Viewers took to Twitter to complain about the instalment, claiming that the drama is "hard to follow". One person wrote: "Cor, this is a bit convoluted. I think ITV have overestimated how easy this is to follow #Grace," while another added: "If you haven't read the books, I'd imagine that #Grace is a bit hard to follow."

Some viewers felt the episode was "hard to follow"

However, not all viewers were left baffled by the episode, with many praising the compelling plot. One person tweeted: "Really loving #Grace on @ITV really gripping," while another added: "Really enjoying #Grace on @ITV, John Simm is excellent as the troubled detective but big up to @Cparks1976 as Norman Potting for the corking moments of levity."

A third fan commented: "This is soooooo the best thing, what Sunday nights were made for #Grace."

While ITV is yet to confirm a new series of the detective drama, fans will be happy to know that John is willing to reprise his role for years to come.
