US law is not relevant in the UK or to this show. Having an issue with a British program for not following US law makes no sense at all.

I've seen plenty of UK programs in which police show up at someone's home to arrest them and state they have a warrant to search the premises. It doesn't add anything to the narrative to include an obligatory line of dialog mentioning a search warrant to every scene. Just like in American shows we don't always see a suspect being read their Miranda rights but we know it happens, or else it would be a plot point about improper arrest or something. Individual constitutional rights and protections are very much "baked in" to British law going back to Magna Carta.

No, not according to Variety. It was the most successful of the shows cancelled. Maybe the show just ran its course or Baldwin decided not to renew his contract. Game shows hosted by working actors don't seem to last very long, possibly due to conflicting commitments.

The writers really hit a new low with this episode. The voice-over narration was annoying and the two main stories about the skip tracer and actress were stupid and juvenile. The more sitcom elements they add to the show, the worse it gets. It appears they are going for a target audience of 12-year boys and adolescent shippers, not adults. Nyla and Wesley each had a brief scene that made a serious point that would have each been a basis for an engaging episode. Instead, whatever social commentary they were trying to make was cheapened by sandwiching the scenes between all the idiocy. This a supposed to be a police procedural. There are plenty of interesting stories to tell without injecting "light moments" into the show.

Yes, it was shown on the screen that he was in Greenwich Village, New York.

No, Ashley did not bring anything on herself. Women are not responsible for the bad behavior of men, men are responsible for their own behavior. This sounds an awful lot like the kind of victim blaming abusive men engage in ("You made me do it!"). While Tim has not been shown to be abusive, he is pretty consistently shown to be a jerk and an asshole both on or off duty. Supposedly, Tim is a very good cop, however, we only see him being a very average cop, not a good one. Tim is an adult. If dinner at a swanky restaurant on the beach was something he was not a interested in he should have politely declined. Once he accepted the invitation he had an obligation to be pleasant and not spoil it for Ashley and the others. Instead, Tim and Lucy were insufferably rude to their dates, carrying on like two self-absorbed teenagers and behaving inappropriately for the venue and company they were in. Ashley and lawyer guy were doing their best to be mature adults and deal with a bad situation gracefully.

It could just be about money. The article states that those John Does all have legal representation who are working to keep their names private so why should Maxwell spend any more money on the matter. I didn't know that Maxwell had settled a lawsuit with Giuffe, i.e., paid her money to drop her suit. I'm not sure what to make of Virginia Giuffre. I'm gonna assume that she wants the names of the John Does revealed so she can file lawsuits and hopefully settle them, too. In general, I don't support the notion of pursuing civil suits for criminal acts. Those cases belong in the criminal justice system where the burden of proof is higher. Regardless of what plaintiffs say about wanting justice or healing or closure, in the end civil suits are about money. In the case of Giuffe, I'm having a hard time seeing how devoting so many years of her life pursuing lawsuits is a healing experience. It does seem that it is all about the money for her.

Forbes estimated the net worth of Britney's estate in 2001 was about $40 million and about $42 million in 2008. Court filings from 2014 put the net worth of her estate at $46 million. It is currently estimated at about $60 million. It would appear the net worth of Britney's estate has increased under her conservatorship. $600 million sounds like it could be a reasonable estimate for lifetime gross earnings from album and concert sales, or it could just be some fantasy number from fan sites. Either way that has nothing to do with the net worth of Britneys' estate.

I recall some years ago a fan attacked Tim McGraw on stage. I believe she grabbed the back pocket of his jeans, wouldn't let go, and he had to fight her off. When Faith Hill took the stage for her set she tore into the fan and the audience applauded.

It was shown that Mrs Herriot was pushy, domineering and in the habit of inappropriately making decisions for James that she had no business making for a grown man. Putting off telling his parents that he did not want the Glasgow job and was making a life for himself in Darrowby until it was a fait accompli and his mother could no longer meddle in his affairs was the right call. James mentioned in an episode that he was sending his parents money, so there was no reason for him to be physically present in Glasgow to support them.

I doubt Bailey is the arsonist/serial killer. Nolan is the guy who repeatedly meets someone he thinks he can settle down with, but eventually gets dumped because she chooses her child or job over him. I think they are setting Bailey up for a heroic death in the line of duty. She's a firefighter and will no doubt rush into a burning building to rescue someone or battle the killer in the conclusion of the serial killer story arc. In other words, Bailey will be the latest love interest who chooses duty over love, leaving Nolan alone once again.

I watched both. Vigil is available on the BBC iplayer. I liked it, the unrealistically spacious submarine interiors notwithstanding. Shaun Evans played a healthy-looking good guy so he must have filmed it before Endeavour, for which he seemed to have lost some weight to achieve that gaunt, unhealthy drunkard look. Episode 3 had an ambiguous ending that could allow for a fourth series, but the episode title of Terminus suggests this might be the end. I would be fine with that. Morse has transformed into the alcoholic incapable of forming relationships that is familiar from the original series, so I don't know where they can go with the character.

Henry also referred to his child as "her" or "she" said in the latest episode, hence Murdoch.'s comment that it was an odd name.

The policy has been working pretty well for years, as far as I can tell. Threads for other non-US shows seem to manage just fine. I don't see that anything has been destroyed. However, this is off-topic for the thread so I'll stop.

As I understand the Primetimer policy, once an episode has aired people are free to discuss it openly in the appropriate thread. At that point it is not a spoiler since the content is available to the public. One way to avoid exposure to episode details is to refrain from reading this thread until the show airs in your market. I have seen the first two episodes of this series and intend to post here next week after the third episode airs.
