I was excited for this show. It started out excellent. However, it bogged down in the middle, then just ended. The ending did not live up to the hype, or the opening of the series.

I am stunned to see so many negative reviews, when you look at viewing figures for this show the opinion of the General Public clearly did not share such a negative view, the show ended with more viewers then it started with.Rape must be one of the most henous crimes of all, particularly in light of the many stories worldwide. A victim asking the question why me, and why should the perpetrator be allowed to get away with it.Ioan Gruffudd and joanne froggatt are sensational throughout, such is the quality of the acting, and the writing that your sympathies switch from one character to another's, as does your anger.I think it got better as it went on, the Fifth part had me on the edge of my seat, the concluding episode also so well done, leaving us all desperate for Series Two.Bravo 9/10

I came to see this series as a fan of Ioan Gruffudd in "Forever", where he did splendid job. I'm sad it got cancelled because I really loved the series just like I fell in love with "Liar". Gruffudd is awesome actor, but what makes him even better is his co-star Joanne Froggatt. She makes this show believable. Yes there is flaws just like in any show or movie, but it didn't make me not like the show. Remember, this isn't real, this is fiction. Show has a kinda slow start, but after episode 3 it really picks up. For me this is enjoyable thriller and I am looking forward for season 2.

When I grade this 1 (awful) it is not the quality but the message I object to. In terms of sheer cinematography like directing, acting etc. this show is actually fine, but then all that professionalism is invested in a story and plot that is unbelievably biased, manipulative, political and downright hateful. The makers first introduce the accuser a very prominently neurotic woman, who only does and say irrational and annoying things and the accused, a well balanced, gentleman a great doctor and father, a rational, friendly, modest character. And just when the man is cleared of charges, something almost any viewer would be cheering for by then, things take a sudden 180 turn, but it's not the circumstances that change but in a rather unnatural, unrealistic way the characters do. The neurotic woman suddenly becomes an empathetic, courageous warrior of justice and and the gentleman doctor a wolf in sheep's clothing, a psychopathic predator enjoying his sick game with a wide sadistic grin on his face. If were to grade this show for how good an attempt it is at misandrist hate mongering and brainwashing I would give it a 10 Seriously I think third-wave feminism now has its own Jud Süss.
