Glad that I read this thread before watching this episode. As someone involved in a fatal car crash last year (for which I spent 7 months in hospital, skilled nursing facility and to this day walk with a cane), I was prepared for that final scene but it was still tough to watch. Eddie was a bit of lightness among all the bad going on.

The assassin wasn't laying in the bathtub when David went into the bathroom - he was bending over the bathtub (to turn on the water - remember he said something about drawing him a nice warm bath) when David shot him and therefore he fell into the tub.

Marcus does die in the book and Coe did kill Patrice. That was something I definitely remembered from the book. I liked Marcus and am sorry to see him go. I liked the last scene with RIver and Lamb at the bar. Liked the season but I think they left a lot of loose ends which I think differs from previous seasons which seemed to have one story line that was wrapped up. I need to watch the episode again because I don't think it was clear why they had to let Harkness go or what was actually in the letters (maybe I just missed it because I was in hurry to get to an appointment so wasn't paying strict attention to the show) and I don't remember from the book.

It was rather stupid for RIver not to wait a bit longer before coming out of hiding in the attic. I've read the book this season is based on and know the overarching story of the of Les Arbes but it's funny how much I can't remember. I didn't remember at all about the Les Arbes guy meeting with the Arabs and I don't rember what happens with David Cartwright. I've read 3 of the books but find I like the show better than the books.

I was surprised to see they did a second season of Ridley but I find it watchable but never on my must see list. I think I might like it better than Anika because I just hate the way see talks to the camera. It's hard to figure out which shows get another season. I liked Murder in Provence but so far no word on a second season and i think that show was probably 2 years ago. I really liked Darby and Joan and finally after 2-3 years it was announced they're doing a seond season.

So glad to have this show back. The episodes of these shows go so fast I'm always stunned when the credits pop up. This season is the first one where I've read the book - while I remember the overarching story line I had to think a bit about some things like who is the new first desk guy (fallout from the ending of last season). I do hope this show wins some emmys this year - it certainly deserves to do so.

London episode - Texas couple moving for their jobs (although I thought he originally said only she had a job but later they said both were working in the Carnary Wharf area). Had a woman agent I haven't seen before - but then the HHI schedule has been so confusing so I might have missed her previous episode(s). THis is the first time I thought all three choices were bad. Can't believe for $4000 a month there wasn't something better. Option 1 was realistically the only choice for them. As a dog owner I wouldn't want to be 4 flights up - dogs don't always go on a set schedule or maybe get an upset stomach and who wants to go down 4 flights of stairs in the middle of the night. Plus I wasn't sure how healthy that dog was. With a dog you really need outdoor access although that outdoor area of Option 1 wasn't good for much more than a dog run. And who names a dog Goose?????

Just finished reading Ruth Ware's One Perfect Couple. This was the first book of her's that I found a page-turner. Her books are hit or miss with me with several I didn't even finish. I find usually her lead character(s) are not likeable or interesting.

Read that they started filming season 5 in late February so would probably be finished by now. No word about season 5. The upcoming season 4 is the first one for which I've read the book so it will be interesting to see how closely they follow the book. I've also read the book for season 5. I enjoy the tv show more than the books.

Well that's certainly a surprise! Although I really liked it I can't believe it was such a hit - maybe it appealed alot to French and Japanese audiences. Look forward to Season 2.

I've seen it and enjoyed it. It's typical PBS mystery type show.

I haven't watched MHZ since it stopped being a free channel - so that's been years. I loved that it had International Mysteries every week night at nine. I remember watching Beck (and I liked it) but don't remember it being particularly violent. The one that I remember as violent was Johan Falk. My favorite show on MHZ was Blood of the Vine. It takes place at various vineyards around France so beautiful scenery and I don't recall it being at all violent.

Finished the first two episodes - surprised they went rather fast since I wasn't really that engrossed in the story. It is interesting enough to want to know what's the truth so I'll probably keep watching. There is something about Imogen I don't like but can't put my finger on what it is.

Another great episode. Love that the writers threw in quite a bit of humor in the midst of a tense situation. I think that's why I can overlook the obvious or claring "what the heck?" moments like why was the safecracker acting like the bartender instead of working on the safe or how did the waitress know so quickly that 1 guest was missing. Will did look good in his white dinner jacket. Didn't like Faith's outfit. I don't usually pay attention to Betty's clothes but I did chuckle seeing her in her pjs in the last scene.

I can't get into Elsbeth and only watched the first episode. I hate when you know who committed the murder and it's just a matter of the detective figuring it out. Plus Elsbeth really got on my nerves - she's beyond quirky.
