The first episode hooked me in even though I am not a fan of "woman held captive" stories. It was nice seeing so many familiar faces (Kate Dickie, Jamie Sives, Mark Bonnar). Did not expect the twist at the end. The lead DCI reminds me of Dr. House and similar curmudgeons. Had issues accessing Episode 2 on Netflix which will hopefully resolve.

Agree about The One That Got Away. Nice twist at the end but not great overall. I thought the ending was left open for a second series but not sure it deserved one. It reminded me a bit of A Remarkable Way to Die - which I thought was better. Thanks for the reminder about Dept. Q. The write up looked good to me and I wanted to check it out.

I am watching The One That Got Away on Acorn. Set in small-town Wales, it stars Elen Rhys (Mallorca Files) and Richard Harrington (lots of British shows). Murder mystery where a new case echoes a serial killer from the past. I just finished Episode 2 of 6 - not great but not terrible either.

I liked the wrap-up scene in the restaurant with the tidbits about each agent's personal life. Still annoyed that the show was canceled. Even though some of the storylines could be too Criminal Minds for me, I still liked the cast (except Remy). Still miss Jess.

I did not love the most recent episode - the one where the teacher was killed during the school retreat. This is the second episode where they have had characters return who were originally in earlier episodes. I tend to forget the earlier plots quickly so it is hard for me to then place these characters. I'd prefer if they limit recurring characters to the usual ones - Frodo, Dr. Plummer, etc.... I also did not love the story line.

Watched the first few episodes of Bletchley Circle San Francisco and liked it. Rachel Sterling is awesome; I have not seen her in anything else. Julie Graham has starred in many of my favorite shows. I have not seen either of the two American actresses before or since this show.

I noticed that Gina was very toned down in her pursuit of Mike in this episode. Trying to recall the backstory for Lena, the bartender. She mentioned "Chad" and I seem to remember his name but do not recall their story.

Thought they deliberately spotlighted Sheryll in a more leadership position than previously. Likely foreshadowing her replacing Remy should he retire. Budget cuts to the end: no Nina. I thought the fake ICE storyline was particularly relevant but agree with the above poster that there were too many plot holes.

Haven't watched GH in many years but loved seeing the actress who played Monica spotlighted in the credits because she just passed away. Have to believe that this was intentional. I was tired of the Raphael storyline but the actor did a great job.

I loved Ludwig.

I also think they toned down Frodo a bit in this season. They gave some of his ridiculousness to Dr. Plummer. I miss the Mayor/Pharmacist. Agree about Dennis Buchanan; the female attorney with the short blonde hair seems to be the attorney du jour. Love Trudy.

I loved Jocelyn and her boyfriend buying hats for the entire crowd of people in order to confuse the FBI. Smart move.

I just saw this. What a dumb move. Terrific show with an excellent cast.

I think that this season of The Chelsea Detective was better than the prior one. I liked seeing the emphasis on Ashley and her family. I really miss the old sidekick, who added a lot to the show. Agree that the new sidekick was better in this season than in the past ones.

Just watched the latest episode to air in the US (Vaughn gets elected as Mayor) and cracked up at him wearing a sling after the "attempted assassination attempt which never occurred". Clearly a Canadian production. :) Pleased to see so many cast members appearing in this episode; many of the recent episodes only featured a few at a time so I was playing "who won't be in tonight's episode" quite often. Effie, in particular, seems to be shoehorned into episodes likely to compensate for the absence of Julia.
