No doubt loads of top firms in the city either have no cleaners or will ditch their current contracts to snap up a team of three who ring up to offer their services.

Well, she didn't do it totally on her own wits. If it wasn't for Jess's idea to use that listening phone, if it wasn't for Jess generously taking her in, if it wasn't for Jess selling her van ....... Sam wouldn't have had the money to invest. AND she walked off with £14k of it to pay off her OWN debts which had nothing to do with her generous friend. And she still owes Glyn £1500 but you would think from the way she was acting she was absolutely clear of debt.
If they're setting up a cleaning company - how will they transport all their equipment now that the van's gone? What references have they? It's stretching belief that city companies of a sensitive nature will take them on without them and she won't get one from her previous employment.
Also, at the trader's interview with the FCA - the hesitation when asked if there was anything else. So she's not out of the woods yet.
Which means it's all set up for another series.
There were two good scenes - Mina telling Victor what to do with his job and Jess kicking her feckless boyfriend out of her flat.

All very conveniently tied up at the end. and does look like it's set up for a second series.
But if there is a series 2, what would it be like, since the supposed central theme of her gambling addiction wrecking her marriage, losing her the flat and custody of her kids, and putting a loan shark constantly on her back seems to have evaporated. Would we just be left with the three girls' adventures in trading, threatened by the corrupt but blackmailable compliance woman?

By 10 mins before the end, I had assumed there were more than 6 episodes. What an annoying production.
Why didn’t they show the baddies being arrested?
I wonder if they did write/film it and it ended up on the cutting room floor? If I were a decent actor like Con O’Neill or Lloyd Owen, I’d be miffed.
The scene between Rosie Cavalieri and the ‘boss’ woman at the end was ambiguous. Is she really a compliance officer at one company, or is she actually a rather incompetent FCA undercover operative, who, as she implies, got lucky? What means the talk of being “reassigned” and taking a period of leave? I’ve forgotten the first episode and I can’t be bothered to watch it again to check on the ‘home’ company.
The “domestic” plot was implausible and naive from start to finish. Support groups are always on the lookout for fake members, loansharks rarely let people get away with settling up and.....
........why hasn’t her private house owner she was cleaning for demanded her coat back?
Anyway, I was disappointed that what I’d hoped would be an upbeat story about a cleaner making a few quid by picking up some information at work, turned out to be a tacky tale that tried to drag too many plots and settings into the frame. Does the BBC force all dramatists to shoehorn Victorian morality themes and kitchen sink mush Into every drama? Plenty of folk do actually get away with appalling acts of dishonesty and being unable to dramatise it is treating the viewers as children.
I don’t want to see any more of her home life, if there’s a new series, but I wouldn’t mind a series specifically about the FCA. That would have legs, as long as they kept soapy threads at a big, big distance.

Don't know about the BBC ,but as this was on ITV, bit immaterial.
Watched some last night and the rest this morning, but wasn't really concentrating so kept looking up from doing other things,so not an attention grabber.
Most of it was just silly,had been from the beginning ,can't really see it coming back,story is done and dusted.
(As a btw,some tatoos are good ,but the whole arm looks tacky.My opinion.)
