Torture

As the episode title implies. This is torture porn, it could had been directed by Eli Roth.

The Anchor-Ferrers go through dread in the present. Bound up by the fake detectives Honey and Molina. At first it seems they are only interested in taking their jewellery but they later return.

The flashbacks to five years ago show how two teenagers were brutally killed. Jack Caffrey was a young copper then and was involved in the investigation.

Now with a dog with a message in tow. Jack returns to the area looking for its owner. The dog belongs to the Anchor-Ferrers.

Both the storylines are merging. Jack Caffrey felt that there were two murderers and Minnet Kable might be the wrong man who went to jail.

This was petrifying, I will assume the novel is more graphic. Sacha Dhawan channels his Master from Doctor Who.

It also seems to be that despite looking like a race against time. Jack's search and the Anchor-Ferrers ordeal could be in slightly different timelines.

The Anchor-Ferrers face a harrowing deal at the hands of the two visitors, DI Jack Caffery gets a vital clue about The Anchor-Ferrers trouble, courtesy of Bear the dog.

Once again, it's all sorts of weird and wonderful, but compared to episode one, this was a little easier to follow, some of the pieces of this elaborate puzzle seem to be falling into place.

It's wild, funny and outrageously over the top, I can imagine this is somewhat Marmite for many, but I enjoyed it. I still think there's a lot more to come.

One thing that has become clear after this episode, is that the timelines aren't running side by side, Bear's presence details the past and presence.

Great to see Sian Reese-Williams, she has a definite presence, and of course it's always good to see Kai Owen, bit arguably it's Sacha Dhawan that steals the show this time, Honey is one unhinged guy, what a breathless, energetic performance.

Bonkers, but enjoyable.

7/10.
