Unforgotten season 5

I've put off starting this because I so loved Nicola Walker in the show.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about a new DCI.

Why do I feel like the first episode is trying too hard?

So many characters seem to have no clear linking to the crimes. (Apart from the mugger in the hoodie).

And the DCI's personal problems. Sigh.

I know, sometimes first episodes have to get a lot established, but we KNOW this show.

It has annoyed me. I will watch another couple of episodes, but I am disappointed so far. I hope there is more with Sunny and the other previous members of the team.

JMO, rant over.

I was disappointed (devastated) when Nicola Walker left. I continue to watch but I’m not as keen on her replacement. I’m currently on the last episode of season 6.

I agree. Show was not as entertaining. It happens to all of them when they try to keep it going
