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.
