After the intense brilliance of season one, this was a show which I intended to try and savour and instead found myself ravenously devouring each episode with each more delectable than the last. Phenomenal writing and superb performances converge to tell a story which not only provides a searing commentary on the complexity of family, passion, class, and the pursuit of excellence, but is also profoundly rewarding in the treatment of characters who feel astonishingly real, resulting in a richly poignant experience well worth your time. 9.98/10
