I started watching this thinking it would be something different, and then continued - I'm not sure why. I hate true crime stories - there's never any answers and I don't like watching other people's misery for my entertainment.
And, yet, here I was - watching this old man (Jim Sheridan) shuffling about Ireland, mumbling about this and that. He claims to be a "storyteller" but I found him to be possibly the worst storyteller I've ever listened to. I had questions about things that weren't mentioned but should have been just to be able to follow the story properly. They weren't left out to start with because of suspense - it was just oversight of creating a good storyline sequence.
I felt terribly for Sophie and her family. It makes me very glad that my family left Cork back in the 1800s - this does nothing to make one feel good about the police or the people of the township. And, this show has not changed my mind about true crime stories. Never again.
