6.8/10

IMDb

Critics have broadly praised Season 2 as a stronger, darker, and more confident follow-up. Emma Myers draws particular attention for bringing real emotional depth to a Pip dealing with PTSD and the fallout of Season 1's events. Holly Jackson's increased involvement in the writers' room shows — the adaptation is notably more faithful to the source material, and the stakes feel genuinely higher. The main criticisms centre on a compact six-episode run that leaves some supporting characters underserved and certain twists feeling rushed. The consensus, though, is clear: if you liked Season 1, Season 2 is better.

Our Take

Holly Jackson's Good Girl, Bad Blood is a worthy sequel to one of the most compulsively readable YA thrillers in recent memory, and this adaptation does it justice. Pip promised herself she was done investigating after the events of Season 1. She is not done. When Jamie Reynolds goes missing the night before the trial of the man whose crimes she helped expose, she and Ravi are pulled back into Little Kilton's darkest corners. Jackson wrote this season herself alongside Poppy Cogan, and it shows in the faithfulness to the source material and the confidence of the storytelling. All six episodes are on Netflix now. Season 3 has already been confirmed. Start watching.
