Season 2 Review: The new series of Sherwood (BBC1), is exceptional. It is very different to the first but Graham’s talent for understanding the human condition, for depicting the taste and texture of Nottingham — once nicknamed “Shottingham” after a wave of gun and drug crime — and for creating complex, believable characters is every bit as potent as last time.

Season 2 Review: Like the original, it’s stuffed to the gills with brilliant performances. The old guard – Manville, Morrissey, Ashbourne – remain immaculate. And the new introductions, from stalwarts like Harewood, Dolan and Dillane to relative newcomers like Huntingdon – who radiates a mixture of pain, need and dangerous fury that has you watching in horrified anticipation of the moment of combustion – join them seamlessly.

Season 2 Review: Wat made Sherwood so brilliant and painful is still here. .... And perhaps it is more of a standard crime drama than the first series. But what a crime drama – the final minutes of episode two will have your heart leaping out of your chest. Read full review

The Independent Nick Hilton

Season 1 Review: Artfully combining a drama about the long tail of hurt from the colliery closures with a macabre whodunit (and increasingly, as the series progresses, blending the two) is no mean feat. ... Sherwood is altogether merrier than you might expect, with plenty to tuck into. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Sherwood didn’t need a second series, but Graham makes a compelling case for its existence. His intricate plotting of multiple strands is masterful and mirrors the many-rooted complexities of a community that had been manipulated, divided and neglected. New director Clio Barnard (The Arbor), snakes nimbly around the many moving parts – her fabulous tension-building bodes well for the rest of the six–part series. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Sherwood season 2 has all the makings of what is already shaping up to be a stellar anthology series. Not that it necessarily needed it, but new characters, storylines and dynamics breathe new life into the series which is set in the present-day and hones deeper into some of the family rivalries that seek to tear this Nottinghamshire community apart.

Season 1 Review: For some viewers, that pacing will tip over into glacial, and while Sherwood's refusal to commit to a single genre holds water given the multi-stranded nature of the narrative, it does feel disjointed in places. ... But there's much to praise. The performances are solid. Read full review

I think overall the show was good, with well thought out and complex charecters, awesome cinemaphotography and great capture of tense atmosphere. That being said, there were a few pointless boring plotlines, i think one character was written particularly lazily written and i think the seriesI think overall the show was good, with well thought out and complex charecters, awesome cinemaphotography and great capture of tense atmosphere. That being said, there were a few pointless boring plotlines, i think one character was written particularly lazily written and i think the series should have shown certain segments in a different order, which would have made the series as a whole much more compelling. I still thought it was good though with a mostly satisyfing conclusion and would reccomend it.… Expand
