Third Series of The Syndicate

ilovewallander · 15/04/14 - 19:39

I've just read that Kay Mellor is writing six new episodes of The Syndicate, due to air next year. It will focus on a syndicate of workers at a stately home.

I enjoyed series one and thought series two wasn't as good, but still worth watching. I don't think the standard of writing was as good in the second series however.

What do others think about a new series?

I quite like Kay Mellors work. The second series wasn't as strong but think there should be room for a third lottery winners story. She seems to attract a strong cast (not just Gaynor Faye) :cool:

I wonder who'll be in the cast.....

I do like most of Kay Mellor's work, but she hasn't topped Band of Gold imo. That was totally brilliant and deserves a repeat. I think the last time it was repeated was between five to ten years ago and in the early hours so it was easy to miss. Drama channel could pick it up.

I must be in the minority that thought the 2nd series was better, I found it more believable

Loved both series so far, couldn't say one was better than the other.

Excited for S3!

Let's hope it tanks as there cannot be anymore stories to be had from the concept, the American version by the way was yanked from the schedule after two episodes.

We all know what the American TV market is like.

Pleased to hear there will be series 3 , enjoyed the previous 2 . But I agree it maybe difficult to come up with new story lines related to winning the lottery .

I thought it was cancelled.

I liked series 1, but I didn't like the fact it ended on a cliff hanger and then we never got to see what happened next, I would have preferred if series 2 continued from where series 1 left off.

Oooh good!!
We've just finished watching both series having missed them first time round. Series one was by far the best, however we did enjoy series two but it lacked credibility especially the cellar scenes and the drug taking in the hospital, not so believable. I was really pleased for Siobhan Finneran's character at the end of series 2.
Looking forward to another series, hope its a little more realistic and grounded.

I love Kay Mellor's work, 'band of gold' and 'the chase' being two firm favourites!!:D

we also felt there was something missing from the last episode of series 1..it would have been nice to have a little more continuity and though i do like kay's writing, i also felt she 'rushed' the ending in series 1 and in her series 'the chase' it would have been nice to have another episode to round things off, but maybe it is her style to leave you 'wanting' at the end!:D

Good news. I enjoyed both equally.

Ooh, good news! Series 2 was a bit outlandish but still entertaining. Can't wait to hear what cast and characters will feature this time round.

Hey there!
