The Twelve

Kate Lawson stands trial for the murder of Claire, her niece, despite having no body, The Crown make a convincing case for the prosecution, A Jury of twelve have to decide whether she is guilty or innocent.

Overall, it's good, but one thing I have to point out, it's taken me four months to go from start to finish, and there's something in that. Some episodes are truly excellent, some are agonising.

What would have made a huge difference, is if had been over six episodes, at ten, it's just way too long, it drags on far too long.

ITV clearly got frustrated with it, and I imagine so did the viewers, which is why it ended up being shown at random, late times, I get why people got frustrated with it.

I would have liked more focus on the Kate story itself, too much filler when it came to the jurors, some stories were interesting, some weren't.

Interesting to see how the system works, and how day to say stresses can have a big impact on a Jury, it can be a tough thing to do.

Of course Sam Neill is wonderful, when isn't he, but he's in some good company here, I have to highlight Brooke Satchwell, I think she's excellent as the tormented mother, walking on eggshells. Standout for me, Kate Mulvany, with that hair and those lips, she's packing charisma, I really rate her.

7/10.
