Looking for an addictive new crime drama to sink your teeth into this week? The second season of the Paramount+ psychological thriller, The Crow Girl, has finally arrived on our screens – and if season two is half as compelling as the first installment, viewers are in for a treat. 

Based on Erik Axl Sund's bestselling Scandinavian thriller, the gritty series stars Eve Myles as DCI Detective Jeanette Kilburn, who leads a disturbing investigation into the discovery of unidentified dead bodies around Bristol. After enlisting the help of the prime suspect's psychotherapist, Dr. Sophia Craven (Katherine Kelly), Jeanette uncovers a horrifying web of secrets and cover-ups. 

Season two picks up after the cliffhanger ending to season one, which revealed Dr Sophia Craven's true identity, while Jeanette found herself in bed with the psychologist after her marriage ended.

Viewers have hailed the show as a "masterpiece," with many binge-watching all six episodes. 

Taking to social media, one person penned: "Just finished my watching #thecrowgirl series 2. Bloody brilliant!! I do love Eve Myles, she's one of my favourite actresses. Excellent from all cast," while another said they got "goosebumps," adding: "It deserves all the awards."

A third fan penned: "Loved it. Well written & worth waiting for absolutely brilliant," while another added: "Just finished The Crow Girl S2… What a masterpiece of a show. Eve, Katherine, Elliot, Clara, Victoria… just wow. It'll be a long time before I get over it."

In season two, DCI Jeanette Kilburn's hunt for the killers of young male asylum seekers takes a turn when a mummified body discovered in a church wall and a body in a freezer reveal a chilling connection. 

The synopsis continues: "As Jeanette digs deeper, Dr. Sophia Craven begins to suspect Victoria Burkeman, her mysterious and unstable former patient, could be responsible. With the case growing darker, Sophia suspects Victoria is more familiar than she thought, and Jeanette must face the terrifying truth: the killer may be closer than she ever imagined."

Eve Myles (Hijack, Keeping Faith) and Katherine Kelly (Mr Bates vs The Post Office, The Long Shadow) return as Detective Jeanette Kilburn and Dr Sophia Craven, respectively. 

They're joined by Clara Rugaard (Black Mirror, The Rising), Victoria Hamilton (The Crown, COBRA), Richard Lintern (The Crown) as Piers Stirling, Zoe Telford (Silent Witness) as Catherine Stirling and Elliot Edusah (Small Axe) as DC Mike Dilliston.
