First season was quite a good surprise even if not revolutionnary.
Really interesting to be able to continue the story and see how it goes crossing it with the previous investigation of the main character.
BUT this episode is insulting. People acts illogically, emotionnaly and without coherence. Ellie is a major collateral victim of the crime commited. She lost her husband, murderer of a child. She suffers from not being able to see that. Her life is as broken as Beth's. And Beth acts completely without empathy..
There is a video confession of a murder, timestamped before Ellie kicked him in front of 3 other officers and this is dismissed at trial ?? Come on ! And Beth blames Ellie again for that ? Whereas she acted completely normally for someome who discovers her husband killed a 11 year boy..
And finally the so called worst detective of England has been hiding a key witness undercover for 7 months, and of course everything went wrong and the witness dissapears, by organising a meeting in the worst place on earth where - or course - Beth is coming to confront Ellie again..
Everything is wrong in this episode. It's as the writers searched how to make the story go but lacked ingredients to do so and choose the least good ones..
And i dont even mention Mark spending time with the boy of the murderer of his son. Seriously !
