Review of Criminal: UK

Great concept for a series especially the episode with David Tennant, really captivating and entertaining. The episode 'Alex' ruined it for me. They had an opportunity to use their platform to show all the issues with rape cases and difficulties convicting rapists. I had a feeling throughout they were going to say it was a false allegation and I was really hoping they wouldn't take that route with so many other issues that could have been highlighted. The minuscule proportion of cases that are the result of false allegations are given so much attention in the media it makes it even more difficult to convict someone when an actual rape happens. I just think this was a massively missed opportunity and left a sour taste in my mouth. I won't be watching any more after that which is a shame as it is such a well put together programme with great acting.
