    Interesting but flawed TV drama

    STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning

    Hero (Samuel Adewui) is standing trial, accused of murdering Jamil Issa (Roger Jean Nsengiyumva), a local drug dealer. Sacking his barrister, and providing his own closing statement to the jury, he weaves a story of how he went from being a humble car showroom salesman, until a girl called Kyra (Sophie Wilde) caught his eye on the bus, leading him in to a rollercoaster of mayhem, violence and murder.

    This much touted BBC drama from writer Tom Edge, adapted from the novel by Imran Mahmoud, arrives on the back of a wave of publicity in the mainstream outlets, with it's majority urban cast, and allusion towards the black experience in the Criminal Justice System. Spread out over four parts, it portrays a convoluted tale that is intentionally made to seem unfathomable to those on the safe side of the law, those from the outside looking in as the accused pleads his case.

    Performances wise, in the lead, Adewunmi is certainly impassioned, and carries the affair with power and conviction, assisted by an equally committed supporting cast, in the tale of a man striving to live a straight, legitimate life, who suddenly has to adjust to a life of gangs and violence, all for the love of a woman, which is enough to push any man over the edge. It's this kind of understanding that the writing pleads with you to understand.

    Somehow, it's not as dynamic and compelling as it could have been, perhaps over drawn out at four episodes, with a bothersome ending that ends up leaving you to draw your own conclusion, but overall it's still highly interesting and worthwhile. ***

    Ending pulled rating down

    Gripping drama that started a little slow but in the end had me hooked. If the ending was better it could have been a 9. Acting was amazing and the overall aesthetic was incredible. Felt very real and authentic.

    GREAT Series - Until Last 3 Minutes

    I totally binged this series and was totally loving it. The storytelling is excellent as were the characters. But the last three minutes left me completely shocked - NOT in a good way. The ending leaves you feeling really duped.

    A very unusual and creative courtroom drama which really drew me in. I've never seen a crime drama told in this way, and I found it very intriguing. All the players are believably developed, and I found myself really pulling for the main character, even though he has to make some unfortunate - but understandable - decisions along the way. And the underlying love story is very sweet and believable. I was just left feeling duped by the ending.

    Interesting thriller with a novel twist that's worth sticking with

    A man on trial accused of murder and facing overwhelming evidence against him decides at the last moment to sack his barrister and give his own summing up speech in his defence.

    It's an intriguing premise, adapted by Tom Edge from the acclaimed novel by Imran Mahmood. We travel back in time to see what really happened, slowly revealed over four episodes.

    I thought the production values were top notch in terms of direction and photography with Birmingham filling in for London. The writing was very good with some great dialogue and a very strong plot that intrigued me. The cast was excellent and I'd agree with other reviewers that lead Samuel Adewunmi is a young actor with a very bright future ahead of him.

    Solid 7/10 for me, felt punchy, fresh and interesting and it was well made.

    Samuel Adewunmi

    Really good drama, if you have a reason to watch 'You don't know me' then watch it for the superb acting by these young actors. Samuel Adewunmi is an amazing actor and I wager that he is going to be a huge star in the future.
