We'd always wondered about the strange spelling of Elaine's surname. Now we get it – Elaine Shepard is an anagram of Helena Parides, her real name before she underwent an identity overhaul and undertook her killing spree. When last we saw Detective Shepard, she was a fireball in Gabriel's arms as he hurled them from a balcony of the burning Salvia ...
Rellik left us with myriad mysteries and unanswered questions but chief among them is why exactly Elaine hurled acid at Gabriel in the park that night. The drama looked set to begin explaining it during the pair's showdown in the abandoned unit – but we never quite got to the nuts and bolts of it. "You did this to help me? You couldn't have me so n...
Acid-scarred Christine Levison was always a clear red herring. But she remained a mystery to the end, seemingly forgotten about in the final episodes. We know that she was intelligent and manipulative, relishing her ability to wind up the likes of Isaac and Gabriel with false confessions. But one major unanswered question still hangs over her – how...
Yes, it's a moot point but it's still annoying that Gabriel was shot by Elaine in the arm, was then seen clutching said wound in pain and yet still managed to haul his partner over his shoulder and carry her out of a burning building without much complaint. Irritating.
We're led to believe in the series finale that Gabriel's discovery at the Salvia Unit was one of the defining features of his career – it's set up as what turned him from an eager young cop into the jaded, twisted figure we meet in the weeks leading up to his acid attack. Presumably if Gabriel was the one to stumble across young Helena Parides (aka...
Given the sort of murky past he has – a track record known to the police – it beggars belief that Isaac hasn't been struck off. After all, it was he who ran the Salvia Unit – an establishment with widespread sexual abuse. And it was he who turned a blind eye to Helena/Elaine's childhood trauma. Sure, the cops don't know this is a man with a pervers...
Remember the secret gay relationship between two police officers? The receptionist who tried to break up with his girlfriend but ended up engaged to her instead? (And don't get us started on the chicken suit and horrific dangling pig prank.) Rellik put a lot of stock in set pieces between its officers in what often felt like a laboured attempt at o...
We're still not quite sure just how many lives Elaine took in her killing spree. There was Jonas Berner who lost his at the end (or start, depending on how you see it) of the story. In that same episode (number five) we also saw a dead woman, killed while Richard Bell was in custody. There's the hooded victim whose throat was slit by Stephen Mills,...

Oct 16, 2017 · Starring Richard Dormer as DCI Gabriel Markham, BBC One's latest serial killer drama is told in reverse. Here's Steve Charnock's Rellik review.
Oct 23, 2017 · BBC One’s latest drama series Rellik features a unique way of telling its story in reverse order. This creative narrative certainly takes more than a few ideas from the brilliant film Memento but the execution in series format is both Rellik’s strongest and weakest point.
