Seriously disappointing << spoilers >>

Warning: Spoilers
Really -- there are too many things wrong with this to make a list, I watched it all cos it was atmospheric and spooky, and I liked the general tenor of it .. but my wife packed in after two episodes and I kept thinking it could only get better .. in fact it got worse! The plot was full of holes and none of the links between the people and the money were ever really explained. The thing about the suicide on a certain date years after the Daniel committed suicide was probably the most ludicrous, in a long list of craziness ... never explained. Presumably that was not really sent by him. The 5 year time gap? What was that for? Daniel screaming at the painting? Really, what was that about? Who WAS tipping off the press to be there taking photos of Peter every time he witnesses a suicide? Never satisfactorily explained. The swinging loyalties of the pregnant journalist was that just cos of her hormones? To say nothing of the other mysteries of how the media were presented in this drama. The moody vicar /dad and the church angle? Was that serving any point at ALL? The real baddie behind it all was a lowly criminal finance investigator? How did she get into a position to do that? Never satisfactorily explained. Did she employ Vibeker just to drive her crazy with stalking and mis-direction?

Sitting on her paradise island at the end you'd have thought she'd have a happy face on her, having apparently got away with all the loot, but her face was as miserable as mine! We both felt robbed, somehow, eh!
