Plot: Well, Erin (Michelle Keegan) is still in hiding following her involvement with crime boss Terence McCann’s last series. On discovering her whereabouts, Vinnie (Joe Gilgun) uses a road trip to the deepest Wales as an excuse to track her down and bring her back to Hawley.
I was looking forward to another series of Brassic.
Pros: I laughed though out a lot of the antics the gang got themselves in too this season. Jim stole every scene he was in. I enjoyed all the chemistry between all the Guys & Girls. There were some little heartfelt teary moments in the last two episodes and (Spoiler Alert) The last moments had dire consequences going into a possible Series 5.
Cons: The baddies were not that impressive. The adventures weren’t up to all other ones in the series and at times it was hard to understand the storyline for this series.
