The second series of a hit TV drama that was partly filmed in Weymouth has received mixed reviews.

Bad Sisters season two features scenes that were filmed on a yacht in Weymouth harbour.

Earlier this year Bono's daughter Eve Hewson, who starred in Netflix's hit whodunnit series The Perfect Couple, and Eva Birthistle and Sarah Greene were seen in the Dorset town taking off from a boat in the harbour.

The second series of the Apple TV+ dark comedy was released on Wednesday to mixed reviews from critics. It follows on from the much-lauded first series of the show.

The New York Times said: "Season 2 of Bad Sisters is still thrilling and stylish" while the Radio Times calls the follow-up series 'hilarious and heart-breaking with every breath, it'll rip your heart right out."

But The Guardian reports in its two star review: "Any trace of joy in season 2 has been obliterated." 

It concludes: "The evocative portrayal of sisterhood, the impressive cast and the occasional razor-sharp gag mean it’s hard to condemn this as an unequivocally bad show – but it’s certainly no longer a particularly good one."

NME gives the series a three star review, reporting: "Though still darkly funny and packed with one-liners, the tone this time around is bleaker and less manic than what’s come before."

Bad Sisters series one and two are available to watch on Apple TV+.
