This may be the best mini series I have ever watched. Reveals the characters to your through the actions, without heavy handed explanatory dialogue. Deep enough that you feel you are discovering interesting people without becoming frustrated with lack of action. Every note was spot on and perfect. It felt like this story was driven by the heart of the story, not by certain plotted out points that were required to be hit. It just felt like you were on a natural ride watching real people struggle, which is all the more impressive considering how simply the source material is sometimes treated. I feel grateful for the incredible acting, writing and editing together of this masterpiece.

Considering this is three parts you would think there is a lot of documenting here in a supposed documentary, but there is not. Part two is interesting as it actually has facts about the family history, but beyond that Its yet another gossip fest pretending to be a documentary which is in vogue these days. With no actual proven crimes and all unsubstantiated allegation it really ends up feeling like speculation that he was, "kinda sorta doing bdsm wrong or something like that ... sorta". There might have been crimes committed, but maybe not, and so this seems like a shaming before knowing type thing. When hearsay pretends to be a documentary no one wins, everyone loses, and it gets boring fast.

I would say it's extremely likely that Jimmy Saville is guilty and ruined people's lives. The problem is because the allegations were not taken seriously by police, no proper investigation ever took place and so they, at heart, are still only allegations. There lies the real blunder. This documentary assumes he's guilty, but really you can't assume this just from hearsay even if there is a lot of it and it's likely true. That's why the judicial process is so essential. Without it, the victim's only have the media to expound their pound of flesh, and as seen when the media were lauding praise on Jimmy Saville previously, the media could give an F about actual justice, they just want ratings and an interesting story. Because the allegations were not taken seriously justice is stuck and mob justice takes over which as we see today is abhorrent because when it happens it doesn't have to be connected to evidence and so robs victims of actual justice. The mob justice all too common today is a symptom of the disease of looking the other way and not investigating rationally and practically and patiently before. When you ignore something that might be something it always will become something way worse later whether it was something or not in the first place. Investigate as soon as possible to avoid the cancer later on. Otherwise everything will feel empty and hollow later because the substance that would have been there if you looked into it is missing. There now lies a lonely void.
