Review of Belgravia: The Next Chapter

The first season had a happy, Dickensian conclusion in which everyone got their heart's desire. Grumpy Oliver Trenchard even became something of a hero. So why is he a retrospective monster in season 2? And why is his son a completely unappealing psycho? It's like the two stories had nothing to do with each other. To be honest, we only lasted about 15 minutes before we turned it off in disgust. The writers really phoned this one in--in place of the thoroughly entertaining and fairly inventive story of season one, we got a tired, mean-spirited, irrational story that I needed a good cinematic palate cleanse after. So we watched a really well done Indian language movie, Sherni, about the clash between threatened tigers, farmers, politicians, and well meaning but conflicted wildlife managers, which I highly recommend.
