The bit that got me the most was when Cassie’s dad was replaying her message over and over. 😭

I lost my Dad earlier this year and I remember a few days after he died I went to my answerphone just so I could hear his voice again. I was so sad that there was only one brief message from him from 3 months earlier but loads from other people. I couldn’t understand why there was only one and from so long ago. And then it hit me. It was because I always took his calls. That made me feel so much better.

I know this was only fiction, but I bet poor Cassie’s dad wished he’d taken her call.
I bawled my eyes out. Never expected her to die. They kept that ending so secret which I think is what made it all the more shocking.

My Dad brought me up too, it’s a special bond. 🥰
I know what you mean, though. Precious memories.

Sorry back on topic...

Did anyone else think that we didn’t “see” Cassie’s funeral because, if real life, it would have taken place under Covid restrictions so they adapted it? Or do you think it was always intended to just be a voiceover of Sunny’s eulogy?
I think it was actually more impactful not having the visuals because it made the viewer focus on the words.

i think that’s right. The focus had to be on Sunny’s beautiful words.
 
My first time watching and my family were so gripped we watched most of it in a row but had to bail on the ending as it got so late. I was quite disappointed at the end, I feel like it didn't make sense for them to all collude to hide the body of someone who (as far as 4/5 of them knew) died in an accident. Like yes they were chasing him but they weren't even there when he died and it's 1990, there probably wasn't even CCTV. Didn't add up.
 
We finally watched it last night, after work kept us from sitting down together and watching. Oh boy maybe it’s tiredness and pregnancy but I cried so much! Oh Cassie.

My guess is they all played their part, perhaps covering for Ram who they thought did it? Not entirely sure that the others were complicit enough to believe they’d keep quiet for 30 years though? A tad far fetched, if I thought my mate murdered someone and I knew I had had nothing to do with I wouldn’t keep quiet, what do I have to lose by speaking the truth?

Agree with other posters, the series and finale were really for Cassie. Feel bereft!

Yes I think covid meant we didn't see Cassie's funeral. But I actually think it was filmed beautifully as it was, we didn't really need to see a church full of people we, the viewers, don't even know. The viewers are invested in Cassie, Sunny and their stories so hearing his eulogy was very personal and touching. I get the frustration of the loose ends, but I honestly wasn't that bothered about who cut the body, why it was stored in a freezer etc. We found out who killed him, why and how. I was too busy swimming in a sea of tears at Cassie's death to give it much other thought.

And Sanjeev's brilliantly understated performance. Just thinking about that moment when he smiles, kisses his fingers and gently touches them to the headstone has me bawling again.

I also feel like this series didn't have as much of his character and old dynamic with Cassie in it so it scratched that itch for me
 
Slightly OT but .... I have just discovered Nicola Walker's first movie credit, on Four Weddings and a Funeral & cannot believe I have only found this out 🤣

I remember coming across this a couple of years ago! She is also in one very chilling episode of Jonathan Creek from back when Caroline Quentin was in it, also playing a copper but nothing like our Cassie.
 
I also remember her being in something quite a while back and she played the baddie, she was quite deranged in it! It was either on BBC or ITV. I’ll have to check out her filmography
