Conviction: Murder In Suburbia

Conviction: Murder in Suburbia, BBC2

“The word ‘suburbia’ was the hook to make you watch, but quickly this established itself as a need-to-know mystery worthy of Agatha Christie. Innocent or guilty? Right now I feel a burning need to know.”
James Jackson, The Times

“Conviction: Murder in Suburbia offers plenty to intrigue and tantalise the little grey cells. The second part will be well worth seeing, if only for Razzell’s long-haired, gravel-voiced solicitor, who looks like a guitarist from a Stones tribute band.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

“It is more CSI than Happy Valley, if it was a drama. Nothing wrong with that, if you’re not expecting more. And the case is fascinating.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

“Programmes like these are as fascinating as they are uncomfortable, in the way they turn people’s fortunes into storylines, make us view justice in a different way.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
