The acting was fantastic! The court scene gave me chills, I totally believed and empathised with the characters. Then again, at the end, with the scene in the graveyard. Brilliant story line, brilliant actors - what more could you want!

Mark McGlynn
Brilliant can't wait till next week, already got my thinking cap on in trying work out the story lines, fantastic telly David Tennant and Olivia Coleman are the brilliant actors so believable.
Andy Powell
Love the edge between the two women defending / prosecuting.
Susan Harvey
Such clever writing. The script begins to draw the viewer in as the storyline begins to unravel from the first series, taking a completely new and unexpected direction. Powerful acting brings the characters back to life revealing frailties, imperfections and complexities. Introducing new characters whilst maintaining continuity plausible and so clever. Can't wait for next episode. David Tennant and Olivia Coleman have so brilliantly retained their character's personalities and angst. A fantastic acting ensemble by the rest of the cast.
Sandra Davies
Tennant and Coleman just as good a partnership as last time. Should be a cracking series again.
Lisa Bax Boorman
Never watched before but omg... gripping stuff...shame I have to wait til next week!

Jacqualine Ashton
F A N T A S T I C ! ! Why did it have to end so soon. Another one to keep me on the edge of my seat. Brilliant
Charlie Lilley
So many unanswered questions already....... Pure genius!!!!
Débora Sinh
I was afraid because the ending of last season was very conclusive, but this new series is setting a new point of view. It looks like it's going to explore everyone's feelings and standpoints in a deeper way (if that's even possible) than in the first season, showing us what isn't usually shown in the classic detective narrative, the answer to the "What will they do now?" question. Looking forward next episode!
Jason Small
I cannot until episode two. My brain is working overtime at trying to work out why the body was exhumed!
Margaret KnitWit RossMunro
It was fantastic, can't wait to see the 2 opposing barristers fight it out in court, the tension is mounting already. Brilliant.

Helen Jordan
Stonking start to a superb drama. The cast are superb and the scenery is stunning.
Jacquie Johnson
Well worth waiting a whole year for new series and it's only episode 1... Can't wait to see the story unfold, and sit on the edge of my chair for another roller coaster ride...
Cha Curoy
I was really looking forward to season 2 so I thought I was going to be disappointed but I couldn't have been more wrong! It had as much tension as in the first season (especially the trial scene and the final one at the cemetery) and the chemistry between Hardy and Miller was brilliant as well. That was something I loved in season 1 and I was glad to find it again.
Plus the big bonus, we get to know more about Sandbrook which was one of the things I wanted to see developed in season 2
Deb Morgan
Couldn't see how a new series could have been made after the last one ended, but I'm hooked again. A totally new way of making a drama that's real and gritty, and gets you thinking did he or didn't he!!
Flouressia Gardens
Double whammy - making us look forward to Monday's in January - exceeded expectations!
Sandra Fox
Can't wait for next weeks brilliant start . Very clever writing not at all what we expected.
Jeanna Gale
Brilliantly written and acted. Had me gripped with the Not Guilty plea!! This is going to be an amazing series and I knew they were going to deal with Sandbrook!!
Diane Atkinson
Brilliant!.. Edge of your seat viewing.. Nail biting.. Like it's never been away....bring on next Monday...
Eirene Croot
Gripping already. Absolutely love it. Can't wait till next week. And having a date with David Tennant every Monday for 8 weeks is a massive bonus too. Fantastic.
