Unforgotten: Episode #5.6 (2023)
Season 5, Episode 6
5/10
Episode 6

The series concludes but I could not help getting the feeling that it ended up in a cul de sac of its own making.

By this time, DI Sunny Khan and DCI Jessie James only have two realistic suspects. It is either Lord Tony Hume or Karol Wojski.

There were revelations regarding Ebele Falade's real paternity and the long term ramifications of it.

The show got mired in some flat footed political lecturing. However well meaning the intentions it came across as blunt rather than nuanced.

It led to the real problem with Jay Royce. An unreliable person whose testimony is taken at face value by the cops.

Royce is the guy who in the first episode mugged a pregnant woman and left her badly injured. So he could buy drugs for himself and his junkie girlfriend.

It reminded me of the real life situation from a decade ago. How an unreliable witness named some high profile Tory grandees of being involved in a child abuse scandal at Westminster. It turned out to be a tissue of lies.
