Three Girls

Very good documentary style based in real life people and situations. Harrowing to watch and scarily, still under reported and even in Rochdale still going on. One my daughter gets a bit older its something i want her to watch as a warning.

This appears to be a meticulously researched docudrama about the trafficking of young girls in the Yorkshire region. It did make the headlines but seemed to have dragged on for ages. It's still difficult to understand how the girls could have fallen into the trap but with the chaotic home lives, I guess it was understandable. Inaction, often taking the path of least resistance by the authorities, police and social services, was not helpful and one can only hope that this event lead to better monitoring to prevent situations like this from occurring in the future.

This needed to be scripted and played so strongly and correctly and I think they hit the mark. Maybe we need more, the amount of young women who have come forward in the last 10 is shocking and heartbreaking. But more than that it makes me angry that I live around the area and we were blind to it.

This should be a warning to us all that tippy toeing around because we might cause offence does not and should never come before the welfare of our children.

Sad thing about this series is that one community will get tarred with the brush, which is unfair but more must have known what was going on even if they opposed it.

Some great performances, my favourite was from maxine Peak, superb.

Watch it, be careful if you have teen children

This was one of the best shows I have watched, the acting was great well done. The way these girls were treated was a disgrace, they are very brave and i am very proud of them. Words fail me on how Sara was treated, i take my hat of to her. While watching the show i was moved to tears for them I was also angry at the way they were treated.

As hard and difficult this was to watch because of its realistic undertones, it is amazing in that and every other sense. This mini-series is so brutally on-point and straightforward in showing the dark reality of child sex abuse, human trafficking and grooming (not to mention how deadly accurate it is to the particular cases it is directly referring to), that it still haunts me to this day. The screenplay, sublime acting, pace, direction, everything was perfect. I'd recommend this to anyone who are willing to eat up their optimistic hopes and gulp the reality of this world. Because this really will do just that and set the scene. We've needed this and we've got it.
