Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama

Given that the whole planet probably knows the outcome of the trial this dramatisation needed to be super smart to be more entertaining than the orginal story as it played out. Sadly it fell short.

Essentially its a two part re-enactment of the trial without any new information or behind the scenes drama. Instead we got a lot of irritating cutaways to WhatsApp messages being sent and journalists news reports from the time.

Production values were OK, Michael Sheen was the star of the show and the plinky-plonky soundtrack didn't help.

If you're somehow not familiar with the ins and outs of the case it could be a fun watch, otherwise I'd give it a miss as there is no dramatic tension. The docs about the saga are better value.
