4 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers - fantastic ending is you don't have a brain.

(Edit I had only just watched it so didn't know it was based on a book so I don't know where the blame lies)

Seriously series was great, but episode just left me with quests?

So many simple issues with a great series.

The writers didn't think Dicky while being driven off to his death (maybe) might just say, him that man there he has your money and blew up my trucks while pointing at Pine. Who is stood right there?

And on that money where did Pine he transfer it too?

The government woman? Because his accounts would all be frozen as a man on the run for murder, drug trafficking theft and identity theft?

Dicky or the others didn't teach him how to set up fony accounts, shell companies or anything else.

Also why would they give him the passwords to that account?

His retina scan yes, his name on the account yea. He's the straw man he shouldn't be actually be able to access anything important, maybe a card with a hundred K on there so he feel like he can pay his own way?

Also not leaving at least 2 security in the hotel room while your out ? Or posted outside on rotation that's just bad planning.

And the other deals were far smaller with on going buyers? Did the writers just do the first few episodes then watch murder in paradise and think oh yea let's do that.

Ragging on it but only because I really enjoyed the series, regular BBC issues and all.

It feels like they didn't know how to end it so rushed it or ran out of money.

Would have been nice to see Dicky get out after a week or two. Or Pine run off with the phone and just blow up the meeting and everyone who was there.

Still a great show just a shame about the ending as there isn't a spin off or second series (apparently now there is)
