I found this interesting having watched the Little Boy Blue drama.
It is a very sad story about an innocent young lad that found himself caught up in a gang war.
To hear from the real people involved in the case is interesting but seeing Susanna Reid doing a *Noddy" to the camera every few seconds is most annoying.
Seeing a breakfast TV presenter in a primetime slot is big exposure for her but takes away from what could have been a great documentary.
A voice over commentary would have been quite sufficient to relate the story.

What a sad story.
Sleepin_Dragon11 December 2020
The heart breaking story of the death of young Rhys Jones, a innocent little lad caught in the middle of a gang shooting.
It's so very sad to watch, I remember the case well, a story that made my blood boil over, how on Earth do people live in such a way, how can it be right that youths carry weapons, what happens when they do, an innocent, loved little boy dies.
A touching documentary, I thought the parents were amazing, so brave, to have suffered so much, an amazing couple.
I liked Susanna Reid, slightly different to Piers, she took an interest, dealt with it with some dignity, and allowed the focus to be on Rhys's story.
An interesting, but bleak watch, 7/10.
