Rachel Cooke New Statesman May 22
It is a strange thing, to be moved by luggage; to be brought almost to tears by the sight of an unwieldy suitcase or a bulging holdall. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) May 21
4/5
A police procedural, then, but also a tribute to the Lockerbie community and the care its residents showed towards the victims. Go to Full Review Nick Hilton Independent (UK) May 20
3/5
This show tries to find a new angle, grappling with the challenges of international cooperation, but, for all its elegance and sensitivity, ends up feeling like an unnecessary addition. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) May 22
The BBC drama is the superior piece of the two, but whether it adds anything to our understanding is a question that cannot be answered till the case is closed and everyone accepts the outcome. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dave C Jun 14 A solid enough drama. I enjoyed the variety of the main characters, and found them all to be developed enough to tell the story. Some more attention should have been paid to bridging gaps in timeline between episodes 5 & 6, but that's more a niggle than a major issue See more Eddie M Jun 3 A Mish mash of dramatic interpretations around the horrific tragedy of Pan Am 103. Shines a (very favourable) light on the hardy Scots investigators (Bell) and on the US side ( Thurman & Marquise). Meanwhile that incompetent lot in Germany and Malta have a part to play too. For a drama with 6 hours of airtime, I was impressed how little focussed on Heathrow Airport and London. That was where the 'suitcase' made it last and fateful ingestion after all. Great cast, excellent locations and superbly shot. The writing leaves much to consider but not as intended. See more Read all reviews
