What BollyAI Thinks
Season 2 aired in October 2022 on Sky Atlantic and AMC+, earning 81% on Rotten Tomatoes - a slight dip reflecting the growing critical consensus that the show's plotting was the weakest element in an otherwise visceral package. Empire characterised it as 'ridiculously action-focused maximalist melodrama', though with evident affection rather than condemnation. The cast saw significant changes following Season 1's events, with new international criminal organisation plotlines bringing a broader political canvas. The action sequences maintained their extreme standard; critics continued to cite Gangs of London as the benchmark for television fight choreography. The season's narrative ambitions occasionally outran its ability to ground the human drama, but as a genre exercise it delivered.

The Room
“Ridiculously action-focused maximalist melodrama - as divorced from reality as a British crime series can get.”
Empire
Season Over Season
A slight step down from Season 1's debut impact - the plot mechanics creak more visibly but the set-pieces remain the show's undeniable strength.
