With three characters to attend to, it does feel as if the writers’ attention is being stretched too thinly as they try to cover slightly too much ground, from how you deal with an unexpected period in a cell without sanitary towels to the intergenerational effects of abuse and neglect. But, like the first series, it brings attention to a terrible problem and demands a search for answers.

It’s wonderfully cast. Ramsey (The Last of Us, Game of Thrones) and Whittaker (Doctor Who) relish shucking off the roles they are best known for. Lawrance, with the grimmest storyline, brings tinges of Greek tragedy. The men are well sketched but peripheral to the least male drama McGovern has ever written. It’s also thrillingly paced. Perhaps too thrillingly. One of the wonders of the first series was Bean’s lonely stillness. Three leads means three narratives.
