I mostly enjoyed this mini-series, but for anyone actually paying attention to all the mysteries, the ending is incoherent at multiple levels. Here are some of the problems:
Why did Bill give Lee an envelope with nothing but his rural postal code written on it?
Having discovered that the envelope had Bill's fingerprints, why did the police believe that it proved Bill's guilt? Wouldn't they make the far more reasonable assumption that it was one of the many things Lee grabbed from Grace's flat during the home invasion? Surely, many of her things had her father's fingerprints. Why didn't Bill make this point when they came to arrest him?
If Bill paid Lee 1,500 GBP upfront for the hit, why was Lee so broke that he couldn't afford a train ticket?
If Juliet had followed through on her threat to upload child-porn onto Jay's laptop, all the files would have had a date and time stamp proving they had been uploaded while he was in lock-up, and while his laptop was in the evidence locker, giving him an alibi, and implicating her in planting the evidence. They are both smart people. Why did neither of them think of this?
After threatening to upload the child-porn to his laptop if Jay informed on her, Juliet then came very close to doing so, even though he had not yet informed on her. Why would she throw away her one bargaining chip?
