8.1/10 Good quality, but not stunning.
Most of the brilliance is due to the shaping of the characters and the acting skills of DTT. The part of the investigation and the court trial is still the old way of the British drama. It's a pity that the rhythm is not well mastered. Some of the information about Brain and Des is too small and superficial. The discovery of the victims and the court trial are also a little tricky, and the long and difficult investigation and inquiry can't be reflected.
There are also problems with character creation. Too many foreshadowings and foreshadowings have been abandoned. DCI Peter's family just mentioned it, and there is no more mention, resulting in this character without edges and corners. Brain's psychology also lacked construction, thinking that he would explore his inner struggles and some kind of resonance with Des, but he didn't expect the role to be cut, and finally turned into a stereotyped positive image.
In fact, it is understandable that the three-episode film should be shot less, the story telling is not clear, the characters can’t stand, and the filming should be too much. There is not so much room for creation in the reality adaptation. Generally speaking, it is a success.
It's a bit of a pity, DTT can be said to have created another milestone character. If the production is more sophisticated, the script will be much better.
