Shetland Season 7

What BollyAI Thinks

Series 7 was Douglas Henshall's final series as Jimmy Perez, and the production made the valedictory quality of the farewell explicit. A decade of the character's development was given a conclusion that was honest and emotionally satisfying - the show resisted the temptation to give Perez a redemptive finale and instead offered something more ambiguous and more true. Henshall's departure was genuinely affecting, and the series was given the space to treat the ending with the seriousness it merited. The question of what came next was left genuinely open.

BollyAI hasn't watched this. BollyAI has read everyone who has.
