Manhunt (2019–2021)

Gripping true drama but led veiwer to conclude "Did police mess up"

[7/10 · 8 January 2019]

This story brings nothing but sadness as i watched this good adaption of this horrendous and vile crime. The casting of martin clunes was a good choice as he captured the real drama and the casting was o.k. The only problem i have is that if it is true that police could have stopped Levi Bellfield sooner but made mistakes with a (CCTV) tapes mixup, as one officer should have check a new (CCTV) tape but check one that already had been checked again. Their was also the report of a stollen car that levis girl friend ownned going missing around time of a murder and reported but no action was taken. Then when they did car owner check of livi's cars they did not check his wifes car ownership record. The program also showed the hard work that had taken placed bringing him to justice. That said i do appreciate the hard work of investigating suck a crime. This drama did not answer questions why and maybe oneday his girlfriend will speak about it but how does a man of 5 children with daughters kill young women. police collusion with press: There was also hints of collusion and police bribery which led to a national phone hacking scandle,where the press had inside information from police and hacked a dead girls answerphone message. I just hope these women can now rest in peace and the papers and media should stop now cashing in on this crime.
