    When I reviewed season 1 of "Back to Life" I suggested it was necessary to watch the entire season 1 to appreciate the series. Season 2 wraps up the series very nicely with excellent writing and editing.

    remain as sincere and have such heart and soul considering it's subject matter is a credit to it's writers, Haggard and Solon.
    An improvement of season one, and that's some achievement.

    For this dark comedy to remain as sincere and have such heart and soul considering it's subject matter is a credit to it's writers, Haggard and Solon.

    Full of chuckles but not shying away from the darkness at its centre.

    In most cases, the only thing that these characters can do is reach for a joke as a blade to cut through that haze. “Back to Life” manages to make room for more laughs than that, and its ability to let all of this live side by side helps make it unlike pretty much anything else on TV.

    Everything here is heightened for comedy, and yet it feels real enough to the spirit of small-town life and the awkward encounters and indignities faced, as well as the tiny, beautiful moments snatched in between.
