    Best sports documentary ever.

    This is by far the best sports documentary I've ever seen, compelling viewing at its finest. My hubby made me watch this as his an old school MMA fan so he loved seeing Chuck Liddell - Pat Miletich & the greatest middleweight ever Anderson silva on this show. I watched it reluctantly because I HATE sports documentaries in general but from the get go this one had us both hooked from beginning to end. We laughed at some of the peoples stories- recounting in detail actual events and towards the end it got quite emotional. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and my hubby has actually watched it again lol.

    Can't believe his still serving time in prison. His paid the price for what he done just don't get how he was sentenced to so long. No one was hurt, people make mistakes.

    What a great documentary!!!!

    This documentary was incredible was glued to my seat once I put it on I couldn't stop watching and binge watched the whole thing in one go.

    Loved how it looked unbiased at all the different perspectives and think that for the first time we see for our self's who Lee Murray really is and he seems very likeable which I wasn't expecting at all, my only gripe was that I wish there was more episodes as I didn't want it to end and would of liked to know more about his childhood growing up. Well done to whoever made this it was a brilliant watch and I hope they do another season maybe when he gets out to finish his story.

    Brilliant watch.

    A must watch -

    This documentary was great.

    To finally hear from Lee himself and see how the lengths the UK Police went to make him out to be the ring leader when clearly that isn't the case.

    It's clear the Police's efforts were fuelled by disliking Lee for many years prior as they have made no attempts to go after the other two.

    Lee has served his time and more. In tough conditions, he has kept quiet until now.

    He should be freed. The extended sentence was completely unwarranted and is continuing to punish him and his family.

    You can not infringe on human rights in this manner.

    Congrats to Pat and the team! It was worth the wait.

    Brilliant - I need more!!

    Didn't know much about this situation but saw the series and thought I'd give it a watch. So glad I did...

    I was hooked from episode 1 and binge watched the whole thing in a day! I was googling while watching the series and the casting of the characters was great! All of the actors played their roles so well.

    If you haven't watched it you need to. Lee Murray what a legend!

    I want updates on where he is now and what's happened since. He's still in Moroccan jail from what I've read online which is crazy considering no one was harmed or died during the robbery. We need a season 2 haha!

    10/10 would recommend!!

    A Good Story Overtold

    The first 3 episodes were rather good and interesting (even if overly focused on Murray's MMA career more than the core story).

    The fourth episode, however, was tedious to say the least. It was as if the director gave the microphone to a room filled with everyone and then left and let them pass it around until they all were exhausted. I swear it went on for 45 minutes after the end of the story. Just comment after comment, and some got more than one shot with the mic. Tedious.

    One might think one would like to hear how every single person who had anything to do with this story (and a couple others) feel about its outcome, but the final episode would prove one wrong (or, at least, teach one to be careful what you wish for).
