**SPOILERS** Nothing specific but sure will be some in here so don't read if planning on watching.
I've enjoyed this last series, if enjoyed is the right word for it, but feels an awful lot of loose ends to tie up in the last hour of the show.
I assume that RIshi Sunak is going to get uncovered as the murderer, and it will lead them to the Eastern Europeans hustling him and them into Darius to tie those 2 story line sup - but feels like we are going to get 2 weeks worth of action into 1 weeks episode and it might be a bit frantic or not tied up satisfactorily |  |

I still think there was an element were they ran out of time or just cut out too much of that storyline to be necessary, as with the Darius storyline too.
Because, to your final point, why have those stories progress so far with CID involvement if not going to wrap them up more neatly - you were seeing it all from both sides through the rest of the series but then they just wrote it out at the end
EDIT - And Surely the words of a drugged up, drunk person who subsequently sets fire to himself delivered to a copper he has a personal relationship with are not going to be reliable enough to help bring down Darius? They basically have no more evidence than they already had [Post edited 6 Feb 2023 11:13]

I quite liked that it finished at the end of her story with a singed crocheted blanket and not the arrest of a drug overlord. It shows what was really important. |  | | |

To me that just should he was a manipulator when he realised who his nan was at that time rather than a paedo [Post edited 6 Feb 2023 11:03]

There had been other references to his "creepy" interest in other kids in previous episodes. |  |

Well, nothing's going to be perfect for everyone. I liked that we left wanting more, and seeds were sown with the rest being left to our imagination.
You might be interested to hear though that someone on twitter said -
"According to the actor who played Faisal they filmed several versions of the ending. Perhaps one was where he was questioned and charged with the murder but then a decision was made after filming that they were going to do something else?" | |

But I think that comment from twitter is kind of my point - that too much was left on the cutting room floor. If that stuff wasn't going to be resolved, or left like that - then don't have it as an integral part of the series up to that point that seemed to need clearing up | |
