Ciudad tóxica

I loved this show and wish it was a bit longer. It's sad to know this is a reality in our world and why are health as a whole is on a rise in multiple areas. From deformities, to autism, to many other health issues. I'm not a big fan of most of it regardless if you use safety or not. To many horror stories and waters still poisoned in states for decades. It's even worse that companies cut corners putting profit before health and safety. Its embarrassing and needs more money put into the research of the harm it all causes. I'm glad the mothers were able to win and it makes me happy to hear. Id like to look into all the true facts of this story.

Watched on Netflix 4-4-2025.

Wow, just wow.

A good adaptation of a true story.

Very well written and excellent acting.

I absolutely loved how true the programme makers were to keeping it in the 1990s. Decor, accessories, clothes, cars.... every thing was so well represented.

The story, I am not from up north and was not at an age to remember it in the press, so thoroughly enjoyed the telling of the case and journey all the characters took.

Given the corruption and politics, it was handled well, it was not too top heavy on politics which can bog down a series. More about the feelings and the people.

Really worthy of the time.

KT.

Where to start, wow, I couldn't stop watching, the cast that was put together was perfect, most of the accents close enough to spot on, this is a real injustice true story that rocked the town, but the accuracy of the story telling and the whole sense of the characters and feelings was brought to life on screen perfectly.

Hopefully this is point in history that is taken onboard so this or anything similar never happens again.

Although the likeness of the main characters are not similar I thought the mannerisms for the McIntyre family was spot on, I know this as I live in the area the show is based.

This is a must watch. 10/10.

Loved this. Love women.

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this case. I just saw the photo of Sarah, Tracey and Maggie alongside the actors who played them-beautiful. It's evident that the whole project was approached with a lot of care from everyone involved, all while keeping it engaging and entertaining. A wonderful piece of work with a clear message and beautiful portrayal of community. The final episode was very powerful, and there were even a few funny moments that seemed organic and not out of place-quite rare for these types of shows in my opinion.

Amazing performances from the cast, especially Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood (I loved Tracey), Robert Carlyle.... But honestly, everyone was so good.

I had a slight issue with the huge time jumps between each episode but I understand it's based on a true story so not much could be done about that. It's more so a compliment than a criticism-I wanted to know more about the characters! But I do appreciate that it wasn't dragged out-four episodes is perfect.

Also loved the title design (with the letters turning to dust)!

Well done docudrama told in 4 crisp episodes. Corby, a town like many others, is affected by corporations in collusion with local councils destroying their town and lives with their toxic poisons. And rarely brought to account by most.

When the women of the town band together after they realize their babies, conceived around the same time, have similar birth defects they wake up to the possibility that some substance has affected their fetuses. And they hire a lawyer to get justice.

Jodie Whittaker gives a brilliant as the main activist along with a great supporting cast including Brendan Coyle as the corrupt councillor. Aimee Lou Wood is heartbreaking as the bereft mother. And Roy Kinnear is stellar as the compassionate solicitor.

Just the right length at 4 tight episodes.

9/10 Netflix.
