The Way (II) (2024)
5/10
No utopia for this dystopia
23 February 2024
There have been some great Welsh dramas on tv in recent years such as Hinterland, Keeping Faith, Hidden, The Accident and Bang but this isn't a scratch on any of them.

With some of the top actors from Welsh tv in a prime time slot, I thought it would hold much promise but it soon began to lose the plot (or maybe it was just me!).

I am sure some of the incidental music was taken from Tales Of The Unexpected but this was far from what I expected!

It felt a bit like 1984 at times (or maybe that was just due to the reference of the miners strike!) but, like that film, it didn't deliver.

I endured the whole series mainly because I loved Mali Harries in Hinterland, and apart from a underwhelming role in the first series of Keeping Faith, this has been her biggest role since and such a let down.

Disappointingly giving it a generous 5.
