Now that I've watched season 3, I'm even more impressed. The decision to shoot it in a more conventional "film narrative" style has totally improved the overall professionalism, enjoyment and production values of the show for me. We can now focus on the actors to convey all the tension, emotion and pathos instead of being distracted and annoyed by the past intrusive "reality tv" camera work which cheapened the quality and direction of the show in my option and made it appear less professional than it deserved to be.
The opening episode took us straight into exciting dramatic twists and turns with superb writing and acting and then the following whole season just rocked.
However, I was surprised how closely the storyline resembled that of an excellent Welsh TV series (I can't remember the name) but I guess the sad truth is that the same scenario is all too common in real life.
I liked the action at the end of the season (although a little over the top perhaps without giving spoilers) and enjoyed watching Fleming come into her own with more confidence even if it was a bit disappointing to watch how it affects her relationship with Arnott. There's such a truth to the way the writer shows this kind of development (in a certain type of person's approach to their career) I almost feel like he is molding her on someone he knows personally. She acts it out superbly.
I look forward to seeing how it affects the core group in Season 4.
Bringing in elements from previous seasons and constantly expanding on character development makes this a top-notch show indeed.
(I made an additional review comment re the "Jimmy Saville" look-alike reference. at the end of season 2's reviews but it was actually meant for season 3).
