I actually think the drama was badly directed. In particular the trial. It completely failed to build any drama and it just didn't convey the full horror of the crimes. Would've been much more dramatic and true to the real case if it had been done in a docu-drama style.
Think 'Jeremy' character was over acted. Disappointed and if it had not been a real life case I would have not bothered watching after the first part.
Yes I know a few people actually found it quite slow a boring . Which sounds terrible . But they were confused.
I think they did not understand why jeremy was portrayed so differently in different scenarios l so when he ws with Anne his behaviour was based in her statements / interpretation. When he was with Colin it was based on his experience and by his own admission he saw noting odd or when he did put it down to shock or perhaps an opinion that everyone deals with grief differently. Colin was more upset about the “ family “ behaviour.
But the viewer did not understand that .
I watched crimes that shook Britain tonight and it was interesting that the local journalist who was reporting thought that Jeremy looked genuinely distraught at the funeral .
There was so much more they could have done with the drama and tbh I am very surprised that for the six episodes they missed so much . It was a bit like they had a point to make . Then they dumbed it down and then the actual court case was just rushed through with no evidence even from the eatons or boutflours or even the questions the jury had .
Like I said I still find it very odd . Why make a drama to prove that a Gulity man ( because legally he is ) is guilty ?
