Watched the first episode yesterday and South Wales Police don't seem to have a very good reputation. Looking forward to the rest of this story as I don't recall it at the time.

I agree about South Wales Police. I recently watched another documentary about Lynette White. This was a particularly famous case. Where, despite an eye witness seeing a single white man acting suspiciously outside her flat at the time the murder was committed, Cardiff Police managed to fit up 5 black men for the crime.
I have also just watched The Innocence Files on Netflix. This included some shocking miscarriages of justice. Many of them seem to conform to a pattern. They often seem to be high profile cases, where the police are put under pressure. They then seem to be happy to convict anyone. Once they have done this, they seem more determined to stick to their guns, and will avoid admitting that they have made a mistake, at all costs. This continues even when it is blatantly obvious that they have jailed the wrong man. When the priority of the police is to get a conviction, truth and justice disappear.

Cant find a trailer.
