Had a lot of fun discussing it here with you

See you back here for season 3 .

Yeah same, was fun Here's to hoping we get a good season 3!

[callipygoustp]

Just finished season 1. What a nice surprise. Great story. Great subplots. Solid acting all around. The story overall kept me guessing through out the season. Looking forward to watching season 2.

[Gallahadd]

Yeah same, was fun Here's to hoping we get a good season 3!

It's back and fuckin hell that first episode was INTENSE!

Really hope this season can keep up the levels of season one, and not fall to the same silly shit that destroyed season two.

One note though: REALLY? of all the crisis counselors in the whole fucking county, they just HAD to call up Beth fucking Lattimer?

What are the freakin chances man XD.

Also, it seems that the early suspect is the best friends husband, who we briefly saw looking suss as fuck in the garage, and then who just HAPPENED to have some condoms in his glove compartment...

Which is just way too obvious for this show, so he's basically free and clear.

Tbh, I think something happened between the attack and her reporting it... I think there is way more to this case than it would initially seem.

Can't wait to find out!

Was going to let a few episodes come out before watching but your post made me watch it lol, really good starting episode, hope it keeps up. Yeah beth becoming the counsellor is so dumb lol.

Yeah there is definitely way more to this than it seems. One of the main characters or someone close to them is going to get raped or attacked imo, it made me think it might happen to Hardy's daughter. All i know is the village idiots will make the problem much worse by telling everyone information, accusing people, or something equally dumb lol.

Either way, solid first episode and looking forward to more!

[Gallahadd]

Either way, solid first episode and looking forward to more!

Haha sorry, I'm impatient AF and no one else I know has watched the episode yet, had to get you involved.

I think you're right about someone we know getting raped, but I don't think it'll be Hardy's daughter, that's a bit extreme, isn't she meant to be like 16 or something?

I don't know why, but the fact they're back makes me think it might be one of the Latimers... Either Beth (if the rapist is fixated on his target, and see Beth in contact with her), or possible Chloe, because the Latimer's haven't qquuiittee suffered enough.

Or of course, they could always go super wrong and it could be Miller that gets attacked. I noticed RIGHT away that the initial victim looked a lot like Miller, so there's always a chance that it's her husband, come back to punish her.

Yeah could be Miller and lol didn't think of it happening to the Latimers, would make sense with them coming back into the third season.

Also I didn't think of it being Millers ex husband, not gna lie i thought he died after season 2, I guess i'm completely wrong lol. What happened after he left court (nothing i'm guessing)?

No point guessing who rapist is from first episode but it could be a woman too, used an object with a condom or w.e. Can't wait for next ep!

[Gallahadd]

Would be pretty harsh for it to happen to Chloe Latimer... first season lose their son, second season his killer walks free, third season daughter gets assaulted. You have to wonder why they don't just MOVE.

Nope, he's still alive, he just kinda... Wandered off into the sunset, it was really odd.

EDIT:

Okay... So what if it REALLY wasn't Joe Miller? The theory has been going around for ages, but what if he WAS actually covering for Tom? And now, season three roles around and Tom (who we know is now dealing Porn) is getting revenge on his mother, who sent his father away, by attacking women who look like her?

Putting this out there: If the next woman that gets attacked also bears a remarkable similarity to Miller, I'm calling Tom as the attacker.

[Solidito]

huh never thought of it being miller's son, that would be a pretty huge twist.

[Gallahadd]

I thought so... Would also go a tiny way to redeeming season 2. If it turned out that it actually WASN'T him after all.

I mean, the season was still kinda trash, but at least it's trash with a reason.

[Solidito]

Decent episode but I felt like not much happened.

Guessing she has sex with someones husband from the party and that's why she doesn't want to say who it is, that's probably who the text is from too.

Funnily enough I thought the guy who makes the Fishing line was the most suspicious, everyone else seems to obvious but something did seem off about that guy.

Also I was thinking the new detective woman/intern or w.e she is was going to do something wrong that fucks up the investigation and I guess we've found what it is, her dad being on the list of suspects (I assumed that's what it was at least) and It'll probably have something to do with that.

Edit - Forgot about Mark Lattimer, with him going on about how angry he is all the time and keeps asking questions about the case, not saying it's him but they could be setting him up to be a suspect lol.

