24 Hours in Police Custody

Arguably "true crime" has never seen a better documentary. The awarding of ten stars is without ambiguity, without doubt, without considering "the nine". 24 Hours in Police Custod has, to date, had 19 different directors - rather suggesting that it is the format, more than anything else, that lies behind the greatness.

All "top-end-documentary-requirements" are in place; the showing of all sides to the story, the balanced rhetoric, the flow, the sense of being there, the unfolding of the story, the suspense and the conclusion.

This is high end drama without the "changes for dramatical purposes". This is, also, one of the rare documentaries that truly motivates the claim; "reality is greater than fiction".

Greatness comes in many shapes and forms. Within its genre - 24 Hours in Police Custody is arguably the " hottest ticket in town" - If there was one series to choose this could be the one.
