A detective (Steve Coogan) reopens the 13 year old case of the racially driven murder of Stephen Lawrence, after 2 previous failed attempts at a conviction.
Coogan is excellent, dodgy cockney accent aside. As are the actors playing Stephen's parents.
I was surprised by how engaging this show was, and uplifting too with Stephen's parents behaving with such dignity. This is no dull police drama. Yes, the focus is on the evidence but it works very well.
Overall, a really strong script and cast with plenty of emotion and heart. Definitely worth a watch.
