BBC1’s legal drama The Split is back for another round, but fans weren’t entirely convinced...
The Split has had viewers divided from the start, with its first series being criticised for its twists and legal inaccuracies. Some fans weren’t sure about the series finale especially, which saw many complicated relationships wrapped up.
Series 2 of the BBC1 legal drama follows Hannah (Nicola Walker) and Nathan (Stephen Mangan) now their marriage seems to be back on track. But Hannah is continuing her affair with Christie (Barry Atsma).
Many weren't impressed by the opening episode.
One viewer wrote, “I’m afraid I don’t care about any of the characters. I tried in the first series, and have tried again for the first 30 minutes of the second #TheSplit”
Another added, “#thesplit This really isn't for me I tried with series 1 and now again tonight. Nothing about this world speaks to me.”
On top of this, some felt disappointed by the story itself, with one viewer saying, “#TheSplit Do love the show, but it really a lot of people in rooms having meetings and not a lot happens More style over substance. Series 3?”
