I enjoyed this drama, mainly because it left the viewer to decide guilt or otherwise and retained the element of doubt so often found in murder cases. Realistic court scenes that doubtless cost millions to enact were runied by one simple mistake. Jury foremen/women do not delay their guilty or not guilty reply for 5 seconds like a Strictly or Bake Off verdict. In that badly judged directorial moment the spell of realism was shattered. I was just watching another male believe drama.
Acting was good, especially the visible tensions between Talitha and her duty solicitor. It was also nice not to have engineered dramatic moments, the story developed in a realistic manner which may be why some reviewers describe the production as plodding or predictable. It is sad, but we are a nation that requires ridiculous twists and turns in every storyline these days.
