The Canadians strike out on their own in the second of the spin-off monster drama, whose star (with apologies to an entirely adequate cast) is a very long CGI sea serpent. Its habits include coughing up the remains of its lunch coated in viscous goo, eating scientists and hanging out in pipes and drains, which makes the First Nations protestors at an oil tanker facility particularly vulnerable.

A spiky script (“How come there’s never any little dinosaurs?” wonders Toby, speaking for us all) and solid-looking backdrops for the creatures to roam make it all rather easier to get lost in. That goes for Dylan, too, who is finding Evan’s world a bit more tempting than her once-dream job.

About this programme
