Criminal Record Season 2: Far-Right Terror Threatens London

The second season of the thriller series "Criminal Record" is now streaming on Apple TV, following Detectives June Lenker and Daniel Hegarty as they investigate a far-right extremist group led by populist Cosmo Thompson. The season opens with a violent attack on a migrant demonstration, resulting in the death of a teenager. Thompson runs a live podcast promoting hate speech and conspiracy theories, and the police infiltrate his group with an undercover agent, Billy, a convicted criminal. The plot escalates as Thompson plans a bomb attack somewhere in London. Lenker, played by Cush Jumbo, begins a relationship with colleague John-Paul Brownlee (Luca Pasqualino). The series is directed by Ben A. Williams and Joelle Mae David, known for their calm visual style and detailed dialogue. While the premise echoes earlier shows like "Homeland," the series offers a timely reflection on far-right radicalization.
