Inadequate and incomplete
This drama is about the kidnapping and false imprisonment of Shannon Matthews in West Yorkshire in 2008.This bizarrely has Shannon's mother Karen's friend as the protagonist. It centres on the search to find Shannon, rather than on the crime. There's nowhere near enough about Karen (who isn't shown saying or doing much), or her partner's uncle (who kidnapped and held Shannon). There's no depiction of the kidnapping or the planning of it - and Shannon isn't shown at all. That means that the viewer doesn't know much about what happened, or how heavily involved Karen was.
score 2/10
