About
"A media witch-hunt dissected with quiet fury"
Based on a real case, this two-part British drama follows a retired schoolteacher who becomes the tabloid press's prime suspect after his tenant is murdered, despite having done nothing wrong. It's a quietly furious character study of reputation destroyed by rumour, speculation and sensationalist reporting, rather than a whodunit. The pace is deliberate and the tone bleak, carried almost entirely by a devastating central performance that captures humiliation, confusion and quiet dignity under siege. It's less about solving a crime than watching an ordinary man's life get dismantled by public suspicion.
a career-best performance capturing dignity crumbling under relentless public and press cruelty.
you want a mystery plot rather than a slow, angry character study.
