There might be a Guardian blog about it; I usually rely on them to explain to me what I've been watching. Mind you, having only just got iplayer working again I'm currently catching up with several episodes of Made in Chelsea aka opium for the brain confused....

Who was the guy with the hospital letter and what tests had he gone for?

I missed the whole of the last series but then bought it on dvd but it's still a while ago when I watched it so a bit confused tonight. Why don't they put the last one of the last series on the week/night before new series and then we can refresh our memories. There are enough repeats of things on normally.

I've forgotten the details of what happened in the last series, which doesn't help.

This new series seems far too "busy" to me - with two quite complicated and unlikely plots running side by side. Still, I'll stick with it for the time being.

I agree about the adverts - a real pain.

Far to many adverts; at times I couldn't work out if I was still watching an advert or the programme [I was washing up at the time and not concentrating properly]. But there did seem to be more advert time than programme time.

Only slightly confused, shysal? I am finding it hard already. There seem to be more sub-plots than in Das Boot!

Well, that certainly started with a bang. It grabbed my interest straight away. Great drama.

Something worth watching on a Monday.

Really enjoyed it. Took a while to remember who was who though.

I'm really hoping that it's good, but it did just seem like more of the same, lots of red herrings!
I hope the two barristers make it interesting.

I was absolutely gripped from the beginning! Certainly never expected that twist - wonderful acting all round as well. Looking forward to next week's episode already...

My brain hurts! - especially after Foyle's War yesterday.

But there was good acting as before - I shall be watching next week.

I remember being unsure at the end of the first series, and I am already slightly confused following tonight's episode. However, I was really looking forward to it, so I hope I shall be able to keep up. I need subtitles to help me!
What did others think of it so far?
