1-3 good
4-5 boring
6 ridiculous
Some questionable acting too. Nina Toussaint White did the same reaction face every time she was on camera. She barely had a proper line in the script, we just kept getting her reaction face, which was frankly a bit gormless.

I think that Keeley Hawes "leaving" the series after episode 3 meant that the rest of the series wasn't as riveting. She is a very "watchable" actress and once she'd left he had no-one to body guard and he had to carry the remaining episodes alone.
Enjoyed it though and good to hear it was so popular as this will encourage channels to make more drama and less reality TV!

I hoped halfway through that they might do what Homeland S1 failed to do and kill off another major character in the closing episode. I thought it might have been audacious to have killed off both the Home Sec and her bodyguard by the end of the series meaning that there would be no S2. But that didn’t happen. Enjoyed it nonetheless.

what Homeland S1 failed to do I thought that too - Homeland was a far better series, but that last episode felt like a cop out. Looking at Twitter, quite a few people seem a bit disappointed the car didn't blow up at the end: the getting back with wife bit was so cheesy I think viewers were expecting another twist, but I don't think the BBC would kill kids on a Sunday evening. I hope the 'not announcing that there'll be more until after the ending' thing will be something the BBC stick to - they ruined a Peaky Blinders episode 5 cliffhanger by announcing a new series before the last episode had gone out - but cheesed off they're commissioning 4 more series of this when they have badly scheduled and then cancelled several superb, inventive, original TV series recently: The Hour, Dickensian, Mapp and Lucia, The Living and the Dead, Ripper Street (picked up by Amazon), The Last Kingdom (picked up by Netflix)... |

My guess is that she isn’t really dead. It’s just some elaborate witness protection programme as she has been seen alive and well in Corfu pretending to be some 1930s mother. She’ll make a reappearance like Bobby Ewing in the famous shower scene in Dallas for the second series.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Spiro is actually revealed to be a UK Government agent who is going to kill her. It would certainly make for an interesting series of the Durrells. |

Allison Pearson in The Telegraph ( amazing a tv prog gets such media coverage) says it is a mistake to kill off your best character and we lost the sexy bits.. I agree. Same happened in Downton with one of the girls and then whatsiname. I know they left cos they wanted to do other stuff but it was a mistake to let them. |

There was some great on screen chemistry between the two leads which I would liked to of seen more of. It will be interesting to see how series 2 pans out. Do you continue the story from part 1 as there appeared to be a few loose ends with some of the characters or do you go down the road of a complete new set of characters with a brand new story? I’m certainly keen to find out. Hopefully it will be just as enjoyable (even with all the plot holes in it) as series 1. |
