Davkaus Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) We just watched S02, E01 of BBC's Trust Me. I'm not sure I've ever been more disappointed by a TV show. The first series was brilliant. It was 4 episodes featuring a nurse who loses her job due to whistleblowing, and steals the identity of an doctor who's migrated, going on to impersonate her in her role as an A+E doctor. Good writing, good cast, decently written and shot. It's definitely worth a watch. Then Jodie Whittaker left to work on Dr Who. Series 2 has a completely different premise, tone, cast, even cinematography. It's some ridiculous, poorly written 'murder mystery nonsense following a soldier who gets admitted to a hospital where patients are dying suspiciously. It literally have nothing to do with the first series other than the title, and being set in a hospital. Utterly shite. They should have just canned it after series 1.

Stevo985 Posted May 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2019 Yeah pretty underwhelming. Great performance from Dunbar but I wasn't that enamoured with the whole series really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I hope they don't plan to drag it out much longer. They should try and wrap it all up next series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the first and last episodes (kinda by chance more than anything). Yep as a snarky e4 sitcom goes, it’s good. A bit inbetweeners-esque in places. Alexa Davies has been good in pretty much everything I’ve seen her in, much like Charlotte Ritchie, while underused in the episodes I’ve seen, is always a very likeable presence. I reckon bigger things for both of them in years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 What a great show 'Line of Duty' on the BBC is! I've been engaged throughout its whole run. But what I can't believe is that big reveal of H . . . Spoiler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyable, fun, just the right amount of self referential humour. And some actual decent detective work. A very good updated reworking of the text material. I remember reading an interview with one of the writers for the second series where they basically said “to hell with the deferred pleasure, we want to do the most well known stories now”. I remember thinking at the time that was a bold, potentially dangerous move. Especially doing the Sherlock-Moriaty confrontation so early doesn’t really leave you anywhere to go. And as such the episodes since have massively suffered. Aimless. Series 3 was too self knowing, too full of itself. Series 4 was just terrible, frankly. Nonsensical. I don’t watch it religiously but Elementary is, for the most part, an enjoyable “whodunnit”, with a nice take on the Holmes-Watson dynamic progressing throughout, both Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu are really good and you can tell they’re enjoying themselves. I think it’s ambitions as a show are not quite as high, but it’s the better for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seemed to be too many story strands running at the same time and I was just confused on what cases each detective was investigating. They should of just focused on Bosch and the Opioid pill scam and possibly 1 other story thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 This one is getting pretty good reviews. It's a scary fascinating subject and really good actors in it so will check it out. first episode of 5 airs today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Gill would have known who the top dog was as she was high up in the OCG herself. She's managed to get a new identity but without giving out any info? Plus there is no way Ted would still be commanding AC12 after all that happened. He'd have been advised to retire straight away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But......but....but....they'll need him for series 6, which the disciplinary panel took in to consideration as much as his years of service I agree about the morse code stuff.....i mean, whenever I'm about to take my last few breaths on this planet i will definitely remember my morse code knowledge and tap out a telling message, despite being riddled with bullets.......or however I do croak it ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I wish I had a tenner for every time Stephen Graham said " bent coppers " in line of duty . If ever a show got lost up it's own Arris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the last 4 episodes last night, HUGE improvement! They ballsed it up by going into flashback for 6 episodes, dragging things out too long. Last 4 episodes saved it though.

For me living in Sweden when it happened and having read and seen lots of articles about it it's really interesting to see it played out. It's both fascinating, scary and well acted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
