Second season of ‘gritty’ crime drama that left viewers ‘hooked’ has finally landed on Netflix
It feels like my 'to watch' list is growing every single day - especially after all of Netflix's latest releases.
We've already been loving the latest Bridgerton season and gripped by many harrowing documentaries, but the most recent addition to the site has gone down a proper treat with armchair critics.
At long last, the second season of the extremely 'gritty' crime drama that left viewers 'hooked' has finally landed on Netflix and, in short, we're all absolutely buzzing.

While it first hit our screens back in 2021, a new hype followed after the show's first season was released on the streamer a few months back (1 May).
And now, all 16 episodes of the RTÉ Irish crime drama television series, including its second season, are available to watch on Netflix as of today (1 July).
The series, which is co-created by Peter McKenna and Ciaran Donnelly, follows a fictional crime family in Dublin who are at odds with a powerful drug gang.
Not only does it also boast a near perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, but it also
has a pretty impressive cast, too, starring Game of Thrones' Aidan Gillen, as well as Clare Dunne, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Fool Me Once's Emmett J. Scanlan and Sam Keeley.
If you hadn't already guessed it, the series is none other than Kin.
Check out the trailer for season two here:
Fans have been quick to share their praise for Kin on social media, with one X user writing: "Kin on Netflix, 10/10. Very very good storyline, good actors has me hooked."
A second penned: "I have woken up thinking about #KIN on @netflix… I started it last night and can’t wait to continue. Absolutely loving it!"
"Kin on Netflix is a good watch highly recommend," gushed a third, while a fourth chimed in: "Anyone seen Kin on Netflix? It’s SO good!
"It’s violent and gritty, well worth watching if you like that sort of thing."
And a final X user urged: " "Begging everyone to watch Kin on BBC iPlayer or now Netflix so we can get a season three."
And they aren't the only ones hoping for more seasons.
Earlier this year, Kin star Scanlan revealed his hopes for more seasons and told LADbible that a third season of Kin is 'very much alive'.
"I know that we had the production company and the production company fell apart and stuff like that," he said. "So it's there for anybody to take, you know.
"I'd love it to be bought by somebody, the BBC, Netflix, anybody really, I'd just love to continue to tell the story and to finish it.
"So unfortunately, I don't have any, any solid views by that - that's not to say that the thing is, it's very much alive.
"And it's very much in people's consciousness and the more people that say, the more people that like it."
Both seasons 1 and 2 of Kin are available to stream on both BBC iPlayer and Netflix.
