Just started this, by the same team as Boiling point, all shot in a continuous take. Gripping stuff, highly recommend it.

A 13 year old boy is accused of Murdering a fellow class mate.

The first two episodes were strong, but the last two fell a bit flat. The series is shot in a continuous one-take style, with each episode capturing a single moment in real time.

This style works really well when there’s a dynamic mix of characters and interaction to drive the story. Unfortunately, it hinders the final two episodes, they feel unnecessarily slow and stretched due to the lack of scene breaks or shifts in perspective.

I'd agree, episode 1 and 2 were by far the strongest. Still over all impressive stuff, some great acting here.

Id have liked to see
an episode in court or more about the other 2 boys involvement as it felt like there was more to tell
 
Episode 3 , some of the best TV acting I've seen in years . Erin Doherty ( young princess Anne in the crown) was outstanding. Young Owen Cooper has a great future ahead of him and as ever superb performance from Stephen Graham and Asley Walters.

Ashley has definitely grown up since TopBoy and must be destined for a part in a huge blockbuster.
