So determined to make things right, Boyd tears up the rule book, and decides to pursue Gemma's attackers no matter what.
I don't think this was as good as the first episode, Part one was a great character story, we had Gemma, her family, and the attackers, and their families, their quirks and strange dynamics. This second part chose not to further explore those, but to focus solely on Gemma's thirst for revenge.
Reality all but vanishes here, and Gemma, desperate though she is, is pushed to extreme limits, and commits a few acts, I thought were stretching the imagination a little.
The conclusion was definitely very grim, quite violent, and actually pretty sickening. I can't fault those involved, Dockery was particularly good, as was Rory Kinnear.
It felt as though several bits of the story were chopped away, and not explored, there were two partners in that crime, this only focused on the one. A few plot holes too.
Overall, pretty good, 6/10.
