I know that but I mean what else can they reveal apart from the conviction etc. I’m sure it will focus on Sheridan Smith’s character and how she felt after all was revealed.

I haven’t seen her in Game of Thrones but I can imagine this would be a much more complex role to play.

More info here.

It was quite widely publicised.

I didn’t realise it was that long ago. Thought it was maybe 5 years ago at most.

I KNOW. You’re not understanding what I’m saying. I’m talking about the drama they’ve “created” with the personal relationships/behind the scenes so I am curious as to what they will show that could potentially be made up for dramatic effect.

#14

I get you. I’ve not seen it but the hype for it seemed to focus around the woman (a neighbour or friend?) Who led the search efforts

#15

Nope

#16

You disagreeing means I’m right though.

#17

Nope, it’s fucking running around with dragons in skimpy outfits, get a grip “serious role”

#18

I don’t tend to consider rape and torture as normal aspects of a light-hearted drama but to each his own, I guess.

#19

Yeah it’s in there, in the same way it’s in shows like 24 or something, dealt with without any depth and in a bit of an off way imo but yeah whatever if adult themes is enough for ya this is just run of the mill for her I guess

Drifting a bit from the point I was making: In 24, Sutherland still actually plays his role well. The writing is shoddy and less believable than dragons stomping around but if someone watched the first season of 24 and then said, “Yeah, still not convinced Keifer can handle anything other than light comedy. I’d need to see him in a depressing docudrama to be convinced,” then I for one would be a bit

Ignoring the two heaving bellends above, I thought Sheridan smith was great but didn’t really like it overall. Thought the mum and stepdad were really badly acted, drifted into caricature. Was still pretty watchable and there’s only one other episode so will watch it at some point

why did i think there were 5 more episodes

#24

No it’s only two. But maybe they’ll do a sequel, who knows what crazy adventures the writers will come up with next.

I watched it with my Valentine (who fell asleep) after my current favorite program (Further Back In Time For Dinner)

It was ok!

#29

I only watched this because I though Smith and Whelan would do a good job and of course they did. Good scenes in the car where the get her to fess up and on the park bench

Thought part 2 was a big improvement, pretty good all in
