OH is into Vigil and LOD too so we're fond fans of the Shrine Pod - didn't realise they were covering it, we love the Pod!I was kind of reading it as the enemy sub knows there's a UK sub in the area, but maybe can't pin it down exactly. But if they go to the surface they will be traceable so that's why they are trying to avoid doing it. May have totally missed the mark though.
Really enjoyed listening to ShrinePod's recap of the two episodes.
Yes!!! On Shrine of Duty they seemed surprised by people texting in like "this is not realistic" but it really is so transparently poorly researched! The first thing my BF pointed out was there wouldn't only be 1 hatch on the sub, there would be 2 in case the first one failed!I am finding this drama quite ridiculous. The usual big names on a bbc drama - but the better acting actually comes from the faces I don’t recognise.
There is some really hammy acting going on. I preferred Suranne Jones when she played gritty northern characters, rather than the irritating / overacting Dr Foster type character.
The bloke from Dr Foster (don’t know the actors name) is wooden, but the HR bloke is the most wooden of them all. The delivery of his lines seem so abrupt and a bit odd.
I had a laugh at some of the scenes. The CPR scene was half hearted, and then we have Silva (Suranne Jones) with her magic bag of tricks - performing autopsies (I had three years medical training) along with sprays to detect blood / heroin etc. I’m surprised that she had room for her hair straighteners and make up etc in the little bag.
Then we have Silva shouting murder investigation at every opportunity and demanding to interview witnesses at the most inappropriate moments! It’s all so odd but quite funny.
I don’t know if the lesbian storyline will have any relevance to the plot. I know BBC dramas now make sure they have at least one lesbian couple featured, to tick their diversity boxes. I just wish the relationships in their dramas had some interesting turns or relevance to them.
The lesbian/bisexual storyline will be significant as Amy Silva reflects on parts of her life and (apparently) realises she does love Kirsten. Suranne Jones said she did research about women who were confused about their sexuality.I am finding this drama quite ridiculous.

The news I want about Martin Compston is when we're going to see him chasing bent coppers again!Did you guys see Martin Compstons next show is another one set at seait’s called The Rig for Amazon prime. Sounds quite good though
aw yeah same. Weird that they’ve not announced any updates on line of duty. Surely they know by now it they’re doing any more or notThe news I want about Martin Compston is when we're going to see him chasing bent coppers again!
To be honest I really don't care about her love life or how long she has been attracted to her colleague. It has nothing to do with the main story, or with the tragedy which led to her phobia about being trapped underwater.The lesbian/bisexual storyline will be significant as Amy Silva reflects on parts of her life and (apparently) realises she does love Kirsten.

True but I don’t think the intention is to overshadow the main storyline with her love life it’s more of a sub-plot that links to her past and to make her a rounded character.To be honest I really don't care about her love life or how long she has been attracted to her colleague.

I am hoping that by episode three, Silva’s character does become a bit more rounded. I am finding detective Silva hard to relate to on any level at the moment. I don’t know if it’s because I see her as Dr Foster now playing a detective (who seems to be an expert on everything) or if it’s the drama in general.True but I don’t think the intention is to overshadow the main storyline with her love life it’s more of a sub-plot that links to her past and to make her a rounded character.
Like most police dramas it contains two cliché plot devices: (1) a detective with a traumatic past and (2) glaringly obvious meaningful or shifty looks.
What I find an overly convenient plot device is DCI Amy Silva having moderate MH issues but only bringing 3 days meds.I am hoping that by episode three, Silva’s character does become a bit more rounded.

She needs to stop running around a submarine trying to arrest people anyway
According to previews, she goes on to the sub. for three days but it becomes three weeks. She'll be a basket case by the time she gets back on dry land!What I find an overly convenient plot device is DCI Amy Silva having moderate MH issues but only bringing 3 days meds.
I thought was the same show as thisDid you guys see Martin Compstons next show is another one set at seait’s called The Rig for Amazon prime. Sounds quite good though
Send him on tea making duties! We don't need that much realism!I’m going to have to watch this alone. My partner works on the subs and he’s talked through every episode about how it’s a load of shit and they are much smaller and going on about working on different parts of the sub
