“Itu0026#39;s a truly fascinating story, the outcomes of what happened could quite literally have changed how the world thinks and acts.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA somewhat strange choice of material for a drama, but it made a change from cop shows, and it was nice to only have to invest 90 minutes of time in a one off drama, and not the usual six weeks.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI found it a little slow, half baked perhaps the right term, it was well acted for sure, nicely produced, but I donu0026#39;t think they made full use of the material, until the last fifteen minutes or so.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe impacts could have been incalculable, they were hardly mentioned.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs mentioned though the acting was great, Watkins and Hamilton never disappoint.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWorth watching, but be aware itu0026#39;s not the usual pulse racing drama thatu0026#39;s generally on, 7/10.”
