A Confession

Only watched 3 episodes so far. Suspenseful. Enjoyable. I don't know the real story, which is good. No spoilers. Normally, I hate any shows or movies that use hand-held cameras. In this case the show was so good I hadn't even realized that hand-held were used until I read the horde of crabby reviews that all focussed on that. Can't wait to binge watch the last 3 episodes.

I can't understand all the pedantic reviews about camerawork,this is a great drama spoilt only because it's shown on itv interrupting the flow of the story,also I think Martin freeman is a great actor in everything he has played.the trouble with this is it's spread over so many weeks I will download the remaining episodes and binge.Once again cannot understand the negative reviews.

I agree that the idiot who came up with shaky camera work should be drummed out of film and I thought it had gone the way of the dodo but the negative reviews here are overdoing it.

There is some very good, understated, acting here. I also suspect some of the styling is intended to reflect the era.

It's also a long time since I've seen a film with the trailer "This is a true story" as opposed to the fatuous "Based on true events". I recall the story and this appears fairly accurate.

I agree, it's not as well made as it could be, but it's a lot better than some of the reviews here make out.

For all of you who want to watch filmmaking at its best, this is compulsory. Great performances and amazing directing by one of the best directors of his generation. Bravo!!

This is superb television drama. Don't know what the reviews talking about the camera motion are talking about-didn't notice a problem. Martin Freeman performance was outstanding as I expected and Imelda Staunton's performance as the untiring mother of the victim was truly award winning in every way. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and highly recommend it.
