Just noticed the intro: This is a true story.
Instead of what is usually seen: Based on true story.
The difference here is still huge. Comparing with the real case records of this case on Wikipedia, the degree of restoration of this play is quite high, and even the timeline after Sian's disappearance is almost a second. And Becky's mother's comments on the outcome of the trial were also word-for-word.
Because it is a real reproduction, I feel more depressed, especially the fourth episode.
Everyone watched helplessly as the perverted Christopher led a large team of police officers to find the body; when C confessed to Fulcher about the second body, a third party was present, and a policewoman had been recording their conversation. Anyone with a little common sense knows that this must be done by C. But the law says No, and the police officer in charge of the case is even suspected of abusing his power or even extorting confessions by torture.
How irritating!
Becky's biological father is also an asshole. The conversation with Becky's mother at breakfast showed that he did not admit his fault at all, and then complained to Fulcher, which made me out of anger. If I were there, I might slap him. Having said that, the actors in this show are really good. Except for Fulcher's face, which is too familiar, everyone else makes me believe that it is me, me.
Actors including C are clearly perverted. When he appeared in court, he smiled at the auditorium, horrified.
The system has gradually become its own enemy, helpless. I can understand that the various restrictions on the police are to avoid real abuse of power. The judge decided that the confession obtained on that day should not be used for prosecution. This is to prevent future troubles and not to open this hole. But this case is clear, and there is no other possibility. At this time, it is foolish to be dogmatic.
Reality is dark.
Episode 3 has the highest ratings so far, and this one is bound to drop significantly. Because most audiences still prefer a heartwarming plot.
