After finishing "Dez" in one go, this three-episode mini-British drama feels more like a documentary. The narrative methodically advances the process of arrest, interrogation and trial of this notorious "Scottish serial killer". "Sturdy and neat" also lacks a bit of dramatic color, so it can't be considered exciting. David Tennant is a good fit for such a well-mannered pervert. Compared to his previous performance in "Good Omens", he still has a relatively personal interpretation, with more than enough elegance and less than shady, although this can also be interpreted as The character archetype is like that, mainly because the acting style is too strong. It can be seen that the work itself criticized some dark sides of Britain in the 1980s, especially the inaction of the high-level police, which almost led to the miscarriage of the case, which obviously violated the original intention of the police to seek justice for the victims and the survivors. The justice of this victim can never be served. Fortunately, there are the tireless efforts of the police led by the protagonist, but the most powerless thing is the trial: this high-IQ cold-blooded murderer almost escaped legal punishment through a loophole in the system. The kind of "suspected crime never found" and the abuse of "released by insanity" in the Anglo-American legal system really need to be viewed dialectically. Both the prosecution and the defense are royal lawyers (which happened to be linked to the British drama "Royal Lawyer" that I watched earlier) , the defense cleverly used loopholes to exonerate the murderer who knew he was guilty, which made me feel that he was going to escape from the French open. It was Dennis' shocking details of the crime that ultimately led to the jury's guilt verdict, but I believe that from a debate perspective, the prosecution was at a disadvantage, and the result was the victory of the people's simple sense of justice over the use of the law. Those rules and regulations of loopholes and sophistry, people feel that such people should be brought to justice and punished! So in the end, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This was a happy ending when justice was done, but the choice of life imprisonment without the death penalty made me quite repulsive. Criminals should be executed with the death penalty, and the dignity of life should be defended by deprivation of life. I feel that Teacher Luo Xiang's quotations are ringing in my ears again...
