Watched the first 2 episodes last night thought it would be better but I'll continue with it lol

I watched the first episode last night. Thought it was only okay. It was a bit all over the place. I'm wondering why 'Lizzie James' was portrayed as being an Irish policeman. I'm open to correction, but as far as I'm aware her real identity was never know so I just though it a bit odd that she was portrayed as being an Irish policewoman in the Met. Surely that would be identifying if she actually was Irish?

Thanks, I've looked at reviews on line, think I might give it a swerve!

I know nothing about the case so kind of went into it blind. It's okay so far and will watch the second episode. It did seem t fly by to be fair.

@DCICassieStuart Yeah did think it was weird she was Irish. Maybe Niamh can't do a convincing English accent (although thought she would have been able to)

Oh my goodness I’ve just finished this series and the bit at the end where they did the catch up made me bawl
Just ended up reading about Rachel Nickells partner and son and cried a bit more!

I was familiar with the case beforehand and just found this show considerably underwhelming. Wouldn’t recommend.
