I'm a bit late to this one but 'Time' on the BBC iPlayer with Sean Bean and Stephen Graham is superb. 3 episodes, of about an hour each, of gritty prison drama.
Wouldn't bother with the 2nd series as the cast and acting is much weaker.
The cast for Season Two is a pretty strong mini ensemble made up of probably three of the UK's strongest female acting talent in Siobhan Finneran, Bella Ramsey and Jodie Whittaker. It's never going to hit the same kind of highs as Season One which was probably carried by two of the best male acting talent in the UK currently - with Sean Bean and Stephen Graham - the latter seemingly having been booked for just about every big TV job last year.
I think close to 20m tuned in to Season One. It was led by the Sherwood and The Long Shadow Director, Lewis Arnold. Similarly, when Sherwood Season Two comes out, it's not Directed by Arnold and I don't think the brilliant David Morrissey features either. It will likely be deemed weak, but not because these second installments aren't god or worth watching, just that their initial predecessors were so bloody damn good
On an ending note, has anyone watched;
The Long Shadow - True Crime drama adaptation about the Yorkshire Ripper victims and police investigation
BODIES - Detective Miniseries set in four different eras, each detective trying to solve the murder of the same body appearing in each era.
Archie - Four part biopic, covering the rise of the life and times of Archibald Leach, aka Cary Grant
The Final Season of The Crown - Needs no introduction as the hit series comes to its conclusion
