To feel a programme dramatising Shannon Matthew's disappearance is in poor taste?

I watched it. I quite enjoyed it. (I think Sheridan Smith is amazing.). But it doesn't sit quite right with me. I want to be able to say why, but I can't explain it. Maybe because a real life case of a nine year old's abuse doesn't feel like something that should be used for entertainment? Wondering if anyone agrees and can articulate it better? Or whether it's actually an important topic to talk about and I'm being stupid. I honestly don't know. Would appreciate mumsnet thoughts!

Lass, no-one claims that Shannon Matthews suffered less harm than the McCann children. The point is that you can't claim that this programme would inevitably be more distressing to her than programmes about Madeleine McCann would be to her family, or indeed the many programmes about many real-life crimes would be to the various victims and their relatives. Where is the cut-off point, and why is it there and nowhere else?
