Sharon Horgan’s pitch-black comedy is back, plus a gripping new drama about a mother of 10 abducted in Northern Ireland during the Troubles

While season one provided a very satisfactory conclusion to the Garvey sisters’ feud with the monstrous John Paul, the aftermath of a murder can’t easily be shrugged off. So even if it does begin with a blissful Grace remarrying, the second series of Sharon Horgan’s black comedy has plenty to work with. After the body of John Paul’s father is fished out of a lake, the cops are all over his mother’s house and the Garveys have a new antagonist in the shape of Angelica (Fiona Shaw), the sister of Grace’s former neighbour Roger. It’s carried along by the writing, which balances trauma with salty humour, and the glorious performances that perfectly evoke the exasperation of sibling relationships.
