    Watching this again after seeing s2e3 and Benny seems super nervous answering the question about Cap's sexuality. Like, it was literally so beautiful and nuanced and so true to the character, not just in regards to the romantic element. He should be incredibly proud.

    I already loved the first series, and binge-watched the second series last night, and boy did it step up a gear.
    Lots of back stories filled in (especially pleased to see Mary and the head being more to the fore-front), and a bit of forward plotting for the next series... there was a lot more depth to this series, I felt.
    Eagerly awaiting series Three ;)

      How the hell does that sound “complacent”? Do you even know what that means?? I think any writers find their second season of a series easier in the sense that the characters are better known and they can take a few more risks, be a touch more playful.....that’s just a fact, not complacency
