"The Victim" - Scottish crime miniseries

Just watched this four-part miniseries. Along with “Endeavour” it may be the best TV show I’ve seen this year.
Kelly MacDonald plays a woman whose young son was murdered many years ago. She is accused of doxxing her son’s suspected killer.
Not cheerful watching (and the Scottish accents can be challenging at times) but there’s not one false note here. Riveting.

Yeah, I watched it on Britbox a couple of months ago Very well done.

Another recommendation: the British cop series “Unforgotten”. It’s about a cold cases squad. The first series, of six episodes, stars Tom Courtenay, who won a British Academy Television Award for Best Supporting Actor for it. Tom played my favorite character, Pasha, on Doctor Zhivago, and I’ve always liked him. The first series is devastating and well worth the watch. There are three series of the show, each exploring a different murder.

I agree that “The Victim” is well worth watching. (I believe it was PBS that showed it a few months ago, which is when I saw it.)

It’s well-written as well as well-acted. Moral complexity abounds, and there are no cheap or easy answers to the questions raised.

So tell me about Dailymotion. Is it free?

I believe it’s free with registration. But I think a lot of the stuff on it might be pirated.

I could be wrong on both counts.

No registration needed that I can see. Dailymotion has been around a long time, I’d browse in private mode with an adblocker but I don’t think it’s risky.
