“Time ss 2”: release date, announcement
A sequel to the three-part TV drama “Time” is not expected as Season 1 tells the story of the protagonists in full.
The creators, inspired by the idea of showing viewers life behind prison bars, decided to release a small TV show rather than a full-length film. Recently, this format has become popular.
Plot
The first days in captivity were terrible for Mark Cobden. Bernard, a cellmate, frightened him with scary stories about how he killed his father, and later even staged a massacre, as it helped him cope with panic attacks. Mark had to call the guards, who forced Bernard to order and put him out the door of the prison cell.
The rest of the prisoners found it difficult to get along with each other, and later this began to apply to Mark. Food was taken away from him, he was not allowed to communicate on the phone, and his requests were dismissive. And then Cobden realized: he urgently needed to take control of his own life, otherwise the new laws of his life would finally bring him to his knees. The time has come for decisive action.
The wife did not want to have anything to do with Mark and did not allow him to communicate with Tom, their son. But the boy himself found a way out to his father. Arriving at his grandparents, Tom called and made an appointment with Mark. This gave his father a powerful impetus to deal with the difficulties of imprisonment. At this time, overseer Eric McNally becomes hostage to the situation created for him by the imprisoned criminal.
Threatening reprisal for Daniel, the son of Eric, the prisoner wanted to force the overseer to help people like him. Trying to cope with the situation, Eric transfers his son to another prison, but this has long been known. Daniel has a hard time, because even inmates have their connections in different prisons. Eric succumbs to despair more and more, because it becomes impossible to help his son.
Eric and Mark have such different fates, but they still remain good people. Circumstances force them to be stronger, but natural humanity prevails whenever possible. Soon they begin to communicate and find in each other a solution to their problems. This helps them psychologically, and with renewed vigor to take on the tasks.
But how will their stories end? Too many people are complicit in their troubles. Mark still sees the murdered guy in front of his eyes and cannot cope with the feeling of guilt. And Eric receives new threats against his son. Will their suffering end?
