I was a little dubious about the direction that Episode 2 would take, especially given some of the negative comments following my fairly positive review of the first installment of the BBC’s new Triffids mini-series. Part 1 was certainly entertaining, with nifty special effects and a good old end of the world scenario that felt quite agreeable to me. A real lack of chemistry between lead actors Dougray Scott and Joely Richardson, coupled with a way over-the-top performance from villain Eddie Izzard, kept me from embracing this as a truly respectable adaptation of the novel. My concern for the follow-up was that these problems would remain in place, while the gaps in logic, moody atmosphere and wild differentiation from the source material would prevail for another 90 minutes, and oh boy how they did.
