For all of you who want to watch filmmaking at its best, this is compulsory.
Great performances and amazing directing by one of the best directors of his generation. Bravo!!
In 1984, when the Police and Criminal Evidence Act replaced the antiquated Judges Rules, nobody could have foreseen the dreadful consequences that this drama so vividly portrays. It would have been inconceivable that police procedures would have become paramount and the realities of dead bodies and grieving relatives judicially disregarded.
This story should be compulsory viewing for anyone who cares about our criminal justice system. The background and sub-plots are exceptionally realistic and the acting is superb. An excellent programme.

This is superb television drama. Don't know what the reviews talking about the camera motion are talking about-didn't notice a problem. Martin Freeman performance was outstanding as I expected and Imelda Staunton's performance as the untiring mother of the victim was truly award winning in every way. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and highly recommend it.
A confession is a gritty six part drama, telling the real life crimes of Christopher Halliwell, the murders of Sian and Becky.
The fact that the crimes are still relatively recent, I found there to be a certain sensitivity in the way the story was told, it's presented as factual, rather then sensational, it's dramatic, but not stretched beyond belief.
I wondered how they could stretch this show over six episodes, but they do, it goes from the crime to the events of the trial.
You will learn the ins and outs of PACE and its right procedures.
Terrific performances, Martin Freeman and Imelda Staunton especially are both superb. It contains some real life footage.
The main talking point, the camera work, initially it irritated me, jumping about and zooming, after a few episodes I stopped noticing.
It's excellent. 9/10.

I can't get over how heartbreaking this programme is. A mother of three daughters, this hit hard.
The justice system, the stupid defence lawyers, the judge... How could they just out rule the evidence and go on a technicality... This had me reeling, pure anger and tears. Because of course, this is a true story.
The acting was insane, every single actor in this programme. They played it so well.
