You Don't Know Me

I don't understand how people can write a valid review after only watching one episode. It does definitely get better and there are many unexpected events that follow. It's not as predictable as one might initially think. It is a bit if slow burner but enough happens during the build up to keep you intrigued. The acting is good enough but not outstanding and the characters perhaos a little cliche but don't let that put you off. Overall I found it to be an enjoyable mid week suspense series. Not all set in the court room thank goodness as others imply. However, the ending was a tiny bit annoying but I suppose I can see the logic in it.

A man on trial accused of murder and facing overwhelming evidence against him decides at the last moment to sack his barrister and give his own summing up speech in his defence.

It's an intriguing premise, adapted by Tom Edge from the acclaimed novel by Imran Mahmood. We travel back in time to see what really happened, slowly revealed over four episodes.

I thought the production values were top notch in terms of direction and photography with Birmingham filling in for London. The writing was very good with some great dialogue and a very strong plot that intrigued me. The cast was excellent and I'd agree with other reviewers that lead Samuel Adewunmi is a young actor with a very bright future ahead of him.

Solid 7/10 for me, felt punchy, fresh and interesting and it was well made.

Gripping drama that started a little slow but in the end had me hooked. If the ending was better it could have been a 9. Acting was amazing and the overall aesthetic was incredible. Felt very real and authentic.

I totally binged this series and was totally loving it. The storytelling is excellent as were the characters. But the last three minutes left me completely shocked - NOT in a good way. The ending leaves you feeling really duped.

A very unusual and creative courtroom drama which really drew me in. I've never seen a crime drama told in this way, and I found it very intriguing. All the players are believably developed, and I found myself really pulling for the main character, even though he has to make some unfortunate - but understandable - decisions along the way. And the underlying love story is very sweet and believable. I was just left feeling duped by the ending.

It amuses me that some reviews say this is boring, tripe and a waste of time. Perhaps this says more about the attention spans of these reviewers than it does about the writing, direction and acting. It has to said that it's not as fast paced as some series but in many respects it benefits from this.

Samuel Adewunmi And the rest of the actors to a great job, Adewunmi being a real standout performance.

Give it a chance and you will enjoy it.
