Back to Life Season 2: Showtime's Small and Shining Gem Requires Your Attention

is charming and wryly funny, a “soulful treasure.” The show shares that with Sundance TV’s excellent, which followed a similar storyline of a man coming out of solitary confinement after 19 years. Butis also very British in its sensibilities, and plays more for awkward laughs that help cut some of the most emotionally tense moments.

The first season’s six episodes took place in the weeks just after Miri’s release, and Season 2 picks up almost exactly where it left off. Important truths have been revealed regarding that fateful night, but the show focuses in more on Miri trying to move forward. And as we see, moving forward mostly means reverting back to her past self. Her life effectively stopped in 2000 when she was sent to prison, and so as Miri becomes more comfortable at home she returns to being a sulky teen.

I’ve gotten this far without mentioning a plot, because there really isn’t one. There are stakes that create a dark undercurrent throughout these six new episodes that revolve around Laura’s parents returning to town, but many of those elements feel half-baked or sensational compared to the rest of the season. It mostly leads to a satisfying conclusion, although that’s not entirely so for Christine Bottomley’s Mandy, who doesn’t get as much time as she deserves.

What really propels the series is simply a desire to see Miri navigate this “new” world and thrive. The show isn’t interested in her interacting with modern technology or understanding how the last two decades have shaped politics or global conflict. It’s very much focused on Miri simply allowing herself to be free, and learning what it means to. It’s not made up of big, triumphant moments and crowds of cheering townsfolk.
