hestia8Quite late with this. Still, off we go:
• FREDDIE FOX!
• I liked the initial set up for a number of reasons – other police officers, Lewis and Hathaway lounging about and chewing grass and all that, and obviously the (ITV) tv cameras :D
• My dad and I both recognised one of the newsreaders. Think he used to be on TV when we lived in Somerset.
• They got on TV! Amazing. “Best telly in years.” Please let the (in-show) mockery continue forever.
• My dad: “It was something else before it was Lewis, wasn’t it?”
• Why was Hathaway just sitting in a chair while Lewis searched through the room? (I have forgotten where this took place but it was early in the ep)
• I loved how competent Hathaway was this episode.
• However I do not love the continual ‘oh people who are on their own are always desperately lonely’ message they keep hammering home. There are options in between ‘coupled’ and ‘single and miserable’.
• The professor lady looked way young. And how sad, in the end, was her story with Toby Stephens? (but seriously, why did he just take the word of a newspaper article without asking for her side of the story?)
• The internet stuff was largely ridiculous (and the Barker people were all completely twattish)
• Lesley (about Hathaway): “He’s a smoothie, isn’t he, that one?”
• Three non-white people in this episode! And two of them were other police officers. I hope this is progress (show needs more characters) and not just a one-off.
• On that note, someone cast another pathologist so Hobson can get some time off. Lady needs a holiday!
• Poor Hathaway. It must be hard being so much smarter than everyone else.
• Freddie Fox plays an excellent git, I must say. And always looks like he’s been up all night.
• Thanks to this episode I had to explain the concept of internet trolling to Lesley. Lesley now thinks that people who choose to spend a lot of time on the internet (this includes me) are even odder than she thought before.
• So EVERYONE involved in the plot was connected? It seemed worse than usual in that respect.
• “I know what happened is the worst possible advert for here…” and she was still trying to shill her dating website, hahaha.
• “What makes you think I’m not attached?” Ha!
• I suspected they’d end up on that Barker website…
• And then of course they went and stayed at Hobson’s. Which. Yeah. I totally get why everyone went mad over it (you say Lewis/Hathaway, I say Lewis/Hathaway/Hobson, though…)
• “Friend called, as did a lot of people who weren’t…friends.”
• Must. Write. Fic.
• “I hope you’ve picked the right side, Sebastian, I really do.”
• WEAR GLOVES ON A CRIME SCENE AND DO IT CONSISTENTLY. COME ON, WRITERS/DIRECTORS/WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF THIS.
• Hathaway’s epic sulk face! That always adds a certain something to an episode.
• “Her automatic assumption I was single. I knew she had to be bad to the bone.”
• We (parents & I) totally did not see it coming that the dating agency lady was the killer.
• This just in: BRIONY WAS PLAYED BY ROXANNE MCKEE! (late of Hollyoaks then Game of Thrones) I thought she just looked like her…
