-
Barring the half-hour or so covering de Menezes’s fateful journey that morning, the series fails to achieve high levels of dramatic tension. It feels more like a historical document, expository rather than gripping, made primarily to clear the victim’s name and assign blame for the bungled operation. Laudable, but not edge-of-your-seat TV.
-
Pope’s script hints incriminatingly at gaps in the story — specifically missing CCTV footage on the Tube on which de Menezes was shot — but is most effective when imagining the terse meetings behind closed doors.
-
Suspect is an enraging picture of what went wrong and how. In his desire to explore every aspect of the case, Pope is as fair to the police as he reasonably can be.
