Firstly, immense respect to Saville's victims who were so brave in facing the camera.
Steve Coogan was good, I've always said he looks and sounds like Saville so the casting was a no brainer I would imagine. It was well acted and directed throughout and that's why I give it a high rating.
I was bought up with Saville on our TV's and even wrote to Jim'll Fix It once, thank goodness I didn't get "chosen".
I knew that this would be challenging to watch but as the episodes progressed I became more uncomfortable and uneasy with the content.
The scene with the little boy Kevin, although it wasn't explicit in any way, I found really stuck in my mind and I can't "un-see" it unfortunately. Absolutely abhorrent on a scale not even high enough to rate.
How Saville was allowed to persist in his evil ways with all the warning signs and red flags is totally unbelievable.
As with wars, sadly the human race appears to learn nothing from history as they still go on, and I've no doubt that this is going on even now with people turning blind eyes and enabling.
After watching it I just felt depressed, I didn't feel enlightened, that justice has been or will be served on people like Saville.
It's simply his story, end of.
I wouldn't recommend watching it, we all know the evil he committed, it's rather pointless reminding us.