[Gallahadd]

Tbh, it's a bit early for any major events to be occuring. I think this episode was mostly about establishing a list of suspect, who one by one will be ticked off as the weeks pass.

I've got to agree that the rope/net guy was dodge... But honestly, that could just be that he's a bit of a bellend. Sadly, as of yet that's not been made illegal.

Cab guy was pretty suspect. He's been turned down by her once, AND he was at the party, hanging around on the outskirts. That's a red flag.

Her ex has another flag, why would he not want to give his DNA sample? Suspect, or nut job? Only time will tell! But him grabing some clothes from the back of a cupboard and washing them, then scrubbing his boots doesn't really scream "I am an innocent man, I have done nothing wrong"!

Then we have cute new inspector lady, who seems to have something of a grudge against Miller, could it be something from her past that's going to explode in everyone's face? Possibly something from a previous case?

This is all compounded by the fact she's Lenny Henry's daughter, and seems to be about to tell him something important... Possibly about him being on the suspect list.

Then we have the final kurfuffle... Trish reveals that she had unprotected sex with another man on the morning of her assault, but wont reveal WHO it was... Dodgy, very dodgy.

But then, as the shows comes to a close, she recieves a text, which to me, seemed to be from the person that did it, telling her to be quiet, or else!

The plot thickens...

[Solidito]

The text was defo made to seem like it was from the rapist etc, I meant I bet it ends up being the person she had sex with (who i assume has a wife who he doesn't want to find out).

The ex defo is going to be the killer but like you said, why say no to DNA test and then wash a bunch of clothes that were in a dufflebag in a cupboard lol.

Just finished rewatching season 1, the theory of Miller's son killing the kid in season 1 imo isn't true unless they accept loopholes. In the very first episode they're told that a man with large strong hands strangled the kid to death. Might be more to the story than we know but I can't see Miller's kid doing the killing.

[Gallahadd]

Aah, that is a good point. The fact hat is was so obviously meant to seem like it was from the rapist, means that it probably wasn't. Because Broadchurch.

It does make him seem super suspect, to start scrubbing like that... but then, it also seemed suspect to burn all those pics that the Scout Leader had taken of the kids, but we all know he was clean in the end. It'll probably turn out to be the last person we ever suspected.

Ah, I'd forgotten that part... Unless the dad killed him, FOR the son. Like the son did... something, and Danny was going to report him, so Tom killed him to protect Danny.

but now I'm super reaching, so lets just pretend that I never said that, shall we? Unless it turns out to be right. Then I totally knew from the start.

Oops i meant the ex is defo NOT the killer, missed a word lol.

Lol, i mean it is possible it had something to do with Miller's son, we'll see I guess. I'm not sure if i want joe miller to show up at all, part of me wants him to show up and get the shit beat out of him, another part just wants it over and done with.

Yeah, I figured that's what you meant, from context!

I get your point... But this is the FINAL season, we kinda need some closure on that whole story. I know we got a confession from him and there's like a 90% chance it was legit.

But I can't help but think, what if it's NOT?

[Gallahadd]

Yeash, that was a fucking full on episode... Just DAMN. I really hope Chris can bring this intensity with him to Doctor Who.

As for the suspects:

"Lucas" is super dodgy. Dude seems to lie like others breath, it's insane. For a moment I thought he was just a bit of a dumbass, and was only lying to cover up his shady fare thing, but nope. Whole world of dodgy. Especially when you add in that he is the stepdad of Tom's friend, and is apparently being even more of a dickhead that usual of late.

I don't think it was her ex. I think he lied for other reasons, and despite drinking too much tequila and blacking out, I just don't see it being him. I think he'll be one of the final suspects to be written out, but he WILL eventually be written out. As for whatever was done to his laptop, I'm guessing hidden partition, probably to hide some SUPER dodgy porn.

Farm shop owner: He's a dick, that much is clear, and there is a slight whiff to his story, but I think whatever he's hiding, it's unrelated to the case. Still a dick though.

Garage owner/Husband: Dodgy guy... What was all that with the keyring at the end? There looked to be a lady on there, but I couldn't see who...

Rope Shop guy: Clearly has a sideline in tech naughtiness. This will get him in trouble, and he's SUPER dodgy for other reasons, but he seems a little too obvious.

Tom Miller: Still super wierd... There's 100% certainly something up with him.

