The BBC One show has followed DSCI Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) and her team try and identify who killed Craig Burke's (Martin Compston) on-board a Trident nuclear submarine.

After waiting four weeks to find out who murdered the Chief Petty Officer, last night Russian spy Matthew Doward (Lorne MacFadyen) revealed all.

He explained that chef Jackie Hamilton (Anita Vettesse) was told to poison him so that he could come on board.

This has left viewers wanting to know the answer to one question - will there be another series.

While some fans branded the season finale "a total let down", others are itching to know if it'll make a return.

One wrote on Twitter: "Ok BBC, how long until we get a season 2 of #Vigil ?"

Another said: "I’m hoping for season 2. Yes?! No?!"

A third chimed in: "Will there be a season 2?"

Some blasted the show for a string of "pathetic" blunders and weren't impressed with the ending.

One posted online: "Little bit let down by the ending to be honest. All seemed very rushed but glad she got out of the tube. #Vigil."

A second raged: "What a load of twaddle!

"So unrealistic and the ending was like a squib fizzling out with no explosion or effects."

They were even less impressed to see Detective Sergeant Kirsten Longacre (Rose Leslie) arrest Ben Oakley during the land investigations - and then go on to interview him on a street bench.

One viewer pointed out: "So police arrest people and question them on a bench in the street? This is so far fetched #Vigil."

Another tweeted: "#Vigil this is getting really stupid now. Arrest a suspect and interview him while sat on a bench. Then the dc is locked in a flooding torpedo tube and shouting. I was thinking tap tap. Eventually cap goes to investigate, next minute he's back in command centre. Just pathetic."

Others had nothing but good things to say about the show.

Another said: "I loved the ending to #Vigil, I think it was all tied up nicely."

Another mused: "No idea why anyone is whinging about vigil it was good drama from 1 to 6 not like we sat for 8 years for a awful ending. #vigil".
