I Fought the Law

I watched this show with my gran and grandad, who knew Ann from a group they were in to fight for justice for their children who had been murdered my gran and grandad lost their son through murder aswell and met Ann through one of the group meetings. Watching this show sent tears to our eyes especially since it happened so close to home. This show is so inspirational on so many levels, the fact Ann fought to change a law over 800 years old is truly powerful. I think Sheridan portrayed her beautifully and she should be very proud of herself. It's the best true crime series I've ever watched and it sent chills up my spine watching it, it's very emotional but nothing is shown that is too gory, however the tragedy Ann faced is enough to make your skin crawl no one should ever have to go through this. My gran was in tears, especially considering her son had been murdered aswell and the grief and anger stays with you forever. However, I think this series was portrayed beautifully and I think all the actors did an amazing job I would definitely reccomend you watch this show, especially if you like to see people overpowering the wrongfulness of the judging system. There was a lot of scenes we hadn't heard of like the fact he had murdered two others that left us in a state of shock. We are so happy this series has come out to hopefully keep her murderer in prison for the rest of his life and keep Ann safe she is such a brave woman and without her loads of other murderes could've gotten away meaning not only did she get justice for Julie but all the other victims aswell.

Sheridan Smith delivers the performance of a lifetime. Her portrayal of a distraught, angry and grieving mother, makes you believe her pain is real. Incredible. It's a travesty if she doesn't win an award after this. It's horrendous that this is a true story and the attitudes of the time make you glad we've moved on!!

This is a fantastic drama , what a courageous lady she was. A brilliant story well told this has fantastic acting throughout. Sheridan Smith is a fantastic actress and she embodies every character she plays. I love watching her. Don't hesitate to watch this drama. You will not be disappointed. It's very poignant and emotional.

Sheridan Smith in one of her best performances, portraying Ann Ming in this story of her fight for justice, following the murder of her daughter Julie Hogg in 1989. I don't remember the case from the 90's, so it was an eye-opener to see how many times the "system" failed the family.

The best drama since the Post Office Scandal was aired.

This was a very moving drama, that did full justice to the story of Ann Ming and her murdered daughter Julie Hogg.

Sheridan Smith is presently one of the UK's finest acting talents and her portrayal of Ann was absorbing and powerful. She captured the fighting qualities of Ann and the emotional turmoil she endured throughout the process of ending the double jeopardy law.

The whole cast were good in their roles, acting of the highest standard. Emotionally this is a very tough watch but ultimately a rewarding one.
