Oh dear! I'd been hoping that the third and final episode would explain more convincingly the reasons for the trio's behaviour towards Thomas, but the finale left me feeling let down.
Several other commentators have noted the implausibility of Thomas being tricked into arriving an hour early at the restaurant and of his car being towed away late in the evening after just a few minutes of his parking it. (Had this been a further trick by his tormentors, it would have been more convincing.) And surely others in the office would have noticed the dozens of Post-Its on his desk and who had placed them there?
Then, right at the end, a policewoman arrives at Isobel's door within a couple of hours of receiving Thomas's evidence of her racial abuse. In this day and age, that's a remarkable response time. (Oh, OK, everything had to be tidied up quickly because it was the last episode.)
Top marks, though, to Ken Swosu for his acting, with his brief flickers of emotion: disbelief, hope, angst, suspicion, doubt, and to the little girl who played his deaf daughter.
There's speculation there might be a second series, but I suspect that I'm not the only one here on IMDB to say "no thanks".
