Time is a drama series made by BBC, in season 2 beautiful actress Jodie Whittaker plays Orla O'Riordan, a mother who was convicted and sent to jail, the show can really be way better than it turned out to be, it's just the pace is too fast that you barely can engage and feel the situation the prisoners are facing especially Orla O'Riordan, the pace is too fast in some key moments that should be tense and hard on the audience, making it hard to engage and sympathize with her in such situation, like her being in prison for example, it went too fast and too easy, as if she went into vacation, you don't fear for her being in prison and want her to be saved, prison for her was like spending a weekend and taking rest from work and the kids lol, like it only lasted one episode and then she went out like that as if she was visiting some friends.
After Orla went out of prison, in the second episode, like in the first minute, she supposedly worked in a bar, and after working for sometimes the owner put a camera because he suspected that she was stealing him and faced her about her stealing, all of that happens in the first minute of the episode that lasted 60 minutes which make it so underwhelming, like at least give it its own episode, so we can feel how she enjoyed freedom and how it's being taken back from her to sympathize with the character, and how happy she was once she got out of prison to go back to her family, like nothing, they just put her in trouble once she went out.
The fast pace of very tense situations is really water down very hard and dangerous situations, like Orla had to cut herself so she could talk to the warden, or when Abi Cochrane played by Tamara Lawrance was attacked by another inmate accusing her of being a snitch, it went too fast,
Kelsey played by actress Bella Ramsey is absolutely my favorite among the three main characters in the show, in case of you don't know who Bella Ramsey is, she's Lyanna Mormont from Game of thrones, she's a very talented actress, also the character isn't as complicated as the other two main characters, so Kelsey can be handled in three episode show, and the show would be so much better if Kelsey was the main focus, but having the main focus on three characters with so many events, and so little time is unfair to the three of them.
As for the absolute favorite character of the entire show, isn't actually one of the main characters, and if it was up to me I would absolutely make her the one to start the show and it's this one who I don't know the name of the character or the actress.
In this scene she meets one of the main characters in the show telling her that she was told to hurt her by some people she owed money to, and she try to start a fight for her, but she's not a fighter, she just got involved in shity situation that led her up to this.
Imagine if this was the one who introduce us to the prison, someone who explore the harsh world of prisons, who don't know what to do, and see the main character who have infamous reputation in the prison for being imprisoned for murder, and the scare in her face make fighting her seems as a suicide, yet under pressure she do it anyway, later you can use such character for a better understanding of the main character of the show, make the audience experience the prison at the same time this woman explores that, I find this more entertaining and more intersting than being introduced to the prison by Orla O'Riordan, who seems to know it all..
These two characters are also the most I enjoyed watching in the show.

The show would've been so much better if it actually had more time, instead it was trapped by the previous season with only 3 episode, which is so unfair, as it have so many good actresses and so many potentials, Like I didn't sympathize with the main character until towards the end of episode 2, which is like 2/3 of the show run time, which is really bad..
