This was inevitable… 🙂

The highly-anticipated season 2 of the acclaimed series began airing on BBC in the UK this week (June 14th), and isn’t scheduled to reach North American shores until October, many months away. But thanks to the magic of the Internet, and a few sheisty Brits who just don’t give a f*ck, the fresh new episodes have surfaced online for anyone with a broadband Internet connection to watch, regardless of what country you live in.

Well, actually it’s just 1 episode thus far – season 2, episode 1. And, if the fanboy/fangirl chatter on the web is any indication, it was quite the wallop.

Now you can watch it and judge for yourselves, as I’ve embedded episode 1 below. I haven’t watched it yet; but I plan to.

Enjoy… probably won’t last long. You might have some difficulty playing it back; if so, click HERE:
