Excellent opening episode - I'm glad this is back. Poor Cassie, and poor Tosh - who looks quite damaged and fragile, as you'd expect after her ordeal in the last series. Good acting from Alison O'Donnell I thought.
I'm pretty certain it's a single 6-part story - earlier articles I've read all said so - though no doubt there'll be different threads within it to give us some red herrings.

Good that it's back, presently I've no wish to watch the various dramas on offer or even record them, must be just me ! However I'm glad Tosh will continue and wonder what or perhaps who she was thinking about as she gazed in the mirror  I also thought Cassie was another actress,so thanks for that info. |

I think she was looking at herself and sort of mentally bracing herself and deciding to get back to how she used to be and not let those @##@#@#@ beat her.

In case anyone missed it, Shetland has been moved to Wednesday next week, same time. Let me guess, fitba ...
Glad to see Thomas survived being buried alive, though he's not really helping himself is he?

Yes, I had missed it.
Good guess, it's an FA Cup 5th round replay, Swansea City v Sheffield Wednesday. I expected at least some major international fixture. I have to question what the interest level in this is, outside those two cities, and whether the Beeb have got their priorities right.

Nope, he's going to be right back inside following the attack last night.

Yes, his behaviour this week is hardly likely to endear him either to the community or to the police, however provoked he was. I wonder if it will turn out that he actually did commit the original murder? What's happened so far is that his original conviction was found to be unsafe. He hasn't actually been cleared. Will there then be a retrial? Presumably not or he would still be in custody.
We seem to be moving towards a corporate crime regarding the murder of Sally, but it's not clear to me yet how the two murders are linked, unless the point is that they are not.

I don't think he can be retrialed unless there is new evidence in the original murder that points to him. It's one of the safeguards in law. Otherwise you could keep sending someone to trial until you find a jury that will convict.

Just been checking the first episode. I was mistaken – he was acquitted because of new evidence that was not presented at the original trial (which is why we think McColl, who was the SIO in the original investigation, is dodgy). So it wasn't an unsafe conviction, it was a mistrial and that's why Malone is free. The earlier murder will therefore be reinvestigated and I suppose Jimmy will solve both murders.

I don't know that he is guilty but I think he knows more about the original murder than he is saying and I think the sister of the murdered girl (the one who is being friendly to him) also knows that there was more going on, at least I hope so, but Shetland does that to us doesn't it. . I think the deaf woman knows more about her housemates killer.

I keep switching between thinking that the Norwegian connection is/isn't a red herring, and that Sally's and Lizzie's murders are/aren't connected. The discovery that Alan's biological father is not who he and everyone else thought is a very interesting development - I look forward to finding out who that is (but I don't think it will be revealed in the next episode).

Good point. Donna Killick and McColl seem close – perhaps we are meant to think he might be Alan's biological father. But that would only work if neither of them knew, or they would have discouraged any relationship between Alan and Sally. Not Malone, surely? I can't think of anyone else we've met who would be the right age.
It's a bit tricky working out who would have been around when the original murder took place, over 23 years before as Malone was originally convicted in 1994. Do we know who is the father of Molly Kilmuir, Kate's daughter, and where he is now?
