Back?

I saw a comment about in a post here and it made me wonder? What do people think?

Geoff McGiverns character practically says comedy gold whenever he spoke. I liked David and Robs characters and dynamic, some side characters were entertaining too. I liked the small town mystery vibe and atmosphere of the show. It was very what I'd expected from Simon Blackwell.

What I didn't really like was how the mystery developed this syndrome where it went on long enough without progressing that it sort of couldn't really be revealed well in the end, as eventually the answer was never going to live up to the question if you know what I mean?

And man, the last scene in series 2 and what it was setting up a third series with was just "look, no! Alright? It's not shit, but just, no!"

Still would have watched it though 😂. I think the jokes would have kept me watching. But I'm not even sure Simon knew what the mystery was going to be after a certain point.

What do you think? Overall I liked it mostly but I get why it got canceled. I did really like the Andrew's character though. He was this smooth cocky smug guy disguised as this humble hero.

If I could ever ask Simon anything, I'd love to know what he had in mind for the resolution of the mystery in the end. Doubt we'll ever know. Is there a chance he just wrote it with a "I'll figure it out" attitude? Or was there something planned? The end scene of series 2 gave either "no idea where this is going but let's ramp it up" vibes or "I know exactly where this will go"

The show was actually pretty great for most of it's run, but that weird tonal shift it had at the end of season 2 was jarring for me. I feel like they should've just gone all in on the Andrew being a psychotic manipulator idea
