ITV seem to excel at these real-life dramas. They manage to tell the story in a 'straight' yet entertaining manner without the need for getting woke nor preachy (as another famous broadcaster does). The story is probably familiar to most by now, but nonetheless shocking when you see how it wrecked careers and lives. The Post Office and it's management don't come out of this well at all. But that didn't stop the government awarding their CEO a CBE. Absolutely disgraceful! The The cast all give riveting performances that perfectly capture the toll inflicted on hapless postmasters across the country. This production is a real credit to ITV who set the standard for such dramas.
