How Red Is Your Herring?

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 22 August 2016]

Things continue to develop. We now have the introduction of characters a who claim to have spoken to Danny. Beth is pursued by a guy who tells her that the person who killed her child is someone she knows well and to stop trying to find out who it is. She is so vulnerable, she begins to seek this man out. She is also pregnant and the young local priest checks on her. Are his attentions honorable. Meanwhile, Mark is caught in a lie, having had a fling that night with the local hotel owner. His lies and brings suspicion upon his good friend, whom he asks to lie for him. Alec is beside himself. He has some connection with the reporter who refers to something he did in the past. There is so much to wonder about, including the interview with Ellie's son, a friend of the deceased. He is hiding something, it would appear. There is also blood evidence on Mark's boat, making the closing scene really interesting.

Such a good series.

The Police want to talk to Mark, when he refuses to provide an alibi for the night of his poor son's murder.

Where do you begin? There is so much going on, but it's so cohesive, we are getting more characters, more plot twists, and more lies, but nothing reels loose, the story is only getting more baffling, and better.

It's the dynamic between the two Detectives that's making it more interesting, she's so open, so upfront, she says what she thinks, he's the reverse, guarded, doesn't give away much, but what is he hiding?

It's terrific, 9/10.

New important information about the case and about a main character. The story continues smoothly and it's getting more interesting and intricate. I like it!

This was a good episode I reckon. We just finished a nice dinner with wine and stuff and the kids went to bed pretty easily so we had plenty of time to watch a bit of telly. When we we not to put it on for some reason the streaming service wasn't working and we didn't know if the telly was stuffed or if the internet was the problem. I turned the telly off and then on again and then I reset the router and everything seemed to be working ok so we finally got to watch it. When it came on it said episode 3 but I only remove watching one episode the night before. I must have been a bit drunk the night before.

Really enjoyed the way he told the nosy reporter off. It would have been better if he had thrown her out of the store. The irresponsibility of the reporters really show why they are hated so much in society.

So the DAD is having bad dreams? Yeah, big who cares.

The kill house is on the cliff. One obviously that Danny could not have jumped off of. The body, obviously was moved down to the beach. Why move him there? They finally get a clue that the body didn't fall or fly off the cliff. That little tidbit was obvious from the beginning. Some really dumb stupid 'detectives' are finally starting to catch up.

Danny's Mom is starting to see odd behavior from DAD. Oh finally they ARREst him for obstructing the investigation. GOOD! Because the Dad is obviously an A, even if he didn't do the murder.

Love the psychic showing up again.

Gotta admit, the weirdness factor that has kicked in in this show is starting to appeal. +1 Star 6/10.
