Episode #4.6

With Cassie out of action, the team knuckle down, and continue to learn exactly what happened on that eventful night.

This was a tremendous end to the forth series, it took us on an emotional rollercoaster ride, delivering on every level. It's a contender for show's best episode, it delivers a massive, unexpected twist, as well as given us an incredibly intelligent and satisfying conclusion to the case.

The acting has been sensational throughout, Part five allowed Fiona and Liz to shine, it's the men that shine in this one.

All I will say, is we had the same thing happen in The Bay, just a few weeks ago, and I think there also we were left wondering who....

Am heartbroken, but I tried to see what comes next.

Terrific, 10/10.

I've always enjoyed Unforgotten, but I must admit that this season is really exceptionnal!

The story and the plot are great, but the best thing is the actress and actor's performance. They're all great and portrayed their character very well, especially Lynch who I found really good. I'm also glad to see more of DI Khan's involvement this season.

Even though another season is listed I have no idea how it can continue. Cassie was great. As good an ending to a season/series I've ever seen. The endings are where series muck it up. Writers are tired, actors are tired, directors are tired. You know. Well done.

I landed on "Unforgotten" from the Guardians top TV of the year list and it was actually this season, the fourth, from 2021 that was the recommended one.

A headless corpse is discovered having been in a freezer for decades. Once identified, an old drink driving arrest leads Sunny (Sanjeev Bhaskar) to a group of friends who were celebrating their graduation from Police training and of whom two, Ram Sidhu (Phaldut Sharma) and Liz Baildon (Susan Lynch) are now in senior positions. Still reeling from the events of the last case, Cassie (Nicola Walker) wants to retire but is 3 months shy of her pensionable date, so returns to the team for one final case.

As I keep saying, I really don't like Police procedurals, so it takes something pretty special to keep me watching one. I watched the first three seasons in quick succession and though I enjoyed them all, I do feel like I was starting to see the similar beats being hit in each one. I had a little gap before this one, which did help, I think as this was one of the best cases they've done. Performances were really good, as ever it's a talented cast of recognisable performances that all have their own business going on and don't want to be involved in an investigation at all, let alone a murder investigation where they are a suspect.

There's even more of Cassie's personal life in this one, as the situation with her father worsens and she debates leaving the force before tragedy hits in the penultimate episode. I understand that there is a fifth season, and Police shows do seem like the one form of dramatic series that can continue without their lead still at the helm. It'll be sad though because Nicola Walker is a national treasure.

Another really good run for a good series.

With no exception, this is the finest hour of TV police drama I've ever watched. Throughout Season 4, the whodunit aspect of the story was shouldered aside by the personal drama of the characters - both the ones I liked (especially Dean and Liz) and the ones not so much.

It became all about how 4 emotionally wrecked human beings lived with the terrible events of one long-ago night and how they struggled to contain their agony trying to not let it spill out over the people they loved. Not at all to minimize the dogged pursuit of the truth by Cassie and her team.

Although the series is unquestionably a "police procedural," when Cassie lay helpless in her hospital bed, everything else went out the window. I felt as if she were part of my family from whom I had become distanced due to her (and my) abrasiveness. At that moment the distance vanished, and she was as close as my sister with whom I speak every day.

Brilliant writing, casting, acting, directing, editing from top to bottom. 30.
