    It does feel like there really isn't enough plot to go round.

    A series too far IMO. Hey ho.

    I suppose anyone who didn't see (or can't remember) the first series is lost. That's always the danger with such a long gap.

    I loved the first series but this isn't in the same league

    Well, I'm enjoying it. Good on the young girl for standing up to him. Could be her downfall, but hope not!!

    The photo fit is remarkably accurate. It stretches credibility slightly that the girl on the train didn't even appear slightly perturbed when she was speaking with Spector.

    Exactly what I was thinking. And it was obviously a picture of the actor cos the eyes were the same, the face was the same!

    And why wouldn't Katie tell the police what she knows/suspects?

    Too many of this sort of examples of no one saying anything to the police that could help them find him, could get a bit tedious!

    50 minutes of mumbling, staring and ringing mobiles. I'll stick with it but its been a long and boring 50 minutes.

    It was always gonna be different to the first episode of the first series. He was just getting going then!

    I had forgotten Archie Panjabi was in this. I was starting to think this was a Fall/Good Wife crossover.

    It has a different pace to other police procedural dramas but that's what sets it apart from the others. This show has always been a slow burner IMO and that works well in terms of creating and sustaining a suitably foreboding atmosphere. It's not a series that uses high speed chases and melodramatic hysterics, opting for muted tones instead.

    She knows him. Could be an ex girlfriend or family?

    Doubt it, as I kid I was really shy I probably would have screamed if I saw him.

    Archie Pinjabi's in the Good Wife. She'll always be Kalinda to me, now! :)
    Wonder when that's coming back!

    Can't understand whose house he's in. They're all green inside..... or is it one house?

    Very gloomy, but I like the pace.

    Bit sneaky of him getting a fishing boat to NI. There will be no record of him being back in Belfast.

    Humffff....not sure if I enjoyed that or not! Why doesn't that stupid young woman who Spector attacked in his own home tell the police what she knows. If this is how this will pan out it is going to be a long haul.

    Indeed. He was doing all the murders in the first series, this is the series they try to get him. Basically!

    Aside from what I mentioned before ... the woman on the train seeing his picture in the paper (there was no 'slight' resemblance, it was obviously him) and Katie obviously suspecting he was the killer ... and neither saying anything to the police ... and the little girl not in the least bothered a strange man is in her house in the middle of the night ... I loved tonight's episode. A slow burner that keeps MY attention anyway.

    A decent opening episode, I thought. Jamie Dornan again displayed that quiet intensity yet and there were some really interesting scenes- the conversation between Stella and Annie being a prime example. Some folk on here are complaining that not enough happened but we have to remember that it can't always been incident-packed. The chess pieces have just been laid and now we're going to wait for the psychological warfare, chills and twists to slowly unfold.

    Presumably the 'not telling anyone' thing - specially in the first episode - is because it IS gonna be a long haul.
    But it is frustrating to watch stuff like that!
