    Worth a look

    Considering it's based on a true story I think the writers did a good job of squeezing as much drama as possible from the events.

    But it's not perfect. There are some very slow moments and overall it might have fitted one less episode better.

    Having said that, it is quite compelling and most of the lead actors were excellent.
