What BollyAI Thinks

Series 2 aired in January 2015. The season opened the Danny Latimer case to a criminal trial while simultaneously excavating a past case of Hardy's involving allegations of rape. The courtroom expansion brings a richer scope, and new cast members join the story smoothly. The season structure leans on groundwork laid in Series 1, with the central relationship between Hardy and Miller continuing to drive the show forward. Both Tennant and Colman deliver standout work again. The season lands as a strong continuation, though it does not consistently match Series 1's peak critical impact, a typical challenge for follow ups to landmark mystery procedurals.

Season Over Season

The courtroom setting gave the story a new procedural grammar, but the season operated as aftermath rather than standalone mystery, limiting its critical ceiling compared to Series 1.
