Definitely worth a watch, even though it was quite frightening ....and VERY REAL.
THE DETECTIVES: FIGHTING ORGANISED CRIME on BBC2 last night, 1st episode of 5
Just watched it and was very good but the sentences dished out in these types of programmes never seem to be long enough in my opinion.
Definitely agree with you there....... It would be better if they had to serve the whole sentence too, and not be allowed out after half or two-thirds of the sentence, to go back to reoffending .....as the majority of them do.
Though the fact that the gang was targeting known Drug Dealers for kidnapping and ransom demands, made it marginally more palatable.
Freddie Highmore thriller Bates Motel recently left Amazon Prime Video but the series has already found a new home with the BBC.
A prequel series to Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller Psycho,the show’s five-season run presented a new spin on the well-known story.
Bates Motel arrives on BBC iPlayer on Sunday 21st February 2021, with episodes also being broadcast weekly on the BBC One from Tuesday 23rd February, with a double bill beginning at 10.45pm.
The series is inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film Psycho and serves as a modern-day prequel to the events we see in the famous film.
The show focuses on a young Norman Bates and his mother, Norma, following the death of Norman’s father and their purchasing of the Seafairer motel, in Oregon.
In the first season the motel’s original violent owner breaks in to the establishment before eventually mother and son murder him and decide to dispose of the body in secret.
Have just finished watching all 5 series was good. The on screen relationship between Norman and Norma was very well acted.

Just finished watching all episodes of this and it was good. This must be one of the most baffling cases I've watched so far,with so many different versions of events but definitely worth a watch.

Yeah, I watched it last week. I think he was guilty.

He probably was but was the threshold of beyond all reasonable doubt reached ?
Beyond a reasonable doubt is the legal burden of proof required to affirm a conviction in a criminal case. In a criminal case, the prosecution bears the burden of proving that the defendant is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. This means that the prosecution must convince the jury that there is no other reasonable explanation that can come from the evidence presented at trial. In other words, the jury must be virtually certain of the defendant’s guilt in order to render a guilty verdict. This standard of proof is much higher than the civil standard, called “preponderance of the evidence,” which only requires a certainty greater than 50 percent.
