Has anyone been watching this in STV/ITV?

Really enjoying this, the first decent thing that has been on terrestrial TV in months.

I don't think I know the story although I may have listened to a podcast episode about it as some bits are familiar.

Planning on watching this on catch-up at the weekend

John Cooper - hideous bloke. Heard a few podcasts about him.

Enjoyed it, but thought they could have expanded on some of the trial bits. Judges summing up usually guides the jury, but went straight from some challenged evidence to the jury verdicts. Really good though.

Thought it was good although I'm not sure if the lead detective was as charismatic in real life as Luke Evans was in the role? Good to see Owen Teale (the prosecution lawyer) back on telly again.

Keith Allen played the part of John Cooper very well.

I watched all 3 episodes in one go. It's very good and very realistic. Luke Evans is really good in it

Another recommendation as I just finished watching it all on Monday and really enjoyed it.

Yes, Luke Evans was brilliant also.

 

[Fraser]

I enjoyed it also. Felt very realistic.

I had seen the documentaries about him. Also saw the Crimewatch reconstructions for it on YouTube.
