Scott and Bailey back on

I 'm another in the disappointed camp. I know it isn't RL but I still felt very uneasy watching the Suranne Jones character drinking heavily whilst talking about being 4 months pregnant.
I'm with mollie on seeing the issue of the teenagers taking photographs as being over stated. I accept its a serious safeguarding issue but I find it difficult to believe the investigation would be managed like this. The police are over stretched - I've known young sex offenders given a caution when in truth they ought to have been prosecuted with a view to them receiving some kind of therapeutic help with their abusive behaviour. Cautions in those circumstances were against force policy in the area I worked in but they still happened regularly. Helped the clear up rates. Surely the 16 year old girl here would accept a caution - job done.

I agree not as good as the last series.

Line of Duty far superior and Happy Valley.

I'm not enjoying this series so much as others and am glad that it's a short one. I miss Amelia Bullimore, her absence is very noticeable and I'm fed up with Suranne Jones biting everyone's head off and being an idiot. The story of the daughter's naughty photos is a steamroller to crack a hazelnut and while I guess it's technically and legally accurate, are we to think the police would waste their resources on what was obviously kids larking about?

It hardly feels like it's got going, how can it end on the 27th?

Fell asleep so was even more confused than others

Last ever episode next week - it's not being recommissioned.

They're obviously cramming as much action in as they can...

I agree - I lost the plot too.

I thought the programme last night was a mish mash of ideas and information, and eventually lost the plot! Too much happening too fast.

She's been metropolitanised, it wont last ?. I missed the last series and I enjoyed the Mancness of it all

I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I usually do. As mentioned, I missed Amelia Bullimore too and I also agree that the pace seemed different. Still, it's a lot better than some of the stuff that's on.

She was a bit of a mess in the last series, wasn't she? Drinking too much, difficult relationship with her mum, work clothes sometimes rather dishevelled.

This new version is a bit too slick and confident at the moment and I agree there isn't quite the same spark.

I was disappointed too print miss. It just didn't have the same spark for me as before.

It feels like that printmiss because she has just come back from a fast, frantic year in London. She will need to calm down I would think.

I was really disappointed in last night's episode, I rather felt that it had taken on an "American" feel. All fast talk, one sentence, a look, and then nothing. I shall continue to watch, because I like the programme, but only if, in my opinion, it gets a little more connected.

I missed Amelia Bullimore too. Brilliant series, Scott and Bailey. I liked the slight undertone of brittleness underneath all the banter between them last night, as if something personal was about to spill over but never quite did. Watch this space!

Glad to see it back but missed Amelia Bullmore in charge... They were a brilliant trio.

I enjoyed it last night, especially as I did not have to think what happened 2 series and 3 years ago! There was no sub plot that I was not aware of which made a change.

I like Lesley Sharp better, but they're both brilliant.
We have it recorded - looking forward to watching.

I have recorded it from a Flemish channel tonight, looking forward to watching it.
I really enjoy it and nice that we get the new ones at the same time.

Surrannes. such a good actress

Love Scott and Bailey..
