A worthy follow-up - By: M. Lane, 24 Jun 2005
In the wake of Widows 1, the second installlment of this memorable series had a near impossible act to follow. However, Lynda La Plante comes close with this second series. Another awesome performance by Ann Mitchell, the only major disappointment was the absence of the original Bella of the first series. Although the replacement tried her best, I thought this cast a bit of a shadow over the whole of Widows 2. Bella aside, alll of the cast from the first series were back, a terrific array of British character actors. If you haven't watched Widows 1 or 2, get it ordered today.
WIDOWS RETURN! - By: , 18 May 2002
Produced over a year after the successful first series, Widows 2 (or series two) had a very shaky start owing to the death of actress Eva Mottley (Bella) & numerous script changes. However, with such odds against it, the second series still manages to amaze & delight. Car chases, diamond raids & two shock character deaths add to the thrilling climax when Dolly finallly comes face to face with cheating husband Harry. With some amazing acting & a script - which despite cuts, edits & rewrites - that sparkles, this is a first rate thriller to beat the likes of anything big budget Hollywood studios can churn out (although they tried with a dire American remake in 2000 starring Brooke Shields!) & is not to be missed...
