- 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
A truly tough watch, but well worth it.
This is absolutely heart braking to watch, I defy anybody to watch this without shedding a tear. Based on the tragic real life events of young Rhys Jones, and his horrific and tragic murder. I understand that the parents of young Rhys were involved in the production of this drama, and I think that definitely helps with the grit and realism of the show, it doesn't feel like it's been sensationalised at any point, it feels very realistic.
Fantastic performances all round, I have forever been a fan of Stephen Graham, but he has gone up a notch with this, he's proved what an incredibly powerful actor he is.
It's tough viewing, and I've watched every episode in tears, but it's a story that is worth seeing, what that poor family went through. The scenes in Goodison Park are among the most powerful I've seen in years.
9/10
