SHETLAND viewers claim they were left bitterly disappointed by the show after last night\u2019s episode, leading some to \u201cgive up\u201d the new series.<\/p>\n

The criticism comes after Douglas Henshall\u2019s DI Jimmy Perez left the series last season. He has now been replaced by Ashley Jensen\u2019s DI Ruth Calder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the fourth episode of the new series, which aired on BBC One at 9pm last night, DI Calder continued working with DS Alison \u201cTosh\u201d McIntosh (played by Alison O\u2019Donnell) to solve the murder of Ellen Quinn (Maisie Norma Seaton).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week, the detectives caught Peter (Sandy Grierson) and took him into custody. He claimed he was performing funeral rites to honour Ellen out of long in keeping with the practices of an ancient religion. However, Tosh is convinced he\u2019s the killer and prepared to charge in last night\u2019s episode.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As she tries to find enough evidence to charge him, she and Calder stumble upon a second suspect who they believe could be his accomplice. They later track him down and make a startling discovery.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the episode reveals that Calder may have a much closer connection to the murder victim that she thought and that her sister-in-law Amma (Nina Toussaint-White) might have been involved in Ellen\u2019s death after she admitted she saw her on the day she died.<\/p>\n

The episode leaves viewers with more questions than answers. However, after watching this latest instalment, many viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to blast the BBC series for its predictable storyline.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following the fourth instalment, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the series so far, and while many love Ashley as the new female lead, others are unimpressed with the storyline.<\/p>\n

\u201cLosing a bit with the new Shetland, bit predictable,\u201d one commented.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A second viewer said they were struggling to follow it. \u201cIt grieves me to say it, but we\u2019ve given up on Shetland. Just no idea what\u2019s going on,\u201d they said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt started so good. So promising. Now drifting and rambling,\u201d added a third viewer.<\/p>\n

A fourth viewer complained that the characters\u2019 backstories are not as well rounded as they were in the past. I\u2019m sorry to say that Shetland isn\u2019t quite as good\u2026 it\u2019s the backstories \u2026 the stuff around the characters \u2026 When was the last time Tosh talked to Donnie, her husband, or mentioned her daughter?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, many other Shetland fans have been missing Douglas\u2019s presence, saying the series just isn\u2019t the same without Jimmy.<\/p>\n

One viewer pleaded: \u201cCome back Douglas Henshall, please. This new series is dreadful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said: \u201cI miss that Jimmy.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third added: \u201cIt\u2019s not the same without Jimmy.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, some long-time Shetland fans are still willing to give it a go, with many excited about Ashley\u2019s role in the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m enjoying the new look of Shetland just as much as the old. Possibly slightly more. The female leads are good,\u201d praised one viewer.<\/p>\n

Douglas left the series after seven seasons and doesn\u2019t seem to be looking back. He\u2019s already taken on a new stage role and starred in the Netflix thriller Who is Erin Carter? in 2022.<\/p>\n
