Das britische Crime-Drama basiert auf einem wahren Fall: Im März 2011 verschwindet in Swindon im Südwesten Englands die 22-jährige Sian O’Callaghan nach einem Barbesuch spurlos. Superintendent Stephen Fulcher untersucht den Fall. Er findet heraus, dass acht Jahre zuvor ein Mädchen im Ort auf ähnliche Art und Weise verschwunden ist. Seine Ermittlung führt ihn bald zu dem Taxifahrer Christopher Halliwell, den er verdächtigt, Sian entführt zu haben. In der Hoffnung, die Vermisste noch retten zu können, überschreitet Fulcher die Regeln des Erlaubten – und gefährdet damit sowohl den Fall als auch seine Karriere. (MagentaTV)

The subject is great, no doubt about that, but in that execution I missed a bit more emphasis on originality, so I could say that I am looking at something really good. Martin Freeman is definitely a good investigator, he is actually good wherever he appears. However, it's worse with the camera, which apparently wants to refer to a popular morning show from West Germany - Lenssen and co. It bothered me a lot. Shaky, pseudo-themed, that kind of camera that flickers in front of the viewer's eyes and tries to create emphasis on reality, as if the viewer were right there. I fought with it a lot and when I finally accepted it, I was actually fighting with the fact that the British are sharpening the knife with this case for quite a long time and could have wrapped it up easily two episodes earlier. The subject is precise and accurate, but the processing is slightly predictable.

Generally speaking, I always like to watch film stories based on true events, if only because I often learn something I had no idea about before. But with A Confession in particular, I was a bit bored at times. Moreover, I was not completely satisfied with the final trial, as it could have been a bit more elaborate. On the other hand, I have to admit that the craftsmanship is very good. With the overall rating, however, I'm going one star lower than I originally intended because it's one of those series you watch once and that's it. (65%)
