A pretty good episode.
Sleepin_Dragon1 October 2023
Miri has a new job lined up, but having been inside for so long, she doesn't have a bank account, and faces losing her job. Miri has an awkward encounter with Billy, and an even more awkward meeting with Dom.

Good old fashioned black humour, Series 2 of Back to life isn't perhaps as cutting or funny as the first, so far that is, but if definitely has a sense of intrigue and mystery, I am keen to know what fate awaits Miri, and what exactly John has in store.

Service in the bank, that's about right for that particular establishment, I'm only surprised there weren't about 37 people in the queue.

A few good moments, not as sharp as is usually the case.

6/10.

Episode 2.2

Miri has a job but opening a bank account is not so easy.

She needs to have an email address for both her job and open a new bank account.

The bank assistant cannot find Miri's record of her children account.

She is being stalked by an ex boyfriend, a bitter policewoman and the father of the murdered woman.

On top of all that she has discovered internet sex, shaved women and people keep all sorts of sex toys in their drawers.

I thought the humour is rather up and down. Not all of it worked. I guess the term is bittersweet but it lacks conistency.

Adrian Edmondson really brings a darkness as the still bereaved father.
