What BollyAI Thinks

Series 2 deepened the show's wartime moral landscape, moving beyond the initial novelty of the period setting to demonstrate sustained dramatic range. Horowitz's scripts continued to find criminal cases that illuminate specific wartime fault lines - supply shortages, military justice, the treatment of conscientious objectors. Michael Kitchen's performance remained the anchor: a detective so methodically decent that his presence in a scene feels like a rebuke to moral compromise. Critics who had admired the debut found nothing to revise. The Sydney Morning Herald's Robin Oliver captured the consensus when praising Kitchen's return, noting Horowitz's ongoing commitment to a portrait of home front England that doesn't flatten complexity into nostalgia.
