In spite of Pensman's above evaluation of this episode and series, it is a fine piece of 'fiction.' The acting is extremely good, especially, from Rhys Ifans as the protagonist, Michael Dunne. Because of the time taken to carve out the story, the characters are given very good depth and are all believable. The dysfunction of the victim's family is well and, yet, subtly displayed as it is allowed to unfold and become evident. We witness the victim's mother's dilemma as she begins to awaken to reality but suppresses the truth. The very reasons quoted above in the review by Pensman as making this episode and series flawed is, actually, the very strength of the production. People in real life are sentenced to prison far too often and, sadly, more often than we realize on shoddy, circumstantial evidence. Over zealous cops with tunnel vision do exist, often. And, in the end, we still do not know what is the truth - although, one can reasonably come to either decision on one side of the fence or the other. That is the strength and the talent of this production. No, it is not CSI. It's a one-star better.
