'Unforgotten' Season 3, Episode 3 Recap: The United Front Falls

Unforgotten reaches the investigative stage where Stuart and Khan begin diving into the lives of the suspects.

Mark: You know what we used to call blokes like Pete? Filth: Failed In London Tried Hong Kong. Bit of a wild west out there, wasn't it mate? Attracted a very distinct sort of person. I see you, buddy.

With Unforgotten airing as initially intended, episode 3 is where Khan and Stuart start poking around in the lives of the suspects. Unlike the first two seasons, though, there's less a sense of impending dread. None of the main suspects present as people who worked hard to pull themselves out of desperate circumstances or bad life choices. There's no Elizabeth Wilton, there's no Sara Mahmoud. Instead, there's Peter Carr, a con man willing to rook the elderly for money and stealing from his employers. There's Dr. Finch, riding on his reputation as an outstanding member of the community while secretly abusing his patients. Along with them, there's James Hollis, who blames himself for his son's gender queer status, and Chris Lowe, who can barely function in society.
