Acorn TV's Outrageous British Police Procedural Returns NO OFFENCE, Series 2 DVD Debut

Acorn TV features the DVD debut of the outrageous police procedural NO OFFENCE, Series 2 on November 20, 2018. The female-driven police procedural follows an unorthodox team of cops in Manchester. From 9-time BAFTA Award nominated writer Paul Abbott (Shameless, State of Play, Cracker) comes an "exhilarating, ballsy, and...filthily funny" (The Independent) police comedy-drama with fierce female characters and a shrewd, irreverent take on crime. The critically-acclaimed dramedy stars Joanna Scanlan (Requiem, The Thick of It, Notes on a Scandal) and Irish Film & TV Academy Lead Drama Actress nominee Elaine Cassidy (Acceptable Risk, The Paradise, The Others). The DVD 2-Disc Set features 7 episodes ($49.99, Amazon.com). No Offence, Series 2 made its U.S. premiere in August 2018 on Acorn TV. Called a "glorious streaming service... an essential must-have" (The Hollywood Reporter), Acorn TV is North America's most popular streaming service focused on British and international television from RLJ Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: RLJE).

In Series 2, vivacious DI Vivienne Deering (Scanlan) returns to work from bereavement leave after her husband's death, but only Viv's impulsive subordinate, DC Dinah Kowalska (Cassidy), knows the brutal truth of what really happened to him. Then in her first week back, a bomb blast at a funeral plunges Deering and her team headfirst into a gang war inflamed by a crime family matriarch (Rakie Ayola, Sahara) who is just as ferocious as Deering herself.

With black humor and strong female characters, critics rave that "few cop shows extract this much entertainment" (The Daily Telegraph). No Offence also stars Alexandra Roach (Iron Lady, Anna Karenina), Will Mellor (Broadchurch), Paul Ritter (Vera), Sarah Solemani (Bridget Jones's Baby), and Felix Scott (Doc Martin).
