Better on BBC One: Viewers call out ‘ridiculous’ plot hole

In the first episode of Better, DI Lou Slack returned to work after her son, Owen, was left seriously ill in hospital.

On her first day, she went to the scene of a local robbery. And, because of her criminal links, she knew exactly who did it.

Noel Wilkes had a particularly recognisable set of teeth, and when she headed to the safe house he was in, he was holding his cousin hostage there.

Lou told the other officers that she had met Noel a few times and would go into the hostage situation, unarmed.

This is obviously because she knows Noel, but viewers at home thought it was ridiculous that her colleagues would just accept this.

Criminal Noel also asked Lou to look after his dog after he was arrested. And this viewers to think her colleagues would become suspicious of her.
