Yes, nice to see common sense prevailing, though not very likely in real life. It was certainly a feel-good ending with all the conspirators' partners supporting them. I suspect it would not end well for Tessa whom we last saw leaving her office after being suspended – it would have been nice to see some resolution there. Jason's outcome was a bit twee – I'd have preferred to see him reconciled with his mother and perhaps also with Tessa's husband. Not sure if the future was overly bright for Colin either, which is a pity as it was his eloquence that persuaded Cassie to her course of action.
I did wonder, once I'd thought about it a bit, how Marion could have bundled David Walker's body into a suitcase and either thrown it into the water or heaved it over the side of a boat. She would have to have had help, which suggests they helped each other and acted in twos rather than individually. We don't know how Sara and Colin carried out their deeds, but as Colin's abuser was never found, it's possible Sara took him by surprise and shoved him over the side of the boat, so not as much brute force required. And Colin could have bullied Marion's father into hanging himself I guess. I appreciate the halting of the investigation means these things were not explained but I do like loose ends to be tied up!
But I'm being picky – fantastic performances all round, with another stand-out scene from Mark Bonnar. I can't fault any of them, it was gripping from start to finish both as a whodunnit and as an exploration into society's changing views on the sordid subject matter. I gather Chris Lang wants to write another series and I'm sure it will be recommissioned. Cassie's father's story has been resolved – I wonder if we'll meet her other son next time, and if her and Sunny's personal lives will be explored further?

) and someone has pointed out we don't know if any of the 3 told their partners about the murders. We heard Marion telling her husband about the abuse, but we saw silent shots of Sara and her partner and Colin and his. Left for us to decide, I guess, and I have no problem with that.
Anymore to come?
