After a long two-year hiatus, the beloved BBC show Sherwood has finally returned. However, instead of being met with open arms, it has unfortunately faced some criticism from fans. The show, which stars David Morrissey as Ian St. Clair and Terence Maynard as Sergeant Cleaver, is back for its second season. In the first season, the show was based on the real-life crossbow murders that occurred in creator James Graham's hometown of Annesley Woodhouse in Nottinghamshire back in 2004. This time around, the storyline focuses on the "shotting" days in Nottingham, a time when the city was plagued by shootings and organized crime that resulted in the deaths of innocent people.
While the new season is expected to be emotionally heavy, there is one particular element that has caught fans' attention - a new character. British actress Ria Zmitrowicz, known for her roles in Three Girls and The Power, joins the cast as the newly appointed Sheriff of Nottingham. Her character quickly makes friends and enemies due to her opposition to the town's controversial proposed mining project.
In the first episode of the new season, we see the proposed coal mine being portrayed as a source of much-needed jobs and prosperity for the community. However, it also brings up difficult reminders of the legacy that has plagued the town for so long. As the season unfolds, we will see how this storyline plays out over the next five episodes.
But it's not just the new character that has caught fans' attention. After the first episode aired, many took to social media to express their confusion over the characters' accents. Some felt that the Nottingham accent was being overdone, while others found it distracting. However, there were just as many fans who loved the first episode and praised its writing, performances, and production.
Show creator James Graham recently spoke about the real-life stories and inspiration behind the second season of Sherwood. He revealed that the show is based on his personal experiences and the people he knew in the community where he grew up. He wanted to protect them and not put them through the trauma of reliving their past for the sake of art. However, he also recognized the value of exploring these difficult topics through drama and wanted to approach it with empathy and kindness.
The second season of Sherwood airs on Sundays and Mondays on BBC One, spread out over three weeks. Fans can expect to see more gripping storylines and powerful performances as the show continues to delve into the dark and complex world of Nottingham's history.
