Interesting show that went under the radar. The story of how Hero met Kyra is sweet and believable. The way he is allowed to tell the series of events in court, though, does require some suspension of disbelief, but taking liberties not based on real procedures is very common in films and shows involving trials and legal matters. Being just 4 episodes long, it doesn't drag more than it should and the story wraps up pretty nicely.
It goes on and on, with a guy telling you all about his innocence in a manner that no court would allow. So while the first 3 episodes are sort of interesting, the way it's told isn't very realistic. I take issue with stories that don't try to stay true to life.
The story is compelling though, although it would've been better told like to a defense attorney. It illustrates how one bad decision can go even worse by making more and more bad decisions. All the results are still of the making of the very first bad decision not to go to police right off the bat. Sure, it's arguable they couldn't, hell wouldn't, do anything, as is made in one of the conversations.... But even the effort to do it might not result in this story at all.
The biggest flaw in the story though is how the mother never calls the cops. He's a "good boy" so mom would call the police. Even the twisting and turning can't cover up the obvious.
I stayed through the whole thing because the only comment said it was great....BS. There's some good acting, but the script is just so absurd. I kept waiting for the ending to be the great part. Nope.
4/10. The twists were sometimes interesting if not wrapped in nonsense. The acting was decent. The script was absurd.

A absolutely excellent show just as you think it's going one way it twists on you and takes you in a different direction. Well worth watching.
If there were more programs of this callibre from the bbc I might actually think about buying a tv license but that's not going to happen.
