Controversial Ending Sparks Heated Debate
The series depicts life in a gritty prison.
Fans of the hit Channel 4 show, Screw, were left with mixed feelings after the highly-anticipated season 2 finale aired this week. The drama, created by Bafta-nominated screenwriter Rob Williams, delves into the world of wardens and inmates in a fictional jail called Long Marsh prison.
Inspired by Real-Life Experience
Although Screw is not based on a true story, it draws inspiration from Rob Williams' own experiences working and volunteering in prisons. The series tackles various aspects of prison life, from the care-to-prison pathway to romantic relationships behind bars.
Lively Debate on Social Media
The reaction to the season 2 finale was immediate, with fans taking to social media to share their thoughts. One viewer expressed disappointment, calling the ending "politicized" and suggesting a resemblance to Suella Braverman, a prominent political figure. Others echoed this sentiment, labeling the resolution "clumsy."
However, not all viewers were dissatisfied. Many are clamoring for a season 3, eager to see how the plot will progress and the characters develop. One fan simply tweeted, "NEEEEEEED A SEASON 3 of Screw on Channel 4 please."
Behind the Scenes in Scotland
Most of the filming took place in Glasgow, Scotland.
While the fictional Long Marsh prison may be located anywhere, the actual filming of Screw took place in Scotland. Rob Williams revealed that the drama was predominantly shot in Glasgow. This backdrop adds to the authenticity and grittiness of the series.
A Shift in Tone
As the second season unfolded, viewers noticed a shift in the show's tone. Rob Williams explained that while there is still humor present, it has taken a back seat compared to the first season. The focus now lies on the ongoing storylines and exploring different aspects of prison life.
With opinions sharply divided, it remains to be seen whether Screw will return for a third season. Fans will have to wait in anticipation for any official announcements from Channel 4.
