What BollyAI Thinks

Series 5 faced the structural challenge of rebuilding around a new lead following the Series 4 finale. Sinead Keenan's DCI Jessie James arrived with a different register to Walker's Cassie Stuart - more abrasive, more emotionally defended - and critics were broadly supportive of the recalibration. Sanjeev Bhaskar's Sunny Khan provided continuity and the cold case format operated with its accustomed structural discipline. The series was a qualified success: proof that Unforgotten could survive the loss of its founding lead, even if the particular alchemy of Walker and Bhaskar could not be replicated. Audiences largely followed.

Series 5 is essentially a new show with inherited architecture; Keenan earns the trust placed in her without quite reaching Walker's register.
