What BollyAI Thinks

Series 2 arrived in late 2015 with the relationships reconfigured - Andy now in a relationship, Lance navigating his own domestic complications - and Crook deepened the Essex geography by widening the social world around the club. The BAFTA win had raised the show's profile without changing its pace or ambition. Critics who had praised the first series found their assessment confirmed: the Guardian's David Renshaw offered what became the show's defining critical formulation, noting it had struck the kind of gold its heroes spend hours looking for. The season introduced a Christmas special that December, suggesting Crook understood the show's relationship to the pleasures of the seasonal calendar.

Series 2 rewards the investment of series 1 by complicating the characters' domestic lives without ever letting the tone tip toward sitcom melodrama.
