The Lakes returns for a 2nd series of 10 episodes and is as savage as ever, but still shot through with dry, cutting and sometimes surreal humour. Following on from the tragic death of three of the village’s children, and with personal relationships and alliances growing ever more tangled, the second series revisits a community driven by guilt, suspicion and grief, and besieged by emotional, sexual and domestic tensions. For Danny (John Simm), the battle is to control his gambling and to provide for his wife, and young baby, whilst enduring the claustrophobic hostility of the Quinlan family home. As seen on ABC TV.
