You know, I watched the first 5 episodes in one goup to 3amthen I decided to watch the last episode the next day
And I have to agree: It all seemed a bit of a flat ending in some respects..but not all.
But I rather think the footballing boys were not responsible for the grafitti on the garage door or the brick through the windowI rather suspect it was that piece of dross that was trying to ccorrupt Curtis & get him to reject whites/educationthe TRUE Racist!
As for Bernard Hill's character: The "Priest"Mmmm In some ways, he seemed to get off "scot-free" but did he? He was obviously torn between his calling & his duty as a father to three girls.But I did not get the money theft bit..seemed an awful lot of appeasement going on to Jo-Jo financially. That seemed a step too far for me.
As for Clair Slater: That is the crux of the enigma presented: Did she kill them, or was she simply a convenient scapegoat for Eric? That she'd
seen
things is clear: Is that what triggered her mental illness? Or was her illness the cause of her killing the two men?.The fact that we will "never know" is the beauty of the screenplay I think.
After all, real life is often like that: We will never know the
whole
truth. We often have to rely on those in a position of trust to at least punish the guilty and not the innocentit happens as we know: But only the quality of our society can minimise such cases. Otherwise: We are simply doomed as a people.
But overall, a brilliant piece of Television: Well done to all concerned.
