Episode Reviews

During the episodes, your're thinking: 'This lad was 15-16 years old when he started and everyone in the town knew who did it, where was his mum?" It's interesting to see the mother's side of the story and how she experienced it. Sadly, you get the feeling the mother is overprotective and not able to put any blame on her son. She blames autism, the police ('Why can't they check if he's using a phone') and the social workers for not intervening enough. At the same time, she agrees to put him in his own flat, away from any oversight. The worst for me is when she blames social media for being too liberal and uncontrolled. She herself does not use them. In summary, you get a picture of how Matthew could escape the parental guide and doing what he did on the scale that he did it.
