Product Description
From the creators of Braquo and the writer of A Prophet comes the incendiary series 2 of Braquo. Rejected by their peers and superiors alike, Eddy and his renegade team suffer the shame and disgrace of going from hunters to the hunted. Caught in the crossfire of a gang war, the road to redemption will be long and difficult, and they can no longer rely on themselves alone to avoid a total fall from grace.

Season 1 was fantastique, so I couldn't wait for Season 2. What a shame to report that it does not match up.
The problem isn't the actors, it's the plot. It's a mess, clichéd and ridden with so many holes I could write for a solid day on them. To reveal them would reveal the plot, so I won't, other than to say that the least of the problems is 'who is looking after Caplin's dog these days!'
Whereas in Season 1 we were given quite a broad scope of the lives of our bunch of sultry heroes, in this season we don't get half as much and so instead have more violence. Characters come and go, bang bang bang, and with some of them go any hopes for the plot sticking to credible and believable gangster and police characters for this season and any others to come. Some established characters go, bang bang bang, with the build up, execution and coverage of both the pre and post events far too sudden. Some of these characters were so key to Season 1 and 2 that there sudden exits made me want to hit pause so that I could give them the due moment of silence and contemplation that they, as characters and actors, deserved.
As for the foundations that have been laid for Season 3, it looks 1970s Bond-villain-esque ridiculous. I won't be partaking. Non!

What a wonderful follow-up to the first season! You just can't stop watching, it's that good. Not for the faint-of-heart, though! For everyone else: please do yourself a favour and buy this series!

Really enjoying series 2 of Braquo after reading some mixed reviews.
Series 1 ended on a cliff hanger and this series follows right where we left the team and just gets better. That means more tension, more violence and more trouble for Caplan. This series features strong acting from all the leads and an exciting ( if somewhat unlikely) storyline which this time benefits from script by the writer of A Prophet and Mesrine.
French drama, both TV and film is just getting stronger and making UK stuff look Like a poor copy.

Very dark
Great series. We enjoyed this black and twisted tale. The last episode was a heart stopped. Can't wait for the second series.

Oh oh!
After having enjoyed Series 1, I expected more of this series. Unfortunately, the central idea that made the first series so enjoyable appears to have run its course. Read more

Puts most British cop series into the shade
Follows on from Series 1 with the same ultra-dramatic, high intensity, adrenaline rush. I particularly liked the Special Forces mirroring Eddy's and his unit's own brand of fierce... Read more
