Missing persons specialist Julien Baptiste (veteran French actor Tchéky Karyo) realised in the penultimate episode that Andras Juszt (Miklós Béres) was the far-right terrorist mastermind known as Gomorrah. With his stripy-tattooed neck and hollow stare, Andras had been hiding in plain sight all along. He claimed he was just a low-level errand boy w...
The Julien vs Andras dust-up was a gruntingly visceral scrap for survival. The younger man initially gained the upper hand, before Julien fought back with some bone-crunching headbutts. But as he sat catching his breath on the forest floor, the apparently unconscious Andras pulled a knife and stabbed Julien several times in the side. Baptiste knock...
As we’ve learnt from copious crime thrillers over the years (Reservoir Dogs springs to mind), a stomach wound might result in catastrophic bleeding but it takes a long time to die from it. Seven sad minutes after we presumed him dead, Baptiste reappeared for a fond farewell with British ambassador-turned-sleuthing partner Emma Chambers (the mighty ...
We just knew that “Stayin’ Alive” would come back into it somewhere. Emma Chambers’ murdered daughter Laura (Claude Scott-Mitchell) was seen in flashback, practising CPR to the rhythm of the Bee Gees’ disco classic. Now Emma used the technique to save her last surviving child, Will. He’d been laying the groundwork for the next terror attack by work...
Andras Juszt was last seen languishing in a Hungarian prison but giving a satisfied smirk. His hate crime had been foiled but he knew his toxic legacy would continue. Far-right thug Viktor Rádán (Dávid Zoltan Miller) – his name’s resemblance to current Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán’s probably no coincidence – inherited both the mantle and devilish folk...
Provocative local politician Kamilla Agoston, leader of the “Hungary First” party and “respectable face of the far right”, might have been cleared of being Gomorrah herself but she still had strong links to the terror group. When Andras leaked recordings of their conversations to the media in an attempt to shift blame and strike a plea bargain, it ...
Emma Chambers had told Baptiste that it was never too late to save his marriage. The long-suffering Celia had served him divorce papers in the wake of their daughter’s death. Julien failed to face his grief, instead hiding in his obsessive workaholism or at the bottom of a whisky bottle. “Hercule f***ing Poirot”, as Celia called him, went AWOL when...
Creators Harry and Jack Williams constructed another darkly compelling thriller. Their twisting six-part drama was an emotive examination of grief, far-right extremism and online radicalisation. It was pleasingly literate too, sprinkled with quotes from Friedrich Nietzsche and J Robert Oppenheimer. However, the coronavirus pandemic meant the siblin...
It’s been announced that this will be the second and final outing for the slow-burning spin-off from BBC One stablemate The Missing. The Williams brothers originally envisioned Baptiste as a trilogy but have since said they want to “do right” by the character, avoid becoming formulaic and not let him become “just another detective”. Tchéky Karyo ha...