Man, this season has been gold so far, and it's only three episodes in!

[Solidito]

The keyring at the end was lucas' (taxi guy) and it was a picture of the rape victim and her daughter (so it's her keys), which is super dodgy but it's not gna be him in the end, there's too much shit making it look like it'll be him atm.

Yeah the ex is weird, seems suspicious but he'll be ruled out. I'm guessing dodgy porn or something on the laptop like you said, probably something like rape which will make him super suspicious to the police.

As for Tom Miller, yeah that's really fucking weird, also he gives off a gay vibe, wouldn't be surprised if that's where they're going with it (he's trying to prove he watches straight porn to his friends etc). I also wouldn't be surprised if he's been seeing his dad on the sly too (not in a sexual way lol).

Season has been good up to now for sure!

Forgot to say - When tom was watching the porn on his phone I totally expected it to be a clip of the rape, glad it wasn't though lol.

[Gallahadd]

Oh shit, really? Yeah... That's dodgy AF, they're REALLY trying to make it seem like it's him which of COURSE means that it's not.

I'm guessing it wont be rape, probably extreme bondage or something, way more common than people think.

Ah shit, I hadn't even thought of that. Now you say it though, it makes a LOT of sense that he's a closet case, and all this posturing is him covering up for that.

Yeah, I thought the same thing, glad they didn't take that route, would have been too much.

[Gallahadd]

GOD DAMN that was an episode and a half... They sure packed a lot in didnt they?

Okay, first things first... I FUCKING CALLED IT! I KNEW it was Jim that Trish had slept with on that morning. Dirty bastard! So that kinda rules him out as the rapist... Unless he wanted round two and she wasn't up for it?

And the mystery text is revealed to be related to neither the rape NOT the Morning Glory, and was actually the ex's new squeeze just messing with her, or possibly recalling a previous unrelated argument.

Speaking of the ex, he continues to get more and more dodgy... He tried to sort out his laptop but was denied, then it NEARLY all came crumbling down, but he was saved at the last moment... But is he free, or is this just a temporary reprieve?

Twine guy continues to be SUPER creepy. I don't think he did it, I just think he's gross.

Then, we have a new contendor... a (wrongly?) convicted rapist, who despite the questions about his conviction remains just a super super creepy dude. I don't think he raped Trish though... However I don't think he's exactly innocent.

Because a second victim has come forward! A second lady was apparently raped a full TWO years before, with a very similar MO to what happened to Trish, but are they as connected as they seem? I'm not so sure.

And for no apparent reason, Chloe Lattimer has decided to become BFF's with Hardy's kid... Sure, that can't go horribly wrong at all.

Speaking of things going wrong for Hardy... He had a fucking DATE?!? That whole scene was very odd, not really sure what the point of it was, which makes me think it's probably VITAL, and I just missed why.

Lastly...

They've found him! Mark Lattimer has tracked down Tom Miller, and is planning to exact revenge... Why do I get the feeling that this isn't going to play out the way he thinks it will? He's going to turn up and Tom will be dead or something, mark my words!

Man this season has been great, SO much better than last season.

[Solidito]

Yeah I also called it with her sleeping with him, i thought the text was from him too but nah guess not.

I'm not sure about the ex's text, seems a bit odd for her to jump in and say it was her after all the dodgy shit he's been doing, maybe she's sticking up for him? Will find out i guess.

Yeah the new rapist guy showing up is odd but he's gna be innocent, he only moved there 10 days ago so i can't imagine he's related to the case from 2 years ago. He is dodgy though, makes me laugh how in tv shows like this etc so many people don't have an ally-by, "yeah i was just taking a stroll from around 1am till 5am no biggy", "I was just fishing at the exact time the rape happened, no biggy".

Chloe making friends with Hardy's kid is odd, and she said she knew "what happened", guess we'll find out what it was soon. Yeah the date was awkward as fuck, i had to keep pausing it lol.

Yeah I'm glad Mark found Joe's address, I want some sort of closure on the whole thing. With Mark having a last meal with his wife/exwife I have a feeling he might be planning something. If he goes through with it is a different matter though, watch him have a wife and kid or something.

Agreed, season is good up to now! Football scene made me laugh where a town of 20k people just had everyone who's a suspect for the rape, even the taxi driver was in there lol and the fishing line maker dude.
