I searched and can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. I guess the deduction is left to the viewer.

and now I‘ll have to watch this series having been sucked in by the reviews.

have you seen the Cadfael episodes? Cadfael is a medieval priest detective played by Derek Jacobi.

I've watched one or two, but haven't been motivated to watch the whole series. I've watched most of the episodes of Inspector Morse and Detective Montalbano (with English subtitles).

I just finished The Mentalist with Simon Baker. It was quite good mostly thanks to ensemble acting and Simon Baker's engaging personality. The unexpected plot twists make it even more interesting.

I just watched the scene and Adam Wainwright's immediate reaction is 'not another bomb' but I can't make sense of this in what I remember of the context of the episode (although it's a while since I watched it properly). It could be something was cut, or perhaps a rather clumsy plot device to get Adam out of the hotel so he and Sam could go on to greater things in future episodes.

Got sucked into Game of Thrones : barely escaped with my life after a season'n'half.
