When I saw that You Don't Know Me had a 6.9 rating, I was surprised; I gave it an 8.5. The writing was brilliant, the device of letting the audience see the story through a defendant's summation to the jury was quite clever, and the acting was stellar. Also, its treatment of communities of color in London was nuanced and respectful. Among other things, the story showed how folks could get swept up in a vortex of crime, however well-intended.
When I reached the end, I figured out why the show's rating was that low: Many folks were unhappy with the ending, and expressed it with their rating. Don't be misled. This was a moving and quality miniseries.
