Mr Bates vs the Post Office

Watched it over the last two nights. Thought it was about two hours too long. Was bored by the third episode.

Probably would have been better condensing it into one extended episode.
Totally disagree. I have zero attention span and can get bored of a programme pretty easily, but this left me pretty gripped. Solid 7.5/10 tv
 
Amazing how fast the government are acting on this, is almost as if they need it out of the public mind because there’s a General Election coming along.

Great to see, but begs the question of why it hasn’t been taken seriously prior to the programme being aired?
You just watch. Sunak will announce the quashing of all convictions and want to take great credit for it
 
i think the bigger scandal than this is the light it shines on society and how we are now governed by the media, there is so much of this shit going on and people just dont care about it until it hits the tv or youtube and people are tried by the court of public opinion rather than the law.
public opinion !! how do they form an opinion, ? newspaper headlines are still the main influencers to a majority of the public. Say no more, from the top to bottom, the press is corrupt, deeply involved in attacking accountability, by what it ignores, due to the incestuous relationship the owners have with the governments throughout the last forty years, and the judiciary must take their share of the blame, but wont of course. There is wig ceiling that justice never breaches..
 
I have followed this for years and the most disturbing thing I find is that if this TV series wasnt made this shit would still be going on.

People are treated like scum by the corporate and business world, the Post Office were just unlucky they got caught is the way they will see it.
 
the fact it was made at all is the biggest surprise to me, " and the walls came down , all the way to hell, never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell".... for some reason, this has touched a nerve when other even worse atrocities have been given a shrug and a meh...

Showing my ignorance, but if the Post Office was nationalised, and had used this Horizon system, would this shit show still have happened?
 
Don’t see how, you needed all those stories to show the impact, that poor Asian lady who had electric shock therapy! My wife said she was on tv the other morning and she is fucked, she deserves millions in compensation for what’s happened to her.
She's lost all recollection of her life before that treatment. No childhood memories or anything. She's utterly broken.
