Conviction: Murder at the Station

Maybe I'm getting to be too demanding in expecting a beginning, middle and end. We certainly get a beginning and a bit of a middle, but no end...!!!

That's so disappointing, I found the two episodes so enthralling. The main character is a gem. But frankly as it stands it's not worth watching, because it's missing an episode, an ending. So disappointing....

The building of the narrative introduces us to a strong, dynamic character working at the centre of a fast paced charity. Surrounding herself with professionals from a variety of interesting and very serious work. The pace picks up as the story develops - then pop, the ballon bursts and it's all over. I really feel like sending a stern letter to someone for building up by senses and then letting me down.

This is not entertainment 😞

Louise Shorter of the charity 'Inside Justice' is called to look into the conviction of Roger Kearney, who was convicted of murdering Paula Poolton, a woman he was said to have had some form of relationship with.

I get why there are negative reviews, and in some ways it is a really frustrating watch, however, the case itself is very ambiguous, with lots of holes, just like this two part documentary.

The ending is a little abrupt, but that isn't the fault of Louise, the producers or The BBC, that's surely the fault of The Police for disposing of valuable evidence, that aspect makes zero sense.

It's interesting, it exposes some baffling mistakes by The Police, hard to imagine.

Louise was good on camera, quite natural, and fortunately they didn't do those reconstructed scenes that are now so common.

To this day, Kearney remains in prison, and several questions remain unanswered.

Not all stories have a start, middle and conclusion, not do all documentaries.

7/10.

This two part documentary ended like there should have been 2 more episodes. It left us in limbo over missing evidence, a search for more evidence to conduct further testing into Y chromosomes. No summary of evidence, decision whether or not an appeal would be held or even an update as to what the convict thought. Very disappointed

You will waste your time, get invested into a story that ends abruptly. Sort of like being led up the garden path to a dead end.

Also, I feel the main the lady with the untidy hair - the one running the charity - seemed completely out of her depth. It was a job for a qualified lawyer - not some random person poking her nose, asking questions that had been decided by professionals. It just came across as very silly.

Plus, it dragged on unnecessarily, despite being two episodes. I just forwarded it to get to the end, only to be disappointed at being offered no summary conclusion.

Sadly, a really sloppy, unsolved mystery.
