Well this series really made us think about morals and justice, and

mitigating circumstances when crimes are committed

I've just watched the concluding episode, and it was excellent, imo. I don't want to give away what happened, as I thought there might have been posts up here already about it, but there aren't. Just want to reiterate what I've said in the subject of this thread.

Crimes, murders are not always as straightforward as we at first imagine. The people we least expect to have committed them sometimes have, but for what reasons, and are there mitigating circumstances that make their guilt somehow less?

I felt sorry for most of the characters tonight, mostly, obviously, for Maureen, Jimmy's mum, but also for some of the accused and the times they were living through, the public attitude to their lifestyle choices, and towards mental health of all kinds.

The final rounding up scenes were particularly sad, especially concerning Matt, whom I hated by the time this episode was halfway through.

I'll wait for any other threads to start in order to make any comments with particular details in them, as I don't want to spoil the series for anybody.

Great news that there's going to be a second series though, because I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
