One of the reviewers here felt he/she had to write a review to refute the negative reviews of the other two featured on this page. I agree with the other two that this is a poorly fleshed out mini series that even the talented Hayley Atwell cannot redeem.
The police,and especially Hayley's character, spend over twenty years dancing around three rapes and getting nowhere. There is even tampering with evidence to secure a conviction, be it one of the actual rapists.This convicted criminal spends many years in jail, then comes out and sues for a flawed conviction. Absolute rubbish! Hayley's character appears to be about as incompetent as you can get, but ends up in the lofty rank of superintendent. She never admits to tampering with evidence.
There is also a running theme that a woman cannot have a career and be a good mother and wife,and it overreaches into the current era. Pretty bad stuff. Hayley is good as usual. 5/10
