I thought the first part had shone a bright light in the rather murky ninth series, but the second instalment is better again, a truly brilliant conclusion. I'm reviewing this thirteen years after its first transmission, and in that time it has not lost any of its brilliance. There was a predictability and a formula that haunted the previous episodes in this series, not a bit of that here, the misdirection was superb, I had previously heaped praise on Rory Kinnear's performance, Leo Bill goes beyond that and then some, I thought he was incredible.
This episode feels like the kind of production made years later, suspenseful, powerful, hard hitting drama. Quality writing, great production values also. Burton had dominated the role, now it very much feels like the trio of Harry, Nikki and Leo are on an even footing, that dynamic in itself is so interesting.
Quite brilliant. 10/10
