★★★★ (4 out of 4)
Since this British series started streaming on Netflix in March, the buzz has been deafening about the concept of shooting each of its hour-long episodes in one dazzling, unbroken take. But even these technical wonders pale next to the performances of three actors who raise their craft to the level of art. I’m talking about superb Stephen Graham as the aggrieved father, newcomer Owen Cooper, who’s simply stupendous as his accused son, and indelible Erin Doherty as the therapist who brings out the monster lurking just behind the face of presumed innocence. One more thing: If Graham, Cooper and Doherty aren’t standing on the Emmy stage come September, please join me in lodging an ugly loud protest. Here’s the review I wrote at the time for ABC News and Good Morning America.
