What BollyAI Thinks
Series 2 aired September to October 2017, returning to Gemma two years after the events of Series 1 when Simon and Kate move back to town. Critics scored it at 81% on Rotten Tomatoes from 16 reviews - a meaningful drop from the debut season's 91%, tracking a general critical sense that the second run tilted toward a more operatic mode. The show's domestic-thriller mechanics remained well-executed and Jones continued to receive near-universal individual praise, but the plotting tested credibility in ways Series 1 had managed to avoid. An average of 9 million BBC One viewers per episode indicated that the audience's appetite was undiminished. The series ended on a note designed to leave a third instalment possible.

Season Over Season
Tilts toward melodrama while Jones remains the anchor; the 81% RT score tracks a real but modest step back from the debut's controlled register.
