It's a true story about a missing young woman so no way can it be described as good LQ .

OK, perhaps I worded it wrong, was it not worth watching . I don't remember this story so I wanted to watch it but everyone is switching off so perhaps the storyline is too slow.

Re: The Confession

LQ that was only the first episode . It's really about the detective's downfall after the method he used to extract a confession .
The Trevor McDonald documentary about the Sian O' Callagha case is on YouTube if you want to get a quick look at the story instead of watching 6 hours of this .
Your choice .

LQ, I think that, to be able to understand the dramatization of this true story, you need to understand the relationships between the people.....and that is sometimes is a bit slow.
I enjoy programmes like this because it helps me understand why the police need to establish how the victim related to different people.

I think I saw parts of this story before, on Judge Rinders crime stories, where the policeman breaks the rules to get a confession. It helps you understand the emotions of trying to find a girl, or her body, when your heart tells you that you have the right criminal.
I will certainly watch it!

Re: The Confession

My wife watched it tonight and thought it was ok. As for myself, I prefer the real life story, told as a documentary. I always feel uncomfortable with actors playing the parts of real people involved in the case. As it has been said, this crime has been shown before, so best to check that out, rather than wade through six episodes.

Re: The Confession

I was getting bored, it was too slow for me and the camera man kept on zooming into their faces and zooming out again. Don't know if I will be watching the next episode or not.
