One Of Us (BBC this week)

What is the body count now, please?

(I'm not watching it any longer, this is much more entertaining, so will follow on here!)

Also about the forensics they're leaving all over the place.
I usually end up shouting at the screen, 'oh fgs, this is ridiculous', especially at programmes like 'Waking the Dead'
usually the ones on the BBC now I come to think about it

Well, I have to know if all these stupid errors they have made leaving obvious evidence everywhere will be discovered or are not part of it. So I'll have to watch the rest unfortunately

We watched and yes, it's a bit OTT but sometimes, so is life. I agree with Jalima about the size of the hole for the car and the shovels.
Also about the forensics they're leaving all over the place.

I believe the son killed his brother. That their father knows something from the messages he was getting from dead son. I can't work out how dodgy or unhappy the teenage boy from the farm next door, younger brother of dead sister/daughter is.

I like the nurse daughter. she's the only one with any integrity or sense but allowed herself to be drawn in, that's the bit I do find hard to accept. Such a big conspiracy, it will never work.

Unless the drug manufacturing police inspector has to cover it all up to hide her own crime. I'll give up now and accept that those here who say its OTT may just be right. It's one of the few drama's on currently though isn't it.

Won't watch ( silly ipad)

Recorded two episides and watched half of the first tonight.We both agreed it was too unbelievable for words.Nobody acted as they really would have done, and the dialogue seemed stilted.Won't watch any more of it.

I can't watch these kinds of programmes without picking holes in them
Poor DH (although he did the same about the shovel)

Who writes them?
Enjoyable tosh

I need to rewatch it, asleep again

I'm afraid I'm losing the will to live with this. This very dark storyline was totally unbelievable from the word go, and none of the characters is remotely likeable. DH is determined to stick with it.

Well, I think it has some intriguing side stories, I don't mind some of the obvious things that are not quite right, you never know, there might be a reason for this. Anyway, I am going go continue to watch, the o.h. can fall asleep (easily).

I didn't think the hole was really big enough for the car
And we both remarked on the shovels
And the fact that the police, the journalists will never notice a pile of freshly dug earth. Perhaps they will think it was made by moles or badgers so that will be all right.

No-one seems to have cleaned up the blood, the cage, their clothes, their own car etc.
Oh dear, they deserve to be caught.

Nope. Still as dysfunctional as last week. What a shower ?. Kept watching hoping to find something gripping. Is it worth watching next week?

No better this week then?

Ok, so you use a digger to make whole big enough to get a car in, but then you start filling it in with shovels?

Just watched on catchup, I really liked it, but then I like all things dark brooding and sinister, just need better taste in men

Hinterland is set in Wales. I don't think the Scots and Welsh are all the same!

Feel a bit the same, will watch and read a book I think, I have started to play count the smiles when watching Shetland and Hinterland, and that includes the times when they are not 'working'. To say they are a dour bunch would be a big understatement.

Just watched the first epi on catch-up. Saw juliette Stevenson as the grieving, tanked up on whisky mother, and who else could do the mad, vengeful mum so well?
And don't underestimate a mother's love.

So, can confidently predict it was the Mum Wot Did It, and shan't watch again until the final episode when I'm proved right

I wanted to like it as there has been nothing watchable on telly for weeks imho. It has been written by the brothers who wrote The Missing which I thought was very good. Not sure if I like it or not. Is it just me who finds dramas set in Scotland (at least the ones I have seen) all seem to be similar, raging storms, little dialogue, dark. Dr Finlay's Casebook was never like that. Bring back Janet!

I liked it, the mystery is yet to unfold! Maybe parts of it were somewhat unrealistic, but then so are fantasy type drama series which I don't care for.

The plot is leading us to think it has to be one of the families, but there could still be an unknown character. There are more twists, I think!

I didn't really like it, thought it was OTT, but will tune in again because I dislike unsolved mysteries!

I liked it, too.

Powerful stuff, loved it. The plot didn't develop until the last 10 minutes or so.

Well, we liked it.

Oh dear! you are all on my husband's side - mind you he dislikes anything "in the dark" and that seems to be the trend these days. We shall continue to watch, I think. I think it will turn out to be quite a surprise. Has a really good cast.

Glad we're not the only ones who gave up after about twenty minutes.
