I thought this was a very, very accomplished, quality episode. The penultimate episode of the show is a brilliant one. A fantastic story, one that gets under the skin, a relevant, up to date story, with a sixties setting.
The softening of the relationship between Gently and Bacchus is well and truly undone here, all previous frustrations and hidden grudges spill over, the pair clash in a superb scene, poor Rachel in the middle.
I can't believe there's only one to go, I've watched these very slowly, and loved them. This is different to previous offerings, it's a very smart looking production, more heavy on the music, and definitely more atmospheric shots.
Really enjoyed Annamaria Marinca here, but it's the regulars that again stand out.
Excellent I thought, 9/10.
