Lorna tries to discover what Aoife knew, and what she was trying to learn. The women who were members of The Laundry go in search of justice, and share their painful memories under the cruel regime of the nuns.

First off, I'm not religious, so I say this as someone impartial, but once again they're having a field day knocking the Catholic church, it's pretty much open season where they're concerned, I'm not sure you could imagine The BBC doing it with different faiths could you?

It's an obscene story, the cruelty that must have gone in, shocking.

I don't think I'd say this was as good as the first episode, that had me captivated, this was good, just a little slow, and a little hard to follow at times. I enjoyed the story, and I definitely enjoyed the touches of humour throughout this one.

Daryl McCormack is a fine actor, I recently saw him in The Lesson, alongside Richard E Grant, if you get a chance, watch it, excellent movie.

Great to see Frances Tomelty, what a wonderful actress she's been throughout her career.

6/10.

Lorna Brady has hid the body of a dead woman behind her walls but she has no idea who she is. Lorna wants to track down her identity with the help of her mobile phone.

It leads her to man called Dara, his wife is missing.

Only her path crosses with Detective Akande. He is in town trying to look for CCTV footage of who might have burned Father Sheehan's car.

Only Lorna destroy the computer as she knows she might be incriminated.

A slightly better episode than the first. It is still all over the place and moves moodily.

We get learn a little more about Akande, he was adopted. So he was born in the Magdalene laundry.

He also interviews one of the nun's who operated these places for fallen women. At least it was an attempt to get the Catholic Church's side of the story. Even though for all intents and purposes, these were workhouses.
