The second series of Dinosaur picks up on the Isle of Wight, a mere seven-hour drive from Glasgow, where its protagonist Nina found herself eight months prior to the start of the show. However, despite discovering several significant fossils during her time in the field and befriending an American man named Clayton, who has taken a liking for Scotland's "laddie," Nina is now experiencing a severe case of homesickness.
It appears that she misses various aspects of her life back home in Glasgow, including watching TV with her sister Evie, sharing takeaway Tuesdays, and enjoying walks around the city. All these feelings are heightened when Nina receives news that she has been offered an additional year at the museum where she works.
The story then takes a turn as Nina decides to stay on but is asked to relocate to Knutsford for another year. The journey from the Isle of Wight begins, culminating in a dramatic return to Glasgow, only to discover that Lee does not show up. However, back home, life has taken quite an unexpected turn.
Nina's workspace at the museum and her local sandwich shop have been revamped, reflecting changes in society such as shifting attitudes toward female presence in history, social norms of personal space, and even a ban on hot tuna due to its alleged dislike by locals.
One thing that stands out about this series is the way it tackles themes surrounding identity and how these are intertwined with comedy. Dinosaur presents an entertaining narrative filled with humor at various levels, including witty dialogue between characters like Nina's sister Evie and her boyfriend Ranesh.
The show also delves into social issues in a light-hearted yet impactful manner, showcasing Glasgow as a city that is full of personality and flair. While it does not shy away from discussing more serious topics, Dinosaur ultimately delivers an experience that feels both enjoyable and authentic. For those familiar with this setting or have personal ties to the subject matter, the experience will likely be heartwarming and endearing.

. it's like they're not afraid to poke fun at themselves while still getting real about what's going on in the world 
. and can we talk about nina's fam? her sister evie & boyfriend ranesh are literally the cutest 
. i also love how glasgow is portrayed - it feels so authentic & relatable 
. and yes pls, hot tuna should be banned lol 
. overall, dino series is just a fun ride that will make u laugh, cry, & feel all the feels 
She's literally struggling with homesickness but at the same time she's got a new challenge ahead of her - relocating to Knutsford 
. I love how the show is tackling real life issues like shifting attitudes toward female presence in history and social norms, but also does it in a way that's not too preachy or heavy-handed 
it's a whopping 25% increase since last year, with most visitors coming from the US! 
but seriously though, the show's portrayal of society is so spot on - did u know that 75% of museums in the UK are now offering free entry to women for at least one month each year? 
it's all about promoting female presence in history and stuff! 
meanwhile, back in glasgow, the city's sandwich shop scene is booming - stats show a 30% increase in vegan/vegetarian options over the past year alone! 
and let's not forget the ban on hot tuna... who knew it was such a thing? 
! i love how the show tackles real issues like identity and social changes in a way that's both funny and heartfelt 
. the way it portrays the city as a character in itself is everything, it feels so real 
. and can we talk about how much i love Nina's growth throughout the series? she starts off feeling homesick but ends up finding her place, it's like the perfect self-care story 
.
. And I love how they're making these changes to the setting, like the museum and sandwich shop, it feels so real! I'm also loving the humor in it, especially with Evie and Ranesh, they're always good for a laugh 
.
+ it shows glasgow in all its glory, lol the changes to the museum & sandwich shop are hilarious & the dialogue btw evie & ranesh has me dyin 
. It's like, this amazing blend of personality and flair. And I think that's what's going to make fans go wild! 
especially the ban on hot tuna 
. And don't even get me started on the idea that society is changing and we need to learn about it through a fictional story 
. Can't we just watch the news for once instead of being spoon-fed our issues via TV?
