However, audience members were less than thrilled as season two rolled out tonight, flocking to X (formerly ) to vent their annoyance at the three-year wait. Many said that they found it tricky to recall characters and prior events.

One viewer lamented, "So long for S2 to come out, I've forgotten who's who from the 1st season," while another said: "Given up, going to check out millionaire instead," reports .

A third fan complained, "Who the hell is this baker? I can't remember a damn thing," and a fourth shared their frustration: "It's been two years since the first season. How is anyone expected to remember anything? I've literally lost the plot. Disconnected, no longer invested. Too long between seasons."

Despite some disgruntled voices, certain fans expressed positivity, with one expressing, "Nice to have #TenPoundPoms back. I enjoyed the first series, and it's a good start to this one."

"I have missed this show, so good to have it back!! The cast are incredibly talented," another fan gushed, while a third chimed in: "Great Sunday night viewing."

In the gripping new series, Michelle Keegan returns as the determined nurse Kate Thorne, who embarks on a journey to Australia to find her son, Michael.

The latest instalment had audiences glued to their seats as Kate and Michael desperately tried to avoid capture following Kate's bold move to snatch him from his adoptive family.

The tension heightened when a heartbroken Kate grappled with Michael's yearning for his adoptive parents. Struggling with her actions, Kate sought solace and advice from her friend Annie, played by Faye Marsay.

"I can see by the look in your face, I know it's madness. But what would you have done, Annie? He's my boy. He's mine, I brought him into this , he belongs to me," Kate said.

"I thought that if I could get to New Zealand, maybe I could find a way to get us back to the UK. I wanna be the one taking him to school, putting him to bed, but it's impossible because even if I could, he misses her."

Despite forming a tentative pact with Fran, Michael's adoptive mum, Kate's plans shockingly unravelled, as Fran had tipped off the police - culminating in Kate's arrest for kidnapping in a jaw-dropping finale.
