Season 3
Summary
Although it exhibits certain reiterations in its narrative scheme with respect to previous seasons , Unforgotten continues to be an elegant series that continues to intrigue and captivate due to the precise description of its characters, the difficulties it adds to the detective work (with its reopening and task of paleo-investigation on closed cases opportunely labeled as disappearances , given the absence of a corpus delicti), their great performances and the charisma of the leading couple of detectives.
Review
A skeleton is found in an excavation on the side of a London motorway, and detectives Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) and Sunil Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) are summoned to investigate the case.
Just as Mare of Easton picks up elements from Happy Valley, Unforgotten's affiliation with the legendary and founding crime series Prime Suspect starring Helen Mirren is undeniable, with her delving into the psychology of policemen and suspects, her abundant and tense scenes from interrogations and the practically total absence of firearms.
Already the first chapter displays an almost overwhelming range of characters apparently disconnected from each other, to later reveal their links in the following, in a classic structure of this type of police force and that in this particular series refers to circumstances that go back to a past several years ago. This adds complexity to the plot, as the circumstances of each character in general have changed since the time of the crime: current ex-wives and wives, job changes, sons and daughters who grew up, friends who have lost touch over time. And, of course, it adds many difficulties to detective work, a true reopening and paleo-investigation work on closed cases opportunely labeled as disappearances, given the absence of corpus delicti.
In this case, the suspects belong to different social backgrounds and dissimilar occupations, with personal situations that range from failure and precariousness to notoriety and success. The murderer will be revealed as a cold and fearsome character, with a truly disturbing performance by the performer of him.
As for the family problems of both detectives, they are still present, but to a lesser degree than in previous seasons.
In sum, although it exhibits certain reiterations in its narrative scheme with respect to previous seasons, Unforgotten continues to be an elegant series that continues to intrigue and captivate due to the precise description of its characters, its great performances and the charisma of the leading couple, in particular of Nicola Walker, an actress with many resources, but also with several acting tics that as time passes she knows better how to control, gaining in sobriety and forcefulness.
