agrees lame cop out ending that made no sense -he wouldnt have jumped if he had no empathy -he woulda felt no guilt so 0 chance of feeling guilty

Hella meh ending, smh. Broadchurch, the Killing, Safe, The Stranger, Retribution, & Collateral all had way better endings than this hot mess.

I really didn’t even suspect the son until half way through this episode, but even then a lot doesn’t add up if he was the killer. How come he left no bloody footprints? How come he has no dna at the scene? How did he avoid getting on camera going to and from the scene, even his father, who is quite familiar with the location couldn’t avoid the cameras, so how did the son? Does the son hide the hammer every time he needs to use the violin case? Why wouldn’t the son just get rid of the hammer? Does the husband know it was the son and came up with the story of leaving? Did the husband flee in order to protect his son and make himself the primary suspect? lots of questions need answers here.

Let me get this straight Jack has Kim working at CTU to keep her safe, the same place her mother was executed by a double agent. The same place agency that has had multiple double agents nearly every season. smh, c’mon Jack that place is a death trap.

I can see the logic behind your reasoning. Especially since the blonde seemed to be a little too wise to hubby’s behavior. And dad sure has the means to get the job done but if his motive was to get rid of son-in-law, surely there would have been a simpler, less lethal way available to a man of his means.
The bludgeoning points to a crime of passion so hubby was right in opining that jealousy played a role here.
But I’m still seeing red herrings…money’s still on wifey with daddy beginning to wonder if it was her. He’ll definitely do anything to protect her…even sending an innocent man to the gallows!

My prime suspects are the wife’s father and the wife’s blonde friend. The Father has definitely shown a darker side this episode and a propensity for deceit. The Blonde friend seems to be getting far more screen time than is justified for the role she is playing in this story. Perhaps the blonde friend had been hooking up with the husband as well until the murder victim came along. Or the murder victim could have wronged her in some other way. She just seems too innocent in this story and is getting unjustified screen time, it would definitely be the chance to defy expectations by the writers.

Hmmm I don’t think her husband did it. Either she did or her Father is the way I am thinking now. Anyone else have an opinion?

Disappointed in the ending. The basic plot point that has become a trope of the series of them breaking up and getting back together endlessly basically just continues. Really no growth for the characters nor the story. I haven’t read the book so it may end in a similar fashion, but i would have just as many issues with that ending. It would have been far more interesting to see how they dealt with living in NY together and perhaps dealing with having a child or Marianne starting her career and Connell starting his MFA program. Marianne choosing to stay in Ireland for no real explicable reason and encouraging her co-dependant boyfriend to move to a new country alone is absurd. The story needs to evolve past the crutch of this on again, off again relationship.
