Dark side of the lake: page 6

Family strife: Danny (John Simm) and Emma (Emma Cunliffe) hit hard times in a new series of The Lakes
The Lakes
9.30pm BBC1
The second series of Jimmy McGovern's drama takes up exactly where the first left off, with Danny in a boat flipping a coin to decide his future. After the death of the three girls in the lake and his admission of gambling to his wife, he is feeling worthless. Elsewhere, the grimness continues. The teacher is in the process of splitting up from his adulterous wife and Danny's mother-in-law still clearly harbours feelings for her priest.
Some people may object to the nudity, sex and violence in this extraordinary, unsettling drama, but each incident is carefully placed and is there for very good reason.
