The series takes a sharp turn towards dreary miserablism and away from the cool fashion and music of '86. It all gets to be a bit much after a while (far too many slow motion montages with tinkly piano music and characters looking wistfully into the distance) Still, there are some very strong moments and excellent performances that redeem some of the oppressive gloom.

This Is England '88 is possibly my least favourite of Shane Meadows' three This Is England projects to date. However this still remains an incredibly satisfying and worthy continuation of the events from the '86 series. Vicky McClure boldly takes centre stage once again and to her credit, both series '86 & '88 belong to her. But Joe Gilgun offers impeccably timed comic relief as always and the whole cast is impressive once again. I'm hopeful though that '90 has a greater injection of fun.
