I can’t get past the Bob character. Same when I watched him in happy valley I just saw the sleaze guy sleeping with his babysittersthank you! I just think of that actor in Rita, Sue and Bob Too which take away from the crime boss aura somewhat.

I understand all that but..... It is a drama! It is not a documentary! Some of it might be based on true events but it's still fiction! That's why people are disappointed. We didn't get the drama in season finale of a drama show!On reflection, I like the ending.I didn’t at first, but it made me think about why I was disappointed and that can be a good thing. It didn’t deliver the ending I desired- I think he’s being a bit brave/stupid in emphasising that we can’t expect a ‘TV‘ ending if we want the reality of this topic.
I think the point he’s trying to make is that institutionalised corruption is just that- institutionalised! It thrives on low-level deliberate incompetence and greed, often from people who don‘t even know, and don’t care, who the order is coming from. There is a worrying lack of interest from politicians to place the spotlight on police corruption when required- it ain’t a vote winner and how sad that this is what drives them.
It’s almost impossible to pin down an individual, and even if you do, there simply isn’t some top-level Dr.Evil- it’s not that intentional. It’s a hodpodge mix of loads of different street-level crime networks that have links to the police and other organisations, who sometimes work together over a long period for a range of different objectives that often shift over time, but sometimes work on random projects that are ‘one-off’ based on personal vendettas. Too complex to ever pin on an individual? Intentionally so?
You’re meant to be disappointed, the typed out commentary at the end is akin to a documentary- the point is that this is alive and well, and yet still there is no desire to genuinely address it! I like that he’s invoking us to be angry about it! It’s a bloody joke.

Ahem...Omg you’ve inspired me to change my pic
God I feel like a copy cat, brbAhem...
they are all caddiesSo is Buckles H or a caddy? Are the 4 H’s all caddies? So they haven’t caught the top dog yet they’ve just caught the fourth man/caddy? And the one behind all of this is the ginger/grey welsh bloke that hates Steve, right? Is that what’s going on?
Ah ok. When did they say H stood for hillside?they are all caddies
h has been caught - stood for hillside
there is no top guy - after Tommy Hunter was killed OCG operated independent siloes. Buckells was the fourth caddy but now he is caught likely someone will take his place
I need to rewatch maybe I made it up that’s what I think H stands for. They always new something was going to happen at hillside as that is where jo Davison was postedAh ok. When did they say H stood for hillside?
I saw that on here but it would make sense. Don’t think they ever confirmed it but it seems obviousI need to rewatch maybe I made it up that’s what I think H stands for. They always new something was going to happen at hillside as that is where jo Davison was posted
I really hope there is a series 7. So much unanswered!View attachment 557934
Did anyone else notice one of the top comments on Martin Compston's IG post? He's Martins tailor apparently and I think he kits our WWW in the famous waistcoats on the show. Seems to suggest a series 7
I agree! And the Lies cost Lives strapline surely nods toward the gov’t handing of COVID etc.I remain firmly convinced Buckells is Boris
