'Unforgotten' Season 3, Episode 2 Recap: "Wait, The TV Guy?"

As Season 3 continues, Unforgotten's detectives land their first clear lead, as Sunny and Stuart build a picture of the failed case.

Hollis: "They've come -- the police -- about her."

This week's episode is where viewers might start feeling the fact that PBS did not choose to smash together the season's episodes into three 90-minute outings, and instead let the show run for six weeks at 45-minutes a pop. In our first two seasons, this week's episode would have run as the "back half" of the premiere. As a standalone installment, it plays somewhat differently, but it does help that the show keeps improving every season. Season 1 was difficult because of the time factor, a fifty-year-old case with suspects all in their 70s or later. When the murderer was revealed, none of it felt much like justice served. In Season 2, the case happened in the early 1990s, so less removed, and the young ages of those involved meant the suspects were still in the prime of life. That backfired with the discovery their young ages meant they were the real victims, once again leading to a conclusion where serving justice wouldn't have felt like a victory.
