3rd December 2008

For a TV series (spread over two discs of six episodes and approaching four and a half hours) with a truly all-star British cast and a storyline involving a trial, bullying, race relations and a vicious murder, it starts out well and then falls flat on its face in a surprisingly rushed ending.

It's not helped by the 'disaster movie' cliche of all the main jurors having problems of their own, which rather clouds the main story, and an anticipated twist that never happens.

Ultimately disappointing, it would have worked better as a 'Midsommer Murder' where you got find out what really happened...
