...but was still left open to interpretation, on whether Prof. Lezars' tactic worked on Jerry. Personally, I thought it *had* worked, by his reaction. But argument could certainly made for the opposition.
I rated this the same 5/10, even though I was more satisfied with how it ended. Reason being that I was far more invested emotionally with the core characters in "A Question of Involvement". I really felt for the couple and the Drs. And definitely loathed all of the villagers; police included. Though I enjoyed this episode, and I really like the Professor, it was hard to care about a rich, undisciplined, woman-beating drug addict. Oh, poor me; I'm going to Cambridge...
I kind of feel perhaps The Hidden Truth may have been going for that gritty, unapologetic and wholly unsatisfying ending that was becoming extremely popular in Hollywood films, similar to Sam Pekinpah or Arthur Manns' work. Bit I'm basing that off two episodes of weird endings. (I don't know anything about British cinema or telly, but watching TPTV has been a pleasure, since TCM here is dreadful). Anyway, I kind of understand what they were trying to do, if indeed this is what it was...life is imperfect, messy and often extremely unfair. I just prefer it when everyone gets what they deserve. Good or bad. Injustices are nearly intolerable for me.
Now, to watch the last one. 😆
