BBC drops second series of 'best drama of the year' as viewers beg for more

BBC has just released the latest instalment of a beloved crime drama, sending fans into a frenzy as they gear up to devour the episodes this week.

The acclaimed Australian crime series, Black Snow, immerses viewers in the heart of Queensland, chronicling Detective James Cormack's gripping investigations. This season, Cormack, portrayed by Vikings luminary Travis Fimmel, tackles a chilling new case, probing the enigmatic disappearance of Zoe Jacobs, who vanished in 2003.

One fan was utterly captivated by the 2023 series and said: "I cared about the characters and wanted to know what happened to them. If you enjoy Shetland, you'll love this.

"The plot is complex, but it hangs together, and the ending (which I did not predict) makes sense and ties up all the loose ends. I thought the acting was excellent, and the dialogue was realistic, particularly the scenes showing the murder victim's interactions with other high school kids prior to the murder. Highly recommended."

As viewers delve deeper into the intricate layers of Cormack's investigation, they also unravel the threads of his own life. This season reveals a personal quest as he covertly investigates the long-standing mystery of his younger brother's disappearance, unseen since 1994, reports Surrey Live.

Fans are thrilled with the mesmerising murder mystery Black Snow, with new episodes causing quite a stir.

One viewer said: "Excellent Murder Mystery! Binge it today! Loved it! ! Travis is awesome!" and the sentiment seems to be sweeping across the fan base as the second series makes its mark.

Another added: "Best TV drama of the year so far. Plotting, characterisation, direction, and cast are all streets ahead of most recent new series. Powerful, beautiful, harrowing, complex and deeply intelligent."

The BBC's Sue Deeks said: "Australia's South Sea Island community is the fascinating setting for this dark and haunting murder mystery - its twists and turns will keep viewers guessing until the very end."

Riding high with reviews, the series spotlight falls not just on star Travis Fimmel but also on his lesser-known co-stars Jemmason Power, Jana McKinnon, and Megan Smart whose performances have notably dazzled audiences.

A Rotten Tomatoes critique reads: "I thought the acting was very good and the dialogue was realistic."

Also, another spectator was captivated by the show's unique allure, writing: "Fimmel is outstanding. The cast is also superb...

"It took me a minute to absorb the vibe of this series and the location and culture, but once I did, it grabbed me."

Eager TV enthusiasts can now feast on the entire buffet of Black Snow episodes, including the tantalising new release, all available on BBC iPlayer.
