- TriviaPerhaps surprisingly to some, the actors portraying Rhys' parents Melanie (Mel) and Steve, are both actually Irish doing a "Liverpool accent". Considering the history of Liverpool and Irish (Roman Catholic) moving there, that may have been a deliberate casting choice with their ability to do a suitable accent, are accomplished-enough actors with the gravitas to carry the roles, and they both look enough like Rhys' parents to carry the series along.
- GoofsThe setting is 2007 and 2008, but the uniformed police officers all wear the ribbon of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal, given away in 2012.

Featured review
Exquisite drama.
An utterly captivating drama, perfectly executed over four episodes with not a single flaw to be found.
Top-notch writing, precision directing, exemplary performances from the entire cast, seamless editing, with music and cinematography that intelligently don't make themselves noticed (so nothing showy or artsy, just excellent scene-setting) perfectly paced with an overall sense of all-round good storytelling.
Every moment of this true-life drama was suffused with authenticity, integrity, and verisimilitude, with no audience manipulation to be detected (which doesn't mean it wasn't there; just that it was artfully and subtly done). This is a rare gem that is worth watching more than once, although the subject matter is grim. Top marks.
