Trivia

Based on the real-life case of Det. Superintendent Steve Fulcher, who, whilst investigating a young woman's disappearance, broke a number of police procedural rules in order to get the prime suspect to confess and reveal the location of the victim. The suspect also simultaneously confessed to the abduction and murder of another young woman several years before. As the suspect had not been formally cautioned and advised of his rights by Fulcher, the case was put in jeopardy. Fulcher's actions were heavily criticised in court and by his superiors and, following disciplinary action, he eventually resigned from the force but does not regret his behaviour given the circumstances.

Was expecting good things but...
3 September 2019 | by idoldrummer – See all my reviews

Just watched the first episode and it's kinda normal police drama at the moment but really bad camera work, zooming in and out and unsteady work is putting me off. Didn't the director or producers see this.?
