More running gags about Joyce's bad cooking and Troy's awful driving (this element flew by me the first time I watched or I'd forgotten it by the time Troy made his cameo in Blood Wedding season 11, haha).
More scenes of Cully getting along sweetly with her father, and the nice scenes of Tom discussing his case with the family another familiar charming comfort to the series. Other charming details included the rain clouds, thunderstorm, church bells, horseback riders, beekeepers,
twittering birds, and the usual lovely array of English country homes and gardens, including the grand castle-like manor of the lodge.

The bleak side included the new age claptrap theme, a drunken drugged out mother, a callous money bags father, ex-cons, liars, and a sexual scene with squeals and moans with the couple in bed (luckily they're covered up with sheets and blankets, only their shoulders exposed), oh, and of course the ghastly aspect of murder as revenge and greed!
Lovely balance of dark and light, good and evil !
