I had seen a true crime documentary about this case but of course it wasn't detailed as this series . The acting is fantastic by all the actors . The teenagers portraying the ' wayward teenagers' are brilliant . This series evokes a range of emotions . Rebecca the writer is portrayed as egotistical , selfish and quite nasty . She is only concerned about one of the murderers who she defends, is friends with and she wants him to be freed . She doesn't care about Reena at all . Excellent acting . The policewoman Cam is Rebecca's childhood friend and recently becomes her lover . She does not understand Rebecca not caring about the murder victim. Cam is a likeable character . The actor who portrays Cam's adopted father is also a very good actor . Some of the characters are fictitious as are some scenes . There is a statement explaining this.
The series shows how a Hindu Punjabi couple arrive in Canada and are not accepted and are met with racism . Then Jehovah Witnesses exploit this and gets the couple to convert into their religion. It wasn't shown how centuries of a rich Indian culture and Hindu religion are then ignored and wiped out by the couple just so they could belong to a small group of people . However , the majority of Canadians would not have accepted the couple and they would have still be met by racism in all areas of their lives . What is odd is that they still give their children Hindu names The series does touch on racism but not enough . In the 50s 60s and 70s there was a lot of racism against Indian people in Canada , the US and the UK .
The series showed the mother who was a staunch JW , put rules on to her eldest daughter . She's portrayed as a monster . She tells Reena not to covert material possessions yet she coverts her 'jumkas' , her gold earrings . The mother also has a walk in closet full ofbeautiful saris, lovely handbsgs etc etc .
Reena is teased and bullied at school for being hairy. When Reena is shaving her legs , her mother barges in and tells her not to shave .
Reena's parents must have known at all the bullying at school but did nothing about it . The father is portrayed as a wimp and a weirdo .
The parents think that giving Reena a nice home is enough . They didn't bother talking to her or trying to understand her . They just put strict rules on to her . She had a horrible and lonely home life As a result Reena rushed to a group of wayward girls who she thought accepted her and liked her . Reena was very naive and trusting .
Raj Reena's uncle is Reena's is portrayed as a nice guy . He tries to help Reena and buys her designer boots . However , he doesn't do enough to help Reena
The main murderer is a psychopath . She uses her friends and manipulates everyone around her . Her mother and stepfather are happy with her behaviour . They adore her . They don't care about what she did to Reena . We are waiting to see episode 8 ,her trial . She is a very unlikeable character . So the actresss has done very well
There is only one episode left . That is ridiculous . They should have dropped all 8 episodes together .
