This new BBC drama has a stellar cast and it was an intriguing first episode. Looks as if it will be worth following.

But I ask you .....who on earth would want a job delivering pizzas?!!! wink

    Haha, nice one 'm', it is a perilous occupation laughing

    I too thought it was a good opening episode and looking to be very interesting indeed.

    Yes it looks to be a good series. I wonder if the young lad that was stopped from delivering the pizza in the first place was now regretting he had not been shot!!!

    Perhaps we now have to have a bit more respect for Pizza delivery driverswink

    First episode was brilliantly acted with a great story line. Hope the subsequent episodes continue in that vein.

    Will have to do that on catchup. Watched the first instalment of Trauma instead as that runs on consecutive nights and Collateral will give more time to get it on Iplayer.

    If there is a series clash we always record the ITV one and watch the BBC one live so we can skip the adverts on the recording.

    we know who killed the pizza guy but who did the ordering?? ( of the killing). I'd say keep your eye on the MP.

    The rational for the killings seems very odd but no doubt it will become clearer as times goes by. You might need to keep an eye on the MP for all sorts of reasons but, as yet, I can't see any motive or evidence that he is involved but you never know.

    So do I normally but as Trauma runs on three consecutive nights, I thought I might be pushed for time to catch up.

    Good opening episode and a decent plot is building nicely.

    Is it becoming a little bit clearer now? I wonder if the women soldier has been duped  into killing someone on false pretences? I was thinking it was revenge for the fact that one or two of the people smugglers were shot on the boat by the lad on the moped that was shot in the first episode. We also don't yet know what happened to her father and brother! Final episode next week.

    Very disjointed after a promising first episode, IMHO. Glad there's only one more episode to go to be honest.

    Last night's episode was certainly interesting although a bit disjointed. The actor playing the politician was very convincing.. The female soldier's acting was not so good,  Good series though.

    Last night we were introduced to more characters in the tangled web which I think will make the final episode essential viewing. I suspect it's deliberately disjointed to throw us off the scent. The thing that puzzles me is what part in the plot, if any, the MP and his former partner play as they are both high profile actors?

    I was going to watch it on catch up, don't think I will bother now you have all revealed the plot.

    Revealed be blowed. I've no idea what's going on and I'm not sure I care any more.

    I suppose as more parts of the jigsaw got put in place the clearer it became. The main man still got away! I am still unsure why the MP part was figure so much as it didn't really have anything to do with the main storyline? I did enjoy the series.

    The problem I have is that we seem to be watching so many detective series at the moment that they all get a bit fused together!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who got muddled. Whilst the acting was good, I didn't think much of the plot line. Now it has ended, I'm not sure what it was all about.

    The final episode was interesting but too many story lines were left open, which leads me to think that there will be a subsequent series in the not too distant future.
