    This series promised me something I’d never have begun to imagine, or something like that when in fact it was exactly what I what I did imagine.

  • Where is Episode 2???

    I’m enjoying this series, although the episodes are very short. But why were episodes 3 and 4 released while 2 remains Subscribers Only? ?? I may not continue

  • Season 2 and 3 a disappointment

    I enjoyed Series 1 and have gotten up to the end of Series 3. I really hope the last two seasons were a blip. The episodes are short and engaging but the fact that they have been limited to 6 episodes means the series can feel rushed when earlier it felt like there was a lot of filler. I really didn’t enjoy the lack of any meaningful closure in series 2 and 3. It feels quite poor that the BBC allow an investigation to go up to a certain point and then suddenly it stops.

  • Avoid series 9

    Very over produced with an indulgent host who’s very hammy in her delivery. No real compassion for the victim and family.
