Thoroughly enjoyed this exciting series. Outstanding cast and great storyline filmed in and around Bristol - which is a nice change.
The ending is somewhat of a surprise and open to interpretation but there's nothing wrong with that. Well worth watching and on a par with series such as Broadchurch and Liar imo.

Very well made and superbly acted. Held my attention from start to finish. OK the story sometimes seemed a bit too complex and lacking credibility but I was easily able to suspend disbelief. All the lead characters were on top form, and the flash backs were handled well. I felt that five episodes was just about right.

What has happened to student Hannah, young working class girl, who's vanished on the night of the student ball.
It's very much a slow burner, that ignites in the final episode. It's a little slow to begin, bur it gets better as it develops, the story unravels well, and you get to learn more about each of the characters.
You could be forgiven for thinking that this was solely a courtroom set drama, it's of course there, but it shows the whole process of the conviction, interestingly it shows the involvement of The CPS.
The acting is first class, every person plays their part, but I must mention Celine Buckens, who was the standout for me as Talitha, a character instantly loathed, but grew to sympathise with, that's down to her talents.
The right result? Not sure.
Worth your time, 8/10.

Very clever writing and superb acting gets you rooting for the most unlikeable character by the end. A smirk has rarely been so annoying! Tracy Ilfeachor is absolutely mesmerising as the solicitor. Loved it!

- TriviaThe number of Crown Prosecution Lawyers in the UK is approx one fifth of the number of Barristers and one twentieth the number of practising lawyers - they therefore have a high case load and less time than shown in the series to focus on individual cases, accepting of course that high profile ShowTrials would merit more involvement.
