You Don't Know Me

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.

Really good drama, if you have a reason to watch 'You don't know me' then watch it for the superb acting by these young actors. Samuel Adewunmi is an amazing actor and I wager that he is going to be a huge star in the future.

I almost didn't watch this, the initial bits appeared to be a bit too much of the "fam, bruv, innit" for my personal taste. I am so glad I stuck with it. Plenty to it, not an overly happy subject which I initially thought would be like watching paint dry being courtroom based. It was really well acted and kept me watching.

Well done BBC.

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.

I live British mini series. I loved the mystery, the acting and the characters in this one. I wasn't expecting that twist, all along I thought it was going to be a different one.

I recommend this mini series but if you're anything like me, you will also be kinda annoyed by the ending.
