There is much new information, and many personal updates since the making of Paradise Lost(1996) and Paradise Lost 2(2010). * * * * * * POTENTIAL SPOILER FROM FIRST 10 MINS OF PROGRAMME!!! * * * Most obviously, that the accused were released in 2011. There are also post-release interviews (one off camera), with all three released men. The progress of DNA Validation/dismissal/discovery of witnesses. and so many other things that i can't mention without literally giving spoilers.

As for the 'host' who as a trained fire investigator, with proven skills as a crime investigator, is more than just a host. He speaks coherently and passionately to camera. Nor does he use jargon that would exclude the audience, when he consults with fellow crime/investigation professionals.

Of course, much of the media and court footage has been seen before but it is impossible to avoid showing this if one is to tell the story from beginning up to the current point - 2019. However there is much new footage, and often the older footage was used in a different context - if you watch then you will see what i mean.

I can only think that the relatively high rating is for the nudity, or the sex, which just looks ridiculous (except perhaps,for one solo scene), and not exciting in the slightest.

Weird introduction to start with, and if you get past that then well done. Lots of long dialogues about how an artist, or writer or their work, is a metaphor for certain situations. Very pretentious with lots of swirling about, singing boring songs and then random violence.

The description probably leads you to think that there will be a sort of love story between the two guys, but there is simply intimidation, anger and abuse. None of the 'plots' (and i use that word in VERY loose terms) come to anything, and it is just frustrating, tedious and messy.

This is one of the worst films that i have ever watched. The length and pretentiousness of the many, many 'performance art' scenes are tortuous. They are also largely pointless since the spend a good deal of the film verbally making their objections know to censorship and the potential closure of their venue. Then they spend more time making costumes and songs. (Not spoilers as this info is in the film synopsis on most sites) Please make it end!!

Oh, and just incase anyone may be thinking that my understanding is not sophisticated enough to understand the nuances of the film. Firstly, i have studied Film Studies and Critical Analysis. Secondly, there aren't any nuances.

I can only imagined people rated highly for the almost constant stream of nudity. Yes, you can get bored of seeing full frontal nudity, even if some of the people are relatively attractive
