Honour

The story of the murder of Banaz Mahmood, a young Kurdish woman, murdered in a so called honour killing.

On the case is DI Caroline Goode, superbly portrayed by Keeley Hawes, there truly is nothing she cannot do, it's a sensitive performance.

It's interesting that the story is told through the eyes of the Detective, as opposed to through the eyes of the victim.

It's moving, a case that myself and my family remember well, one we all considered shocking and the behaviour of the men associated abhorrent.

It's a chilling story, highlighting cultural differences from a small fraction of people, views on women that seen so alien to most of us.

The only criticism, why on Earth didn't ITV put this out on one night, preferably a Sunday evening? Two parts, wasn't necessary.

Overall, I thought it was very good, 8/10.

Great! I know that it has been criticised by various communities, but this is a story that should be told so that the lessons can be learnt. Maybe it could have been told from a different angle, or more could have been heard of some of the central characters, but the fact remains that, were it not for the courage and tenacity of Caroline Goode, there would have been no justice. Watch it!

A short, two-part, series about a tragic real event.

It's a well acted show, if nothing out of this world. Keeley Hawes gives the best acting on display in her role as Caroline. With that noted, it's only really the sadness from the real life story that keeps the show ticking over. At two episodes, though, it's well worth viewing. It does an appropriate job at showing how disgracefully let down Banaz Mahmod was.

Keily Hawes yet again excelled yet again in her portrayal of the determined DCI investigating a vile crime. My only criticism is the series deserved longer perhaps another hour or two to flesh out the detail. It is important that barbaric religious crimes like these are exposed more frequently to prevent repetition and ensure there are less cover ups. A worthwhile well acted drama.

Story about a girl failed by her backward family, then failed by police & everyone else. I hope girls in these families & culture learn about the rights in the society and save their lives by leaving it
