The End, my friend
'The Silence' was BBC1's big thing this week and was good enough, kept ticking along nicely without being overly special. But, sweet Jesus on a sodding bike, the bloody ending ........What was it all about? Did the Scottish copper live, did the bent cops get caught? did the deaf girl cop off with her cousin? What happened.... TELL ME!
If you're going to tell me a story and keep me going back for four bleeding days, have a sodding ending in mind. I don't want to make up my own mind about what happens to the characters, it was your story not mine.
This really winds me up (as you can see). Why do writers do this? Is it really because they don't know? They made the whole thing up anyway, make up a proper bloody ending. Even if it's shit or doesn't make sense. End it, you bastards.
I can't think of one ending like this that works (maybe Sopranos...maybe)...but I do know it's fecking bleeding irritating to invest that time and some tit can't be bothered to tell me how it ends.

I felt rather let down by the ending too.
Having very successfully built up the two main baddies to the extent that you really, really, really, really wanted to see them suffer, it was a shame to be left wondering at the level of humiliation and suffering that would be visited upon them.
I thought that was the penultimate episode!
You mean that's it? That's really poor...
Yeah,
That's exactly what I thought! I looked at the clock at 9.57 and thought 'They're going to have move it to tie all these loose ends up...oh, they're not going to bother at all!'.
So bascially the whole thing was about a load of people shouting at each other looking unhappy and a deaf girl shouting silently looking unhappy. Great.
Cheers!
You've saved me watching the (recorded) last episode. Might have been better to put a spoiler alert and the rest in the post, rather than on the front page. I really was looking forward to it too.
I think
1. The copper lived. They put hium in the ambulance saying he would.
2. They caught the baddies. Rocky and the drug dealer boyfriend etc were all coming through.
3. She didn't get of with he cousin - he was a twat of the first order with a stupid downey moustache.
I agree with Vulpes though, I would have preferred to see the two CID guys soundly cashiered.
