What did you all think of the series finale?

The Poll is now open!

Here are a few Jack caps from this episode

Suspects 5.06 is now available on My5!

Couldn't agree more whimsy! Phenominal is the word I used on Twitter, its the closest word I could find to describe its beyond excellence!

Totally agree about the new lineup too - Lenora and Perry very quickly and seamlessly became a solid part of the team, as actors and characters, and Clare as Charlie - well, she's always been utterly brilliant and her promotion was a total moment for me - about bloody time! When Alisha claimed Martha's old office I felt nothing but delight and how right it felt. Kudos to the creators for not only making the cast transition smooth but for creating a new team we already love and are invested in.

Suspects isn't about Jack for me but without Jack it won't be the same for me. And the only reason we're having the convo now due to that confusing continuity announcement which has left us all a bit bewildered so fingers crossed for news soon! 

Series 6 has to be an inevitability after setting up the new team so well and let's not forget the final answer to our 10 questions with the creators .....

Phenominal is right!  That was a fantastic end to what has been an outstanding series!  There were so many threads to be pulled together...and there were so many unexpected turn of events along the way!  I honestly believe that concentrating on plot rather than scripted dialogue has helped to make this programme - and especially this series - one of the most exciting dramas on tv....it allows for so much to happen so quickly without carefully planned and scripted conversations slowing down the action and muddying the main plot points.

The acting has been outstanding....and the new cast members have been excellent (although I confesssss ()I did have a couple of severe Annie moments this week) 

It really did seem right for Alisha to be made the new DI - and I was totally expecting it - and when she walked into 'Martha's' office was a strangely lovely moment.  I was also expecting Gary and Charlie to both get their promotions.....  This expectation had made me really nervous that - the original staus quo having been re-established -  it meant this would be Jack's last series.  So when Alisha said that Jack was staying I whooped with joy!!  When the continuity announcer questioned whether we would see him again I immediately had to find my recording and listen to check if I'd imagined it!!! 

I can't imagine that this would be the last series....it is the jewel of channel 5 and they have just established an excellent new team.  But it seems unfathomable to me that Alisha would make the assertion that he was staying if there was no intention for Jack to appear in the next series.  It would absolutely be too cruel to write him out between series!  That obviously happened to Martha because Faye wanted to leave the series to film Cold Feet though.  If the Suspects team have some exciting news coming soon.....and Damien is currently appearing on stage until mid December.......

I'm not even prepared to finish that sentence.

This season was great.  I'm glad to see Jack working with the team and hope he will continue to do so, but feel like he probably won't. He'll change his ways for a while but probably slip back.  I have to say I'm glad Drummond was caught but I am sad to see James Murray go.  He was truly excellent.  I sill miss Defiance and it was good to see him again. 

I didn't hear the continuity announcement.  I'm sure that was just something to keep people interested until the next season.  I was so relieved when Alisha said that Jack would be staying.  Though at the same time it seemed obvious to me that he would be by that point since he was working with the team.
