Vigil (BBC)

Indeed, i actually enjoyed it 👍

For me, the last 30 min could/should have been replaced with somee factual info about the real world trident submarines. Or the show should have an add-on episode that deals with this.

Given that the whole thing seems to have been conceived to draw attention to the state of these submarines; because the plot itself kinda got thrown away once dowrad was captured (or arguably before then). If it was just a who-dunnit in a sub, there was no need for the political and romantic nonsense ending; we could happily have ended with Amy climbing the ladder.

By the end were left with no idea if any of what was shown of how these Doc's exist and operate is remotely realistic, and lots of pictures online already showing that they're not even physically similar.

I'd stuck with the entire series (foolishly), not much alternatives at that hour on a Sunday evening, thought they couldn't possibly end it as badly as they started it , I was proven wrong.

Overall thought it was decent and certainly superior to any of the simplistic formulaic nonsense served up by RTE recently.

Life's equally to short for you to be waiting for posters to explain themselves

Would have worked better as a 2 hour movie. Lot of premises like that being stretched out cos everything has to be a miniseries now on TV. Some stuff works better when you can watch it in one night, doesnt overstay its welcome by throwing in more and more red herrings and side plots.

Same. I genuinely expected that Suranne’s story was going to be messed up memories because of her earlier trauma - or that there’d be a previously unrevealed Russian connection with one of the main characters. But instead, it just petered out.

For me, there was far too much focus on the relationship and the kid. I had no interest in the story about the kid, and the volume of relationship flashbacks just became boring. So for the last half hour of the finale to focus on that just meant that the series faded into boring by the end. Preposterous plot lines, I can handle. But boredom isn’t good.

Was watching Silent Witness last night, which BTW is total crap. Do BBC have to bring these these Lesbian sub plots into all drama's now?

Doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. Just sayin’.

It started well so much promised but ended crap

You get the impression it could be great and then you think she might be wanted home to decide on wallpaper for the living room.
