The Witness

The ending of episode 3 had me on the verge of tears. The dialogue between Alex and the psychiatrist felt more like justice than the actual trial. It so perfectly summed up the cause of this entire tragedy, aside from the overall police negligence. Genuinely such a heartbreaking story, and I'm glad the creators didn't oversaturate the key events like most "true story" media. It felt respectful and grounded. That said, I do think something, or a few things, were missing. The performances from Bolger and Stamp were brilliant. In general, the casting was great.

I think I didn’t realise the relief an actual conviction brings a family. Obviously I know it good to bring people to justice but the weight that hangs over the victims family not out of fear but the fact justice is not served.
Series felt long at times but family aspect was gud

What a sad story. Had to queue the documentary immediately after. The ending was nice though 💖

I didn’t like the framing at the end of the killer.
