After recent events, Alan Ward has been demoted to a traffic Sergeant, but Kingdom soon has him back on the team, the first case, an accelerated death of a terminally ill child.
Cracking opening episode to the second series, I've sometimes been critical of melodrama, bit in this instance the plot is woven, the characters sincere, the actions and outcome plausible.
One of the show's more dramatic episodes, more action scenes than is normally the case.
Philip Madoc is excellent as grieving father Cyril, his pedigree is visible, he strikes a great balance between grief and terror, he really does stand out.
It's perhaps the first time that we see Ward smile, and it's perhaps the first time we get to see the pair working as a unit, and not at loggerheads, I wonder if the improved working relationship will continue throughout the series, or if they'll be rats in a bag once again.
If series two is up to this standard, I'll be binge watching. 9/10.
