Reception
Phil Harrison for The Guardian described it as a "tense rendering of the events " and "rightly severe on the Met’s top brass but, crucially, never forgets the story of the blameless victim – played stoically and sensitively by Edison Alcaide.".[16] Anita Singh for The Telegraph gave the series three out of five, feeling the series to be dramatic and sensationalist, and the lack of focus on Meneze as a person.[17]
