What BollyAI Thinks
Season 2 aired on BBC One in October 2016 with a new case about a British soldier's daughter reported missing in Germany, and it carries a 96-percent Rotten Tomatoes score from 26 critics, building on Season 1's strong approval. David Morrissey and Keeley Hawes take over as the parents, replacing Nesbitt and Frances O'Connor while keeping the emotional gravity of the central relationship intact. The Williams brothers' time structure grows more complex and more assured, jumping across multiple years with less expository scaffolding and trusting viewers to track each cut. Tcheki Karyo's Baptiste remains the connective tissue, and his presence is enough to earn his own spinoff. The anthology format is treated as an upgrade rather than a compromise, with Season 2 feeling like the show knows exactly what it is.
