Series 2 of Vexed brings together DI Jack Armstrong with a new partner, bright fast-tracker Georgina Dixon for six fresh cases.
These two couldn’t be more different to each other and the sparks immediately start to fly as Jack gets increasingly wound up by Georgina’s determination to solve the crimes as quickly as possible and Georgina becomes exasperated by his casual attitude.

What the press said:
"No Lucy Punch in the second series of this comedy detective drama. Instead, we have Miranda Spooks Raison's ambitious Georgina Dixon alongside Toby Stephens as laid-back DI Jack Armstrong. She ruffles his feathers as she tries to beat him solving their first case together. More sparks to come, we think."
"Without using lazy televisual clichés, the Vexed chemistry is more familiar here; as opposed to eccentric (though wonderfully so in the first series), we're presented with a Moonlighting-esque battle of equals."
"The leads, Toby Stephens and newcomer to the show Miranda Raison, have breezy chemistry - more important here than convoluted plotting."
