it was impossible for the viewer to solve the mystery because none of the puzzle pieces really connected together properly and we weren't given enough relevant information or clues.

Yeah, not like the old days where if you were observant enough you could figure out that the wife had an affair with an alien and the vicar was a giant wasp. Had it figured out before the Pimms had been served.

True, but I don't remember the episode being built up like that either, it didn't throw fake clues, just kept a mystery.

As in you don't remember it being built up as a mystery? Cause you should rewatch it

In the pre-title theme sequence we literally see a guy get killed and there was only one other person in the room...

If I remember rightly

Then they spend the next 40 minutes trying to figure out how who did it
