Fool Me Once: Episode 3

 "Life-ruining rat!"

Deep breath. Lots of rabbit holes here. So...

The red car belongs to Corey the Whistle, who had dodgy arrangements with both Claire and Joe, feeding him info to protect Maya... infor for whi they both deied. Info about the Burketts? They're certainly paying off a lot of person. And that Neil (the third Burkett brother?) certainly seems dodgy. Which probably, of course, makes him the red herring.

Of course, I'm sure there's a lot to be revealed about what truly happened with Maya's apparent war crime- we're certainly being teased a lot. Then there's Claire's kids investigating a tech bro ex of their mother's, whose firm has a weird, QR code-flashing robot thingy.  Oh, and one of the motorbiokes from Joe's murder is linked to that unpleasant football coach. and the cliffhanger... wow.

And yet... what really impresses is the characters. Michelle Keegan is great, of course. But Adeel Akhtar also impresses as the able but world-weary DI Kierce (again, stop calling him "Detective Kierce!: this is not America!), a very well-rounded character. I'm still not sure this is about anything beyond the thrills... but does it have to be?
