It's the day of the funeral, and Lana has taken it pretty badly, tensions arise after the bombing, far right extremists react.

I enjoyed the first episode, and that was going to be a tough act to follow, this didn't have as much going on, this was more focused on dealing with Lana's personal life.

I thought this was a somewhat lazy episode, the plot has been done multiple times before, even at these early stages, I wonder how they'll spread this plot over six episodes.

It did come to life at the end, and we were left with something of a cliffhanger.

Warren Brown's presence is welcome, is there a crime series that this guy doesn't pop up in? Vicky McClure is great though, I can't lie I feel like I'm missing Kate here.

6/10.

With Nutkins gone. The second episode deals with his funeral and his colleagues getting drunk in the pub afterwards.

The episode is meant to give Lana some character moments. I just thought Trigger Point was not meant to be that kind of drama.

It is meant to be intense and less about the characters. Here the focus on Lana and her personal life made the episode average. The writing was functional.

More important was who was responsible about the bomb that went off on the Whitehaven estate that killed Nutkins.

Lana suspects that the device and bombs were too sophisticated for Islamist terrorists. Her bosses disagree.

However there is a by election taking place and the far right are using the bombing for their own ends.

I'm not sure that I'm enthused with this side plot. A false flag operation to start a race war especially against Muslims. It is lazy and has been done so many times since 9/11.
