Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 2h
4/5
It is an instructive and important depiction of the blatant abuse of power. And also the gobsmacking recklessness of a man with so very much to lose, who has now burnt his bridges. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) 2h
5/5
Clunes delivers an extraordinary portrayal that captures the body language, demeanour and menace of the man without descending into impersonation. Go to Full Review Helen Hawkins The Arts Desk 2h
3/5
Ryan’s grooming by Edwards did not appear on the eventual charge sheet, and his true identity has never been revealed. So Burt’s script represents something of a journalistic scoop, though not as fully formed a drama as viewers might like. Go to Full Review Rebecca Cook metro.co.uk 2h
3/5
