Not sure how accurate this was, even after reading the little bit I found about the real crime this is based on. The series itself is a bit too repetitive and has been stretched unnecessarily. But the acting is generally very solid and believable, especially the parents. The 'evidence', such as it is as presented here, is never truly convincing, yet the statements by both parents as to what actually happened and when/where they were at the time of the murder, is also never satisfactorily explained. The lack of DNA for instance, in the car, the cottage and on the victim, is non-existent except for the so-called unexplained one by the male who apparently had nothing to do with this event. It was all a bit too confusing in terms of what really happened and above all, the motive was very unclear. It's ok to have a show with ambiguous endings, but in this case, where a young girl is murdered, ostensibly by her parents, it is left up to the viewer to decide on guilt or innocence. One thing was clear though: the mother had major psychological issues and the relationship between the parents was not healthy. How they managed to adopt this child is a question that lingers. A sad and still unresolved crime it seems, despite the guilty verdict.
