There is something about a story being true that keeps me on my toes, especially when I have not heard about the outcome or had the details beforehand.
Had you not been told that this story was true, you would find it neither believable nor interesting. You would just go: "nobody's that stupid". Seldom do you feel embarrassed on behalf of someone else but if that's on TV, well, that's amazing.
Cliché, but reality beats fiction.
All in all, this is a great piece of work: paced just right, with the right amount of length (4 episodes is just fine), good production values and some great acting, especially from the two leading actors.
Very refreshing work indeed (the story works by itself, really), and I 'll also tell you this: you get a few hours of "what's gonna happen next" entertainment without a single punch thrown or gunshot fired. This is getting more and more rare.
