No worries Bathsheba I’ll keep an open mind .

I’m hoping something nice will happen for the police lady who is so needy

I’m hoping he has been framed and is a lovely innocent man

I’d like him and her to ride off into the sunset as a couple

Ok ok I’ll stop making fantasy endings now

Haha, I was wanting all those endings too @susan_m!

Yes, that did run through my mind, but I think the complex plot was more or less 95% resolved, so I don’t know what they’d use for a new season.

Yes, me too!

I have watched the whole thing now ( it filled time when I was only able do a minimum of task ) and was pleased to find unlike many TV series all the loose ends were tied.
I won’t spoil it for anyone but found the poignant ending appropriate.

Oh, bugger, I really shouldn’t have read this thread until I’d watched all the episodes. We still have 2 to go.

I have a feeling that the ending was deliberately left open to interpretation to allow for the possibility of a 2nd series.
If that happens I don’t think I’ll bother

I want to know how the lady police officers life progresses…I hope she finds a really kind lovely chap in fact she could have her own series that would do me to be honest…

We are watching this and enjoying it. Apart from the main man I am loving Helen, the probationary cop and the double act of ā€œlemonā€ and the detective who is always disappearing to ring his wife.

It also reminds me of how vast Australia is with those long dusty roads. I bought something off Ebay and the woman said she would post it on her next trip to the nearest town which was something like 3 hours away.

I watched it too and nearly gave up only for Helen the probationary police woman ,she was brilliant ,loved seeing her stand up to her pathetic boyfriend
didn’t like the ending I felt I’d wasted my time
I was reading reviews and someone said ,why on earth didn’t someone say your obviously from N Ireland so let’s start there ha ha ha and so true

Although a good few loose ends were tied up in the final episode there are still some dangling in the wind so, a 2nd series please scriptwriters.

With nothing else that appeals elsewhere, I’ll try ā€œThe Touristā€ tonight.

Already on Episode 4 - I like the Fargo/Memento-style plot, the lead actors and the cinematogrophy.

Series 1 finished but I had to find out what happened next … so, Series 2 … set in Ireland.
