Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - Vigil - Season Two

Vigil has returned for its second season. Without submarines, we are now dealing with drones!

Its another six-part first series, streaming on Binge right now! Starring some faces from season one along with some new season two faces. Suranne Jones, Rose Leslie, Gary Lewis, Dougray Scott, with Romola Garai.

Season two is set in Scotland, along with the fictional Middle Eastern nation Wudyan.

When a prototype Air Force combat drone is compromised and kills several soldiers during a joint demonstration in Scotland, Silva’s team are tasked with finding the perpetrator. She travels to joint Al-Shawka Air Base in the fictional Kingdom of Wudyan, a controversial ally in the Persian Gulf, and discovers a wider conspiracy intertwined with current regime's collaboration with the British government and private enterprise on drone development.

Season two was a mega easy watch. I was surprised how quickly I got back into the UK thriller.


Season one felt a long time ago, which it was back in 2021. However I was late to the Vigil fanbase. 

This felt a lot less closed in after the submarine dramas in season one. A third season is yet to be announced, however I feel the BBC would be stupid not to give this military based series another run.

It has drama, intrigue, its fast paced. While covering some LGBTIQ+ topics.

If you enjoyed Homeland, this is a more modern UK take on the US spy series.

Binge is kicking goals this summer. With Rhys and Joel's fun Xmas special, Strife, Found, The Real Housewives of Sydney's rebooted second season, Aussie thriller in the outback the Royal Hotel and UK rom-com series Smothered.

So if you are not on Binge, get the fuck on it now! This is not a sponsored plug, I honestly can't stand paying the Murdochs, but there is some serious quality content on this streamer!
