Season 1 was brilliant. Season 2, though, is just a pure propaganda piece for the UK government from the newly tamed BBC about how great and cozy the prison system is even though all those miscreants who don't deserve it. PURE PROPAGANDA. I gave the first season a very high vote. And then I watched the second season. And the whole thing has completely changed. The only common denominator was that they both take place in prisons. Probably, I am guessing here, the original work was only for one season because it can't possibly by the same person who wrote both. Second season is not a character study. It is not even a drama. It is just an adview about a fantasyland prison where everything is brilliant, except the inmates that is. Come on... You even killed the BBC.

Season one was one of my favourites and soooo original. And the Season two is the least original thing ever... and not even so many smart dialogues. Why even do a second season?...

Yes I mean the most idiotic cop character ever created. His British counterpart is not great either, but compared to him... All the rest of the people are decent enough and story has certainly an intriguing mystery to it. But how can you so badly mess up with casting of the two lead investigators? Anyone else would do, literally anyone. Put a rock and it would look better. Cooler at least.

But that's not the only problem. The actors are not really at fold, and yes even him, because the writing is just used a time filler. No substance to a great majority of lines uttered by the characters. The showrunner deserves to be kicked out of the industry for the unbelievably bad job he did, so as the writers. Just... don't.
