The Witness Reviews

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 💖

don't waste your time..Just watch the documentary..more better

10/10
Watched: 8/2/26

It was good. The pacing held up, visuals were sharp, and the performances felt authentic. Some scenes dragged, but overall, it left a strong impression.

Kinda sad and somewhat disappointing ending but makes sense as it’s based on a real story. Nice

Slow and boring for 3 episodes. The real story was interesting but how they told it, meh

Show was so good

Good, i watched the documentary before this and they left much out.

8/10 good doc!

really interesting

THE CHILD ACTOR WAS IMPRESSIVE. The casting was great, I do recommend watching the doc first and then get a deeper look on the family dynamics they had going on in their exile

Great depiction of the horrible true crime

7/10 horrible man

Wouldn’t watch again but was fine

I think this could’ve been a lot better. The content was there but it felt way too rushed and a bit forced. The documentary is much more worthwhile a watch imo

7/10
