They weren't happy with the ending of Better on the BBC
Unhappy Better viewers have slammed the "absolute waste of time ending" from the BBC drama while some have shared their theories over what could happen next.
The popular Leeds-based and filmed crime drama was made up of a total of five episodes and starred Leila Farzad as DI Lou Slack and Andrew Buchan as criminal Col McHugh. Throughout the show, corrupt DI Slack tried to find a way out and to turn her life around but instead created even more problems for herself and those around her.
During the grand finale of series one tonight, her actions saw her colleague DC Esther Okoye go on sick leave due to stress and DI Slack's ally, Vernon Marley, played by Anton Lesser, got killed while in prison. DI Slack started running out of time and decided to confront Col in a dramatic showdown.Many predicted an action-packed finale with at least one of them ending up dead. However, in a surprise twist, DI Slack convinced Col to come clean instead.
The final scene showed them both waiting at the police station, ready to give their statements. Some viewers said they were disappointed by the last episode and said the ending appeared abrupt.@juliecw65 said: "Well that was a waste of six hours of my life."@Peachyfruitcake said: "What an absolute crock of s**** - waste of time!"
@moridura criticised: "Better was a promising, well-acted crime drama but sputtered out in tonight's final episode like a damp squib. As in chess, the endgame is everything, and scriptwriters who can't end their drama should find another line of work."And @sam__wxm commented: "Rather obscure ending to a decent drama.
