Series 2 is as good as 1
Vindelander24 September 2021
Thoroughly enjoyed series 2 and have rated both series 8 overall. Quirky story well scripted and Daisy Haggard's acting is a delight.

The supporting cast are all outstanding and the setting in Hythe just tops it all off.

Highly recommend this.

A strong start to the second series.

Miri is still struggling with life weeks after her release from prison, she's not talking to either her best friend or parents, but has landed herself a new job in a supermarket.

Daisy Haggard delivers once again, a very strong episode.

I'm not sure what's so good about this show, yes it's funny and well acted, but the writing is just incredible, it's a great start to the second series.

Definitely some funny moments here, I love Miri's parents, and once again they provide several laughs, they just don't know what on Earth to do with their dysfunctional daughter, they've gotten older, and they're having to deal with a daughter who's missed our on her younger years.

A cracking start.

8/10.

Restores your faith in storytelling!

Loved this! A fantastic second series, the character development, storytelling and continuation of where we left everyone in series one, gave so much depth and made me root for the characters. Please make series three! Thank you for such a fantastic show :)

Episode 2.1
Prismark102 September 2021
I am not sure if the dramedy Back to Life warranted a second series. Miri's story seemed to have been done by the end of the first series.

Helpfully there was a recap as it's two years since the first series ended.

Miri has fallen out with her mother and her best friend Amy.

Luckily her probation officer Janice has got Miri a trial job at a supermarket.

Set a few weeks later. The series is still going to follow Miri trying to put her life back together. The focus is going to be the parents of murdered Lara.

If there were laughs, they mainly came from Janice.
