So utterly disappointed.

It's been very difficult not to be aware of the complications surrounding the transmission of this final episode, and one does of course have to think about the various other people involved in making this.

The episode itself, it was difficult to have the same take on it, but overall I was a little bit disappointed, I found this pretty slow, and the outcome was the one that I had been expecting. The twist at the end, I'm not sure if it worked or not.

One thing I would have to pick up on, does nobody in these flats look out of their window, or catch sight of a reflective glare? Some elements of it have been very much far fetched.

Thirty five minutes of nothing at all happening, and a very good final ten minutes, Roache showing once again how good she is.

A bit of a sad ending all round I'd say, 5/10.

Episode 5

Warning: Spoilers
Viewpoint will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Primarily the newspaper reveal of the past misbehaviour of star Noel Clarke during its transmissions, something he has now apologised for. My thoughts are for the victims.

The final episode homes in on a main suspect, someone who was maybe under the radar until the penultimate episode.

However I thought it required some unwieldy writing to instal some further twists and turns.

I was not surprised by the final reveal. Zoe's alcoholism had to lead somewhere. I'm just surprised she did not clean up during the time Martin was in hospital.

As for the surveillance team. Quite a lot of them need to be suspended.

Just not very good

I'm always happy to suspend my disbelief but it doesn't stretch far enough for this one. The whole premise was unlikely, unbelievable and unconvincing. There are so many brilliant thrillers out there these days, there's no need to waste time watching this one.
