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.

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.
A compelling story well told. The pace and character's frustrations appear realistic. The acting, especially from Rihanne Barretto, is strong and personal.

Keeley Hawes normally makes decent career choices, but this time her radar let her down badly. Despite her own best efforts ... and she does give a credible, emotional performance ... just about everything else was a washout.
No fast paced action, no twists, and no moments of tension. It was just very dull.
Some may argue that a true story deserves to be shown with an air of realism, and that police work is mostly mundane. Well in that case, get the real Inspector Caroline Goode to contribute to a documentary-style presentation and skip the drama aspect completely.
Most viewers tune in for something that is cinematic and memorable. This wasn't. 6.8/10

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
