Aye finished it the other night. Preposterous stuff (as are the books) but entertaining enough.

Was waiting on a post on this, are they based on the books? Have read most of them

Aye this one based on The Devils Star. I read them years ago buy remembered precisely nothing. It's worth a spin if you're looking for a new series.

which is the 5th novel in the series which leaves it open to sequels & prequels. A tad far-fetched but enjoyable nonetheless.

also I thought the movie The Snowman with Michael Fassbender playing Hole was crap

Yeah, thought Fassbender was the perfect match for Hole though, but it lacked something, the book was better

Should I Marry A Murderer was a good watch on Netflix.

I was unfamiliar with the story: two Scottish brothers ran over a cyclist on a charity run, left him to die in their barn and buried him on the Highlands estate they worked on; then one of them meets and quickly gets engaged to a Glasgow doctor, tells her about it, and she's left with the psychological dilemma of whether to turn them in and give the cyclists family closure, and the aftermath of her decision and actions.

Does not paint a nice picture of the callousness of the police and justice system towards traumatized witnesses.
