed it and to me it looks like it may be another hit.

Any thoughts for or against?....Cool

    Usually on iPlayer there will be a summary to jog your memory banks. Watched the latest episode last night and agree it isn't easy to recall the previous endings and plots.

    Another watcher, a bit like Peaky blinders, gritty, well acted, well made, deep & thoughtful. . . .Not for the easily offended.

    Good to have something to watch that is interesting rather than the usual summer repeats. However I am puzzled. In the opening credits there are scenes that I don't recall seeing in the previous series like the reporter apparently being shot by a machine
    gun. Have I missed an episode?

    Yes the one eared reported definitely got machine gunned by Susan's father and his cronies.    Great series with three great lead characters/actors.    Nice to see 'Neville' from Harry Potter as the sergeant too.

    I found a little catch up programmes that was useful. Checking the days when it was broadcast we missed the last episode of the previous series when we were in France.
