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."
