A confession is a gritty six part drama, telling the real life crimes of Christopher Halliwell, the murders of Sian and Becky. The fact that the crimes are still relatively recent, I found there to be a certain sensitivity in the way the story was told, it's presented as factual, rather then sensational, it's dramatic, but not stretched beyond belief. I wondered how they could stretch this show over six episodes, but they do, it goes from the crime to the events of the trial. You will learn the ins and outs of PACE and its right procedures. Terrific performances, Martin Freeman and Imelda Staunton especially are both superb. It contains some real life footage. The main talking point, the camera work, initially it irritated me, jumping about and zooming, after a few episodes I stopped noticing. It's excellent. 9/10.
