ITV’s gripping drama ‘Innocent’ returned tonight for a second series, which is airing over four consecutive nights.
If you want to avoid spoilers for ‘Innocent’, stop reading now.
The series opened with former teacher Sally Wright (Katherine Kelly) being found ‘not guilty’ after serving five years for the murder of her student Matthew Taylor. The verdict wasn’t greeted well by Matthew’s parents and Sally’s reputation was tarnished by her time in jail and the rumours that she’d slept with her student.
As Sally moved in with a friend, she vowed to get her life back together but discovered that her ex-husband Sam (Jamie Bamber) was planning to marry someone else.
Sally’s release meant the police had to investigate the murder again and DCI Mike Braithwaite (Shaun Dooley) headed up a new team. He asked Sally to work with him, which she agreed to do, and it wasn’t long before he was picking holes in witness statements and forming a new theory about what led to Matthew’s death.
