..it was so unbelievably bad how they orchestrated the "accident" that I can't continue watching this season.
They ambushed the first police officer, which is fine by itself but then turned to execute EVERYONE in sequence without anyone firing a single defensive shot! And the two others were standing outside the big truck (already a huge crap mistake that wouldn't happen), guns ready to fire and they were watching this without any reaction!?
I liked the show so much until the 4th season, included, and this turned me cold so much that I now don't want to touch it..
Maybe I'll forget the thing in a few months and try again, but this scene was so horribly shot (pun intended) it boggles the mind how they thought this was good enough for the show..

yeah, total shite, plus, just nicking the van and taking it to a secret location. Surely the van carrying £10 million of heroin would have a tracker on it. Very sloppy filmmaking indeed, especially for such a high-profile award-winning drama.
