If the first three episodes were slow, boy was this the worst yet. How ITV have dragged this mediocre drama out beyond two episodes is beyond me. It's by the numbers crime and frankly feels implausible so no wonder twitter is awash with people turning off because they're bored or pointing out discrepancies with the real case. I guess this is what happens when viewers aren't engaged and there is nothing to get engaged in here. Terrible accents, some awful acting and a wig that should have its own show! I'm just left asking why ITV wasted so much money on this dross. Surely there are better crime stories worth telling? Look at Netflix telling important and relevant crime stories like Unbelieveable and When They See Us and it just makes ITV look so old fashioned to be churning out yet more, dull as can be 'middle aged white male police officer fighting for justice'. Having seen a few ITV true crime dramas I'm getting dejavu because they're all basically about the same thing. Manhunt, A Confession and now this. ITV need to get an imagination and stop treating their audiences like idiots only capable of understanding the same old story.
