Wrenching and raw, this three-part drama is Time well spent, if you can bear to watch. [1 - 21 Apr 2024, p.5]

Once again, Time does a good job of showing inmates as humans, and how their lives suffer on the inside as they deal with real-life problems happening on the outside.

I have watched all three episodes and at times it is so profoundly bleak it has shades of Cathy Come Home. It gets stronger and more moving with every episode. And just like its predecessor, it leaves you hoping and praying that you never end up in prison.

Once again McGovern, alongside Black, has delivered a brilliant piece of television that wholly deserves your time.

Screenwriter McGovern’s drama might be too conventional, too predictable, for real excellence. But this portrait of women on the edge, battling systems outside of their control, is tight, tense, and compassionate. Time, ultimately, is on their side.

McGovern has crafted another eye-opening foray into the reality of prison and its ramifications in the outside world.

With three characters to attend to, it does feel as if the writers’ attention is being stretched too thinly as they try to cover slightly too much ground, from how you deal with an unexpected period in a cell without sanitary towels to the intergenerational effects of abuse and neglect. But, like the first series, it brings attention to a terrible problem and demands a search for answers.
