Viewers of Shetland on BBC One all said the same thing after last night’s heartbreaking and shock finale (Wednesday November 24).
The sixth series wrapped things up last night and provided fans with an answer to the who killed Alex Galbraith question.
However, as the series ended on a cliffhanger viewers were up in arms at the BBC saying a seventh series will be back next year. They can’t wait that long!
Shetland on the BBC: What happened in the finale?
In the finale, the mystery behind Marie-Ann Ross was finally solved – she died some 20 years ago at a drug-fuelled party attended to by Alex Galbraith, Darren Bedford and Niven Guthrie.
After she became ill and died in her sleep, Galbraith and Guthrie buried her body on the moor.

However, two decades on, Galbraith was intent on spilling the beans as to what happened.
This was too much of a risk for his wife, Eve, to take, and she was the one who shot him in order to save her political career.
What’s going to happen to Jimmy and Duncan?
But there was more drama, when it was revealed Donna Killick had written to her lawyer telling him that Duncan had been threatening to poison her.
And, furthermore, that Jimmy Perez was going to cover things up and let his pal walk free.
Donna Killick got her revenge from beyond the grave.
By the end of the episode, Duncan was sitting in a jail cell and Jimmy was arrested.
And with the news that viewers would have to wait until 2022 to find out what happens to them both, they were up in arms.
