Finally their financial conditions will get better after Steve receives a new contract with an important business man. But things turn badly when the client is told a lie that makes him take the work off Steve. New comedy and dramatic stories come up in the second season of Bad Move.
In this first episode of the new series it felt more comfortable in its skin. The humour seemed less forced and, with the characters bedded in, easier to watch.
Most of these short scenes of struggle culminate in a vaguely negative putdown from Dee, a shrug or a sigh, and a cut. It's cynical comedy by numbers - and Dee is phoning it in.
Though it never quite takes flight, somehow - Dee and his co-star Kerry Godliman have zero chemistry - I still cleave to it, as some kind of semi-antidote to various smug sods of my acquaintance who are always telling me how filthy London is.
