    Gripping

    A very heartfelt and look at our failing country and justice system. Depends which side of it the fence you sit on I suppose. Only disappointing thing for me was a lack of scenery around the actual murder so that the viewer can see what the jury see's as well as a typical 'based on a true story' update at the end on where all involved are currently and how they are doing. Otherwise a decent portrayal of an horrific moment in their lives.

    An interesting and deep watch

    Firstly fantastic acting by Billy Barrett what an excellent portrayal of a difficult role. Makes you question your own beliefs and the law. Would recommend it.

    Very moving

    I was left sobbing and in bits. Billy Barrett is a true actor with a bright future.

    A tragic story so brilliantly told.

    Raw food for thought

    One of those dramas where you feel that rating it good and saying what you liked about it makes you feel inappropriate.

    For such production and the story it's based on, there is no other way to do it best than make it as raw as could be. Everything seems so trivial - I mean cast, dialogues, scenes, yet it is the whole clue - to make you feel that such tragedy can happen any time. Emotional impact is clearly based on viewer's sensitivity and it got me completely. The only thing I was missing was just few closing conslusions, that human extreme emotions are way above justice being served basing mostly on words and other people's points of view. Nobody can even imagine how would he act while being in other's shoes, because person who judges, and exact same person who would be put in the same situation, are actually two totally different people.
