Watchseries; Growing up in Liverpool I've heard A lot about this disaster and the woman who started the campaign for justice for the victims.
But sadly she died years before the victims got justice. It great to see her story finally be told all these years later.

Anne watchseries. An enormous , heart-breaking and complicated story is told with brilliant writing in a concise , clear and moving way .
The cast are magnificently understated , the superb music score adds tension , and the Direction is taut and emotional .
This film will deserve awards but it's greatest award is that it does Justice to the narrative for the families involved
I urge everyone to watch and discover the REAL story about Hillsborough .

An important and incredible story is ruined by a cast phoning-in performances that literally appear to be read from cue-cards.
None more than Maxine Peake who seems to be turning up and churning out.
I'm not an expert so I don't know if this is down to poor acting craft or poor direction but it's so frustrating.

A hard hitting adaptation of the incredible courage and tenacity of the Hillsborough survivors, families and friends.
Anyone who is not affected by the first episode of this series must be made of stone. Gut wrenching.

The way ordinary working class people were treated by both the Police and Govt having lost their loved ones due to police mismanagement boardered on Evil. The rush by senior police officers to cover their own hides at the cost of the dead was nothing short criminal and the Newspapers were just as bad. The attempt to lay the blame for the deaths on the dead or surviving fans was Evil, however lets gets something straight I do not blame the rank and file police officers apart from the ones that lied to support the story put out by the polices PR machine. What those people did to the parents of the dead was disgusting, trying to cover their own asses, evil B'strds, these people are paid to protect the people. Now to the drama itself, the acting is top notch, understated but dramatic where needed. It must be very difficult to relay a story like this, you must show the grief but also the anger while being respectful to the deceased, not easy but this episode was spot on. I hold a special phrase for The Sun newspaper, Scumbags, from top to bottom and BTW not a lot has changed but for the fact most ppl catty a camera with them 24/7 so these ppl cannot get away with what they got away with back then, if they could they still would.

This was a heartbreaking watch. It was television drama at its very finest on every level. The story of Hillsborough has been told many times, but this drama took it to a new level. The pin-point attention to detail and the acting was of the highest calibre. One of ITV's finest productions in recent memory. They have done Anne Williams and the victims of Hillsborough proud.
