Review of Public Enemies

6/10
Excellent story...until it isn't
21 September 2020
I saw the reference to objections raised by the Crown's parole staff to improbable plot elements in this story. Be that as it may, this short series is convincing and well-done, whether or not it's an accurate reflection of the reality of probation and parole in the UK. The acting and directing are very good. Right up to the last 15 minutes, when all reality flies completely out the window. So I can recommend it for the quality of the production, characterization, acting, all that. but watch the clock and switch off the telly 15 minutes before it ends, to avoid bursting into howls of derisive laughter at the last scenes. I won't spoil it, because right up to that point it really is well-done.
