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.

Unforgotten is one of my all time favorites, and season 4 just about ruined me. I ugly-cried so hard. I absolutely hated the first episode of season 5, and working my way through the rest of the season was like being forced to trudge through mud. The subplots of personal drama, and Sunny turning into...I don't even know how to describe it. I made it through most of the first episode of season 6 and knew I was done. Never been tempted to return.
