We all expect some unrealistic stunts, and sure enough, the film has plenty. Sadly, the killing of Ilsa to replace her with the annoying and exceedingly dumb Grace ruins this film and any that follow.

We watch as the hapless Grace constantly makes a selfish choice despite it being evident that she is up to her neck in the brown stuff. I'm not sure what else to say other than her annoying character and behaving like a spoilt child.

Do yourself a favour and do something else for the nearly three hours of endless goofs. Stabbed by a knife on the floor is one of them, but trust me, there are plenty more.

Where to begin? If somebody wants to make a fresh start and escape a violent past, they move as far away as possible. That's what you'd expect if you wanted viewers to believe in the plot. Unfortunately, Cassie moved a few miles away, which made it ludicrous from the get-go.

James Nesbitt is a great actor, but his character has to be the most useless policeman ever. He was in bed for most critical moments and often missing when required. When he did show up, he talked in riddles to his partner, who was also his ex-wife. We didn't know anything about how Dave made a living; he swanked around 99% of the time.

My wife sussed it by episode two, but somehow, it humbled along for eight episodes.

The scene where armed officers chased Ray turned into a farce. They would not discharge their weapons in a public place where metal structures meant a ricochet and subsequent stray bullet could injure or kill innocent bystanders.

Boring nonsense!

Are the writers trying to make the police look inept, or is the arrest and interview scene so poorly constructed that they couldn't come up with anything better? I do hope this improves because, at this early stage, I will ditch it without significant improvement.

The first episode was slow, and the content annoyed me. It picked up, but after three episodes, it started to reach insane levels of stupidity. Constant repetition of the same mistakes by Ned in his care of Jesse made it a snore-fest. You felt as if you had accidentally skipped back a couple of episodes.

They are driving along what appears to be a bridge. Joe swerves violently to the left, does a barrel roll and in mid-air, you see another bridge. They land on the road, no airbags deploy, and it's a different car to the one they set off in! How did they swerve across the concrete central reservation, and how did they get up and walk away unscathed?

The first episode was okay, but that is where it ended. The rest is pure drivel. The electromagnetic pulse killed most people, but the survivors also had their cognitive function impaired as they stumble around saying, and doing stupid things

Like many others I wanted this to keep me enthralled but it has failed by episode 4! It's like a remake of the keystone cops but without the humour. In one scene Hardy goes to meet a female serial killer who is holding his sister hostage. He takes Mike Weston FBI and tells him the building layout. Hardy is then knocked unconscious, bound with gaffer tape and tortured with magnets, I kid you not! Where's Weston? Finally after finishing his coffee and doughnuts, Weston ambles in and shoots the female kidnapper.

Turgid, nauseating etc You get the idea!

BINNED!!

I think they're trying to solve the case by a process of elimination. They just blunder around breaking every legal procedure almost in the hope they'll stumble across the culprit or someone will confess. To make it worse, one of the leading police officers had sex with the first suspect and said nothing at all. She even deleted CCTV evidence. Very bad show!!

I started out being unsure but after a few episodes it was good.

The mixture of comedy moments when they perform some miracle revenge act on a drug dealer or bad character made it refreshing. This meant you didn't have to take it all too seriously.

I found the plot involving Anson Fullerton added some great twists, I won't spoil them for future viewers.

Sadly the latest season is driving me insane, mainly with Michael's Mum. We keep seeing her crying and moaning about Michael claiming she want's to know who he is dealing with.

Maddy's obsession with her Grandson is nauseous and basically it ruins almost every episode. She claims she will deal with matters but she just keeps running off at the mouth and then apologising.

Seriously the writers need to give her a back seat role similar to the one she had in previous seasons. Just bring her in when dinner needs making and leave her out of the main plot.

It started out with a good plot line and a couple of twists but it went downhill fast.

Marcus Farrow was supposed to be a decent police officer, smart and savvy.

Then this smart officer went bumbling around Manchester leaving clues everywhere and more importantly leaving his finger prints at crime scenes?

It was crazy that he grabbed the knife embedded in his wife's stomach then he left his prints at Tofer Lomax's house.

It all became very sloppy overall and then in a 2 minute climax it ended.

Very disappointing when it could have been so much better
