Omg....I’m addicted to this show. I am also addicted to Vera. Live in Jersey, USA. Can’t get these shows on my cable. I can’t get enough of this new series I just found...which I guess was an older series. Omg. I love the characters. Great acting. Thank you fir sharing these. 👍🙏🏻💫💖
So glad that Mike (David Hayman) and the Kate Buffery character broke up. I remember when I first this episode, it was really jarring to have these 2 have their soap-opera-style scenes that were annoying and unnecessary. Also irritating was the interaction between Mike and his needy, helpless ex-wife. Why they didn't have his character just tell her to shut it and hang up the phone, I'll never know. The relationship between Mike and Pat could have worked, but she wasn't willing to support Mike emotionally (we saw in not only this episode but in previous ones how she was made to be a tough-as-nails, ungracious character who had no understanding on how to be kind, supportive, empathic. Both she and Mike were unloveable characters and it really showed in this episode. Why was Mike made to be blubbery and weak when they broke up? Just another way of trying to show that men are more pathetic than women in every way? It was a great relief to have the Pat character leave and to be replaced with Rosin. Gripping series, love Linda La Plante's stories, am a huge fan of Prime Suspect. The acting in this series is superb.
I must have watched a different episode than klientproby watched. In this episode Mike and Pat did not break up. I haven’t watched any later episodes thus far. It seemed to me Pat was always the one trying to communicate in their relationship but Mike was always avoiding it. The notion of living together while Mike was still legally married was a big mistake. It takes a good year, at least to get one’s head together after a divorce and getting into another relationship before a divorce is insane. It’s a recipe for disaster. Healing from a loss like divorce takes time, solitary self examination and emotional stability, which should precede any future relationships. Mike always used work as an excuse to avoid talking about daily life with Pat. He was self absorbed with his job, his pressures and never thought to ask Pat about how she was aside from her job.
I love this show. The only thing I don't like is the relationship part of it. DO WE, DON'T WE, ARE WE , WILL WE. to me it is just piffle. Alright have some of it but it has yawn value after a very short while. Other than that, the Brits do these shows brilliantly !!
Is it really possible that a police officer would ask a woman such a strikingly intimate question in front of her husband, or anyone for that matter? Unbelievable.
Or placed in a dustbin, don't start me on this one sweetheart, check the result of medical positive pregnancy tests, to the number of new born children. Then consider many pregnancies did not go through a Doctor, and get recorded?, Meanwhile pathetic people scream and shout for the hard pushed NHS to fund hugely EXPENSIVE IVF treatment, never wishing to even think about adopting.IF IT DON'T COME FROM MY CUNT. IT AIN'T MY BABY!!!!!!. SELFISH BARSTARDS!
I must say, this is one hell of a series. I'm addicted to it. I can't quit figure out how to get through season 1 and then there's no way to get all the episodes in order. Thats upsetting..I don't want to miss any, unfortunately im starting to see part one, there's definitely part 2. Again, unfortunately part 2 of the episode doesn't play.. HELP ME, PLEASE!
David Hayman is a great actor. He has certainly made his character Mike Walker thoroughly pompous and insufferable most of the time, with few redeeming features. Kate Buffery has done the same with her character. They both become flawed, irritating characters which proves that they’re both accomplished actors, in my opinion. They’ve done their best with an irksome script which brought in an unnecessary soap opera plot to an otherwise good show. To watch some of the other roles in which they’ve been cast and you can see how well they’ve performed here.
When I began watching this series I thought that David Hayman's character was beautifully developed by Lydia LaPlante and very well played by Hayman too. But as I kept watching I began to wonder if this character could be in part based on David Hayman's actual personality. Lo and behold with a quick search I learned my second thought may be true after all. I feel as though I am a moth being drawn to a light bulb and of course will continue watching hoping this self obsessed character gets all he deserves.
Not a likeable character for sure! But a very good actor. The Pat character was unlikeable as well. Buffery seems to play abrasive, horrible women. She was the same in an episode of Midsommer Murders.
I think the plots are really good, and the actors are great, but the only thing spoiling it all are Pat and Mike's ridiculous relationship!! STOP IT!!!
@@klientprobyI couldn't agree more. Another great crime drama series that fell into the same pit as so many previously good series and let the personal lives of the main characters take over. Boring, lazy writing and production. I guess it takes work for a crime series to concentrate on crime. Shame this one lost the plot.
I totally agree! I especially hate it when characters start having intimate romantic relations. I mean if I wanted to watch romance, I'd watch soppy movies, not crime mysteries.
That gorgeous girl in medical records is a very young Naomie Harris! You know Miss Pennyfeather in the last Daniel Craig 007. This pandemic is turning me into a real cinephile. I guess we’re all learning new tricks. 🤫
You are quite right........but....rewatch from 1.37.12 onwards and listen to what the Mother had to say about the relationship between Kathleen and her Father.....you will get clarification of the situation.
Please don't let her hurt me anymore. Someone with some knowledge. Would a person in her mental state really say this? or would she just clam up about it?
At the very end, Mike goes home and Pat asks about the case. Then Mike reveals who was responsible for the murders. I won't put the answer here In case someone reads the comments before watching the episode.
@Emily Cali Criminal Minds was a brilliant TV program. And it was an American program. But to compare the loonies from both Criminal Minds and this show, yep there's similarities. But you also get these loonies in real life too unfortunately
Love this show but Walker hits a cigarette like it is the only way he can get oxygen, you know he smells like an ashtray 24/7, why .....he smokes up a room with one hit
Pat is very annoying in this episode .... unreasonable and selfish. Millions of women around the world lose babies every day and life goes on....so pathetic her whining. She was ambivalent about having a baby in the first place and suddenly she is falling apart....unconvincing.
You can't dismiss someone's pain because "many ppl suffer". We see her deny her pain in the beginning and when she finally lets herself grieve, she can move on. Maybe the focus on her grief bores or annoys you but to others it may be relatable. And just because she was unsure about the baby doesn't mean she won't feel the loss. She had decided to keep it so obviously it's difficult for her. This might actually help someone who is going through a similar experience.
Geez. What a badly scripted bs. All that pauses for effect, so badly acted, too leading characters are really limited. All that "Mike" character convinced me about is that he is a nasty alcoholic bugger in real life.
