- BlooperPanning shots of the city centre of Newcastle upon Tyne used during the series showed buildings which would not have been present in 2010, such as Bank House which was under construction on Pilgrim Street at the time of filming (2022).
Recensione in evidenza
My wife and I possibly made the mistake of watching beforehand the repeated original TV news documentary outlining the actual events depicted here in this new three-part mini-series. In so doing, I obviously learned first hand all that the dramatisation portrayed, thus filling in all the blanks about it in my memory and precluding any sense of surprise at the nonetheless horrific sequence of events surrounding the crazed killer Raoul Moat.
What this also did unfortunately was evidence again the obeisance to diversity which today's television programme-makers feel obliged to follow. Under their usual disclaimers in shows like this of inventing composite fictional characters and imagining situations and dialogue for dramatic purposes, it was just too obvious for me that the prominent interpolation of a black female investigating officer or female senior DCI wasn't based on fact but purely to cater to wokism. I'm fine with this to a large extent but I suppose I'm a bit less tolerant when it so obviously alters real events captured on film less than fifteen years ago.
Anyway, mini-moan over, the three episodes nonetheless sharply conveyed the evil acts of Moat, a convicted felon who on his release from prison sought out his ex-partner's new boyfriend and with the help of two equally deluded accomplices, shot the poor guy down in cold blood before also attempting to kill her too. She had told him that her new man was in the police to try to deter him from coming after her but this tragically backfired with Moat turning his mad rage on the police itself to the extent that he went on to callously shoot in the face an innocent policeman sat in his patrol car, who we learn at the end was blinded by this and who tragically took his own life only a year or two later, making him another belated victim of this evil man.
What I didn't pick up in the real-life documentary was the extent to which Moat apparently garnered a following among some deluded individuals on the internet who somehow saw him as an anti-establishment hero whose actions were justified because the ex-girlfriend he'd abused for years had the temerity to try to move on with her life. Much is made of Moat's climactic suicide denying his victims' relatives justice, but you know, I don't think his self-destruction would have been too upsetting for me if I'd been in their place.
Presented relatively straightforwardly without histrionics, well acted by all the main cast members, this was a compelling retelling of a shocking and almost unbelievable story of coercive behaviour and jealous vindictiveness taken to horrific extremes.
