The outstanding storyline full of intrigue and mystery made the episode grab all my attention from the first minutes and kept the suspense until the end. You may have already known whether he did or not but you wouldn't be sure until the very end.
The fact that it was shot in a single sequence shot made the whole police process and interrogation even more immersive. And every scene transition felt so organic that I feel like no moment was wasted.
The performances of all the cast is very good, but I highlight Stephen Graham's performance, his look and body language in 2 specific scenes were splendid.
I'm in.

The film had a really excellent introduction, setting the tone perfectly with a gripping and intense opening sequence. It showcased a lot of thrilling scenes, which is exactly what I enjoy, keeping me on the edge of my seat from the start. What made it even more compelling was that it defied my expectations-I went in thinking it would follow a familiar formula, but it surprised me in the best way possible. I usually watch Harlan Coben films and read his books, so I'm used to intricate plots and suspenseful storytelling, but this introduction was on another level. The cinematography, pacing, and music all worked together seamlessly to create an atmosphere of mystery and excitement, making it clear that I was in for a rollercoaster of a story.
I turned on this episode without any particular expectations, especially since I'm not a fan of shows with such little episodes.
However, this first episode hooked me from the beginning. First and foremost, the entire episode being recorded in one shot - WOW! Thanks to this method I could feel the action better, just as if I was there.
Beside that, I loved the fact the timings in the story and in the episode timer was 1:1. What I mean is that Jamie was busted at 6:15 a.m and his questioning was finished at 7:12 a.m and it took exactly 57 minutes of the episode.
It looks like the promising show and I hope it won't be destroyed later on.

The Millers are shocked when The Police break their front door down early one morning and make a shocking arrest.
The drama that everyone is talking about, even our politicians.
It's a compelling first episode, gut wrenching, edge of the seat viewing, it really is powerful, yet uncomfortable. We've all seen countless crime dramas, but this one has a twist, the Prime suspect is a teenager.
There's a humdinger of a twist here, one that will ensure you're zoned in and fully engaged.
It has an almost documentary style vibe to it, it's a procedural drama, one where we learn pieces of the puzzle as time moves on.
This features one amazing cast, the likes of Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters and Faye Marsay, but credit where it's due, it's the young Owen Cooper who really delivered.
Powerful drama.
9/10.

This was one of the most tense experiences i have had in a first episode of a TV show! My hands were sweaty almost the entire way through!
The way it is dhot, is an achievement of its own.. just the viewer tracking this one camera.. experiencing everything as it happens.. seeing the plot slowly unfold before your eyes, was brilliant!
On top of all that you get some acting performances thst already feel award worthy.. just based on this first episode, so that is saying something! The kid playing Jamie is one of the best teen performances i have seen in a long time! It felt so real, and watching him i forgot that I wad watching a TV show with an actor!
Do yourself a favor and check this out if you haven't already! What a surprise!
