F...Me. Did the script writer think he was in Ireland?
Because I never knew almost every Scot use the F word in every second sentence they utter rather than using their bonnie wee slang, especially in refined Edinburgh. Och aye there was plenty of scope there - you ken. Coudna they not cut most of the constant effing oot? It was giein me the boak.
I also think that the producers were trying to give every actor in Scotland a bit part as our radgy anti hero and his neebs travelled around the high roads and low roads of Scotland trying to piece together the incredulous and convoluted cold case. The only Scottish characters missing seemed to be Robert Carlyle and Ewan McGregor. They certainly could have added lots of F's and C's and Hamish MacBeth would have solved the numerous brain teasing clues quicker than Detective Morck's canny polis.
Aye we know that conflict is the scriptwriter's main weapon in creating riveting drama but did our manky detective have to verbally abuse every person he met and did we have to have his mental burdens rammed down out throat? Or could it have intentionally meant to be tongue in cheek?
Aye in my view lots of flaws in this but despite the continuous effing and ridiculous plot the actors delivered the sharp dialogue very effectively.
So about 40 cold cases still on the desk in Dept F? At the rate Series One went, by the time the series finishes my ashes will be well gone with the wind on the Isle of Skye.
But if they cut down the effing, keep the plot simple and tighten up the screen play I will look forward to watching Series Two. Tattie Bye.

Let me first congratulate the makers of this professional production if somewhat biased towards the accused rather than the victim and family and containing the biggest red herring that could be caught in the Black Sea in that the police and the prosecution were racially prejudiced.
Yes, Motive, Means and Opportunity are the 3 pillars that investigators use when deciding who committed a crime. And in the riveting documentary "Who killed Garrett Phillips" these are critical in solving the case.
Motive - Hillary had a real motive to throttle young Garrett. Garrett couldn't stand Hillary and his imposed control and discipline and was the main reason that his mother ended the relationship with Tandy putting the future of her sons first. The break up happened only a few weeks before the murder and Hillary must have been still seething with frustration that he had lost the love he planned his future with.
Means - Hillary had owned a key into the murder apartment and knew how to get in and out of it. He was a fit athlete and would find no problem in strangling a young 12 year old, possibly on impulse, who might have been offensive to him. He would also have been able to cope with jumping out the rear window and escaping without seriously injuring himself.
Opportunity - The CCTV is strikingly pertinent showing young Garrett going past the school on his skate board and a few seconds later Hillary following. Hillary stated that he has gone to the school to scout a soccer match but did not park any where near it or even get out of his car because he says it was raining. Some scout? The rain did not stop the soccer game or Garrett skate boarding home.
Even more pertinent is the fact that the CCTV then shows Hillary turning left to follow Garrett rather than turning right which would have been the normal way he would go home. He stated several times earlier to police that he had gone straight home.
Other evidence. - Hillary was evasive to show any sort of injury on his initial police investigation that he might have suffered jumping out of the window. He did have an abrasion on one leg. He could not fully explain how he had got it and changed his testimony when he got it.
DNA - there was evidence from DNA pulled from Garrett's fingernails that Hillary was the killer. This was based on the then little used STR mix (short tandem repeat) of mixed DNA samples. Because of the small sample it was disallowed as evidence. I would have preferred to receive more discussion on this from DNA experts rather than it be disallowed.
Is it feasible that a complete stranger saw Garrett, followed him, got into his apartment, killed him, jumped out of the window and disappeared without trace for motive only known to himself?
Would John Jones tie his dog outside a building, strangle a boy who loved him so as to make his mother want to go out with him again, then jump out of a high window, pick up the dog and go home? Unseen by any witness.
Did Hillary prefer a judge to a jury because he knew a judge would abide by the strict the laws of evidence and levels of doubt rather than use intuition and gut feeling that juries can use?
Why does Tandy Cyrus Phillips and all her family still believe it was Nick Hillary that killed Garrett Phillips? As I do.

Whilst I do not agree with many other users on the performance of the female lead (she did not annoy me too much) And although I'm against wokeism, which was prevalent all over the production, wouldn't some-one like Idris Elba have been great as the chaser?
But I also think the casting of both leads could have been better. There is no doubt that Eddie Redmayne is good at his trade but he did not convince me as the conflicted yet icy cold killer (like Michael Fassbender did). Or was there any real chemistry between him and his Spanish partner.
As for the screen play - yes lots of very well filmed action and tension and all the main actors would have multiplied their frequent flyer points to the numerous locations but please when are scriptwriters going to get rid of the stereotype that all cops cannot have a stable relationship and a loyal partner? And the inevitable mole in the goodie organization? Surely there are other credible but gripping scenarios that will fit into 10 episodes.
Yep chase productions the likes of "The Fugitive" are always a good bet to hold your attention but did we need that much violence? This worries me somewhat what see on the screens these days to when I was a kid and what goes on in the world and wonder whether young impressionable minds can develop an infatuation with the anti hero. Being a stable geriatric I can cope with all the violence on film and it doesn't want to make me do anything dangerous. But I really worry sometimes about others.
