A renowned chess player dies at the table during an important match.
They definitely opted to conclude the series with a low key affair, and this really was low key. It wasn't a bad watch, but for a finale, it was just a bit.... pedestrian.
No denying the presence of Orla Brady, and she did her best to elevate the whole thing, I think the best of this episode were the scenes between her and Selwyn, who's definitely been more present this series, and that's been good. It was nice to learn a little more about the good commissioner's personal life.
There's something just not right about the current setup, and I don't know what it is, Marlon apart, there's just a little bit of sparkle missing, it always came from Camille, Florence, JP and definitely Dwayne, it feels flat somehow.
A few lines resonated about the current situation in The Ukraine regarding Russia, comments about the country's past, and now sadly present.
It's not been the best series, it started off really well, but Florence's moving on has been felt, I think a bit of a shakeup is needed to get it back to where it used to be.
Not bad, but a bit slow, 6/10.
