Have given up on it. Life's too short and there are better things to watch.

I have watched 2 episodes and still haven’t a clue what’s going on!

I was planning to watch episode 2 last night but decided I couldn’t face it. Too tired to struggle working out who’s who and I don’t much care for gritty crime dramas. I did want to spot the locations thiugh.

I watched the second episode last night. I was wondering how the sister who had been adopted had pointed out the family of the shooter. They were not at the ice rink when she was there meeting her brother. I thought I had missed a bit out but I know I did not. I will carry on watching it but will probably be still puzzled.

We wondered that too, Redhead, nor did her brother as far as we could remember.

I thought it was brilliant with superb acting from the whole cast. Yes , it's dark but excellent drama.

We recorded this and watched it last night. Oh what another tale of northern misery. I know there is a reality to it and its a terrible thing but I really don't like going to bed miserable. It all plays on my mind. Not watching anymore.

We got through it and wow powerful drama, but shell shocked when it ended.
I didn't see the ending coming with they young girl and her actions!
I'm looking farward to next weeks now. Don't think I can binge watch it, I would need counselling after.

I thought it was grim and nasty (and that was just episode 1).

Souse me BigBertha but Nottingham is not a northern area. Far from it though we in the north have similar desperate memories of the miners strike.

Nope, me neither. Couldn’t work out why they thought the girl would know anything at all.

Very disappointing. Having seen the first series I had high expectations, but it lacked cohesion. Unpleasant and all over the place. A missed opportunity and a waste of some exellent actors, particularly Monica Dolan and Lesley Manville. And no Robert Lindsay!

I've lived in Nottingham all my life and recognised a lot of the places shown. I fet the storyline was quite dark but loosely based on the Gunn family from the Bestwood area (gangsters known to the police who had connections with some corrupt officers in the 90s)

I watched 5 episodes last night on iPlayer.

Does anybody know where Lesley Manville’s nice spotted dress came from.
You can tell I’m concentrating on the plot !

And, what has she done to her hair?

Was not sure if to watch the 2nd episode but glad I did now, very good and the ending was a shock. Cannot wait for the next episode.

Series One I assume?

Series 2 only out weekly.

Thanks - I wasn’t sure I could binge 👍🏻

I was quite shocked when I realised how violent the storyline was. I live in Ashfield barely a mile from where the initial murders actually happened in series 1. I hope that viewers realise that series 2 is fiction and not fact.

I will keep watching, I enjoyed it.

Robert Lindsay was in the first episode for a few minutes.
You’re right, it’s all over the place and unconvincing, I really liked the first series but not this one.
Too much soul searching and staring into the middle distance and things that didn’t make sense.

Errrr, yes I certainly do.

Looked like rats had been knawing at it. Still had her trademark heavy eyeliner tho.

That’s what we noticed too, how was she supposed to know?
The murderous family getting revenge could easily have found out what they looked like, a black middle aged couple with a white step daughter with Downs Syndrome are going to be easily spotted.They also had inside info from the mole within the police station.
