What BollyAI Thinks
Season 2 returned Lisa Armstrong to a fresh Morecambe murder, with the family liaison structure intact but the novelty of Season 1 necessarily reduced. Morven Christie retained critical goodwill - her performance was consistently cited as the series' steadiest asset. Reviewers who had warmed to the setting's bleak specificity found the season reasonably satisfying as a returning-format crime drama. Critics who wanted the show to deepen its procedural or emotional ambition were less impressed. The season aired in January 2021 during UK lockdown, which boosted viewership. For audiences, it was comfort-crime viewing executed competently; for the more demanding observer, it was a show content to run in place. Solid rather than memorable.

Season Over Season
Season 2 replays the FLO-in-over-her-head structure of Season 1 without meaningfully raising the stakes or breaking the formula.
