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."

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.
