Well, I've got to run. I need to finish dinner. It's been fun as always but I wish I had managed a real nap before the chat. I've been struggling all evening.
Have a good evening y'all.

I am confident that "yet" is the operative word Whimsy. It's just frustrating. And obviously someone else sees it or he would not get the roles, but still. I think you know what I mean.

Jack has the experience so feels he can be more of a maverick - Charlie needs to show that she does things the right way at this stage in her career. But is Jack too confident? He thinks he's untouchable. The rules are there for a reason.
Both in the stages of their careers, but also in their personalities I think. Charlie is a "by the book" type of person. And very methodical. That is her strength. She's ferreted out so much in all their investigations. Jack on the other hand has had quite a different career path than her. After all, he was in the Flying Squad, right. They are put into situations where they need to make split second, often life/death decisions. Shoot first, ask questions later. But also he comes from a long line of police. It's in his blood. So both their careers and personalities have influenced their styles.
As an aside, I felt Charlie got shafted this series, both in terms of relationship within the group, and also in terms of lack of backstory. And I hope that is remedied next series!

before the chat veers off in a more general direction... can we just mention the very last scene?
Charlie arrives, Jack is sitting over Edward with blood on his hands...
what did we all think has happened, on first viewing?
To Be Honest domino, as I said before, I almost hoped he HAD done something very bad to Edward. And also I had many Hal feels with the blood.

I agree with you on Charlie getting kind of shafted this series, Whimsy. I'm glad we got to learn more about Jack and Martha though. Maybe next series will focus more on Charlie.

When Jack says "he's dead!" "he's fucking dead!" the ambiguity is there .... he doesn't want him dead he want to send him down.... that is what gave it away that he didn't kill him, he did not want him dead.
Agree with that Rosie..and the fact that she wondered, shows how troubled she has been / is by jack's potential to go off the rails.
HLH I guess it could have been someone connected to the whole paedophile hunt thing, it briefly crossed my mind about Rose and Kelly..... but at this point in time it hadn't entered my mind that there were unknown others could be involved in this case.

The first time, I thought it sounded more like he was dismissing him. Like he didn't want Charlie to keep questioning because he might have been guilty after all. (but in hindsight that doesn't make as much sense) It's weird the confusion that goes through your head in that intense moment. And that's I feel perfectly capturing the confusion Charlie probably felt!

I was confused at how they scheduled S2, but at the time, faced with that type of cliffhanger, I was grateful to only have to wait one day to find out the truth!
