Series 18 - what a great start - spoilers

Wow, what a terrific opener. SW hasn't been anywhere near this good since the Pomp of Harry and Nikki at least 5 years ago (Voids / Run etc.)

I know it is a re-tread of a real life situation in the USofA. But is was so well done. Much better than the last few seasons.

I thought the cheating brother of the deaf groom got off lightly, he couldn't even remember what series of car it was and did nothing when a car parked perpendicular to them, took no notice of the registration (which would have solved the whole show immediately I guess) which was pointing right at him, and then just legged it to the wedding rehearsal whilst keeping quiet that the bride isn't turning up because she is dead. What a total git.....

I also thought it showed up the dumb obsession that senior cops have with Public Relations and the absolute and total hypocrisy of the press. "It's been 24 hours and you haven't arrested somebody.... anybody will do"

What did the press expect, the officer to pull a face and a name out of thin air as if nothing had been learned from the Christopher Jefferies debacle. "Give us a name, any name, we'll destroy him and then come after you for giving us the wrong name...."

Fantastic stuff guys, keep it up.
