Strongly recommend the new BBC Scotland black (very black) comedy Guilt - think its also being shown on BB2? Anyway its on I-player if you have access to that.
Oooo… love me a bit black comedy. Will look out for this.
Best wishes,
Steve
if you've ever had the misfortune to have to deal with the Edinburgh legal establishment then you'll find one of the central characters all too familiar.
Its up to episode 2, there are only 4 and its fair to say everyone is lieing to pretty much everyone else.

Right so I've got to the end of episode 2 and I see what you mean about everyone lying to everyone else....
Certainly looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

Well
The Dublin Murders came to an end tonight and I have to say I found that thoroughly enjoyable, Sarah Greene was a delight to watch, Killian Scott is a fine actor, Conleth Hill (Lord Varys) was good value, but the surprise was at the end and a very, very fine performance from the baddie (don't worry no spoilers here [:)])
Thanks for not revealing any spoilers and thanks again for recommending this series. I have watched the five episodes so far, will watch the sixth tomorrow. I have been enjoying the series hugely.
Best wishes,
Steve
Episode 6 took us into fantasy land and it has soured my experience with this series. Will watch the remaining two episodes but they will need to salvage the series for me because, as it stands, it is seriously flawed thanks to episode 6.
Best wishes,
Steve

Mmmm I think you are coming at this from the wrong angle. You need to take a more cerebral approach here. Allow me to explain.
Sarah Greene. I would.

In all seriousness I think episodes 7 and 8 saved the show overall. I certainly think one element of this story was stretching credibility - but it stayed just about on course and more importantly it wasn't the main story plot. I thought that was well done [:)].

You make a good point. However, I like my dark and gritty murder mysteries to be believable and consistent... not to degenerate into farce over the course of 57 minutes.
Up to episode 5 would rate the series so far 9.5/10.
Up to episode 6 would rate the series so far 7.5/10
Up to episode 6 without the Sarah Greene effect 6.5/10
I really hope episodes 7 and 8 recover some that lost ground.
Episode 6 really disappointed me.
Best wishes,
Steve

I think (and earnestly hope) it does. But if, as you watch 7 and even 8, you find that 6 is still gnawing away at you like a rat at Castle Harrenhal, then just console yourself with the thought that there will be a scene with Ms Greene in a few minutes

Just watched episode 3 and things continue to ramp up... hopefully not an accurate depiction of the Edinburgh legal establishment [;)]
You said only 4 episodes so with just the 1 left its not at all clear how this is going to end for each of the parties but there are too many twists and turns here for everything to be wrapped up in 1 hour. So I am guessing a second series?
What is clear is that Jake, Angie and (and maybe Claire and Kenny) are the characters to be rooting for here.

actually 'Max' is all too easily recognisable, as is the plot device of Scottish Limited Partnerships (SLPs) as the tool of choice for money laundering - enthusiastically enabled by that very legal establishment. It took 5 years of campaigning to get the UK Parliament to close it off (while it was based in a concept of Scots Law the legislation to close it down was reserved so it couldn't be done by the Scottish Parliament)
but yes, I'm a bit unsure how they intend to pull all this together

Ok...
Just finished episode 8 and, thankfully, the last two episodes did redeem the travesty that was episode 6.
Overall, very much enjoyed the series and would give it 9/10 on the shunwickometer. I know Cassie admitted that they shouldn't have gone into that house and blamed it on her and her handler being out of control. But, honestly, they would have to have been demented to even imagine they could pull that off.
A very good but flawed series.
Will start watching Loki100's recommendation of Guilt tomorrow.
Did you watch the first episode of His Dark Materials? For me, the jury is out so far. Some things I liked, some things not so much. Still early in the series at the moment, though, and saw enough to keep me watching.
Best wishes,
Steve

Glad you stuck with it and agreed it was worth it [:)]
What did you think of the performance of the 'baddie'? I though that was a highlight.
As for
His Dark Materials, I am really not feeling it from the clips I've seen, but will defo watch it. However, the plan is to watch the series in bulk over Christmas when my elder little cruiser is home from Uni.

One of the most appalling baddies I have seen in a murder mystery for a while. Yes, a great performance and the main reason I would give a 9 rather than an 8.5. All the performances were top notch. It was a high quality production all round.
