Thanks for the spoiler rt61. I agree with pawebster. The "Lewis" plots and dialogue are so convoluted and the conversations so cryptic (unnecessarily) that many viewers don't know ultimately WHO DID IT or WHY. It doesn't help that the two principle actors are habitually mumbling and slurring their words. While I understood perfectly the actor who plays "Lewis" in the superior "Morse", he's virtually inaudible in this series. In period dramas Laurence Fox's diction has clarity--in "Lewis" he talks as if he's slurping soup. A Poriot-like summing up at the end of each episode clearly enunciating their words, with a coherent script, would help the viewer comprehend the solutions. It's frustrating for the viewer to sit through entire episodes and not know what the h** most of the characters are talking about.
Major Spoiler Alert Below!
Would someone please write a spoiler and explain who committed the first murder in "the Point Of Vanishing" and why. Did the mother's infatuated friend do it? Was it a case of mistaken identity? Why did the mother wait so long to take revenge against her "I-Hate-Religion!" obsessed husband? Why didn't the second murder victim arrange to meet the daughter on neutral territory, instead of risking discovery (especially by the vengeful zealot of a brother) to engage in an "explanation" gabfest on the property where a big family bash was underway? How did the mother know her daughter was going to meet the second murder victim in the maze on the night of the party? How could the mother think, at a moments notice, that she could kill her victim with a knife before her daughter met up with him, and why would she plan to kill him in the maze leaving her daughter to discover the body and perhaps take the blame? What was the nature of the relationship between the daughter and the man who crippled her? After the mother destroyed her entire family, tricked her husband into committing suicide, and snuffed out three other lives (i.e. the two murder victims and her besotted boyfriend) did her daughter forgive her?
