Unforgotten Review

Every episode of Unforgotten has been great. This one wasn’t much different. It unraveled the mystery a tad bit more and brought in some new twists. We found out that Chris was potentially a kiddie diddler. Pete had previous trouble and Tim’s ex-wife is somewhat of a nutcase. Eliot’s name has been mentioned now too. Pete was stabbed and possibly killed. Will that result in repercussions for Cassie? Will it impact the investigation?

All of the suspects seem equally guilty at this point. I can’t wait to finish watching to find out what happens. The episode was great. An 8 out of 10 is deserved. Catch up with previous recaps of Unforgotten now!
