Raoul Moat is released from Prison, he shoots his ex partner Sam Stobbart, and shoots her new partner Christopher Brown dead, Sam has convinced Moat that her partner was a Policeman, prompting him to target The Police.
A very good three part series, it's a crime that I'm sure lives on for many, back in 2010 this story was huge, Moat was quite literally the moat wanted man in Britain.
The case highlighted several failings in the legal system, and highlighted the depths some journalists will sink to for a story.
Mark Stokoe is terrific as Moat, he looks like him, he adds a degree of menace too, he played the part well, very well supported by Lee Ingleby, Sonya Cassidy, Vineeta Rishi and several others.
Very well produced, they tied some original footage in very nicely, it looks great, the pacing is also a key success.
The one thing that I couldn't help but look at the whole way through, Sim's hair, she could well have stepped in from 1952, they could have toned it down a little.
There was one line that was white significant, people won't forget the name Raoul Moat, how true and incredibly sad is that. Learning the fate of that poor Policeman, that was upsetting to learn.
Very good series, 8/10.
