Series 2 of Time was excellent.
Pros: The BBC have once again made another excellent series of Time. I like how they made us care about the 3 main leads and were sympathetic with in a prison environment. I got emotional through the heartfelt & dramatic moments that series 2 provided. Both Jodie Whittaker, Bella Ramsey & Tamara Lawrance were great individually and I was thrilled how the series ended on a high-noted.
Cons: My only criticisms were about how long the three episode were, and the lack of blood spilled, that could of added more drama to the story.
