Little Boy Blue, anyone watching

[dingit]

Very upsetting start.

Just watched the first two episodes (I'm not too sure where you are the the UK - I'm in Ireland so different schedule)

Powerful - can defiently feel the fear and the sheer irritation of the idea being a grass makes you worse than a child killer

Cocky little shits messing about in the courtroom!

The defence lawyer is a cunt.

This doesn't get any easier to watch.

I'll say it again - the acting is breathtaking.

I'm so glad I know the outcome because I'd be really worried that they'd get away with it.
I'm an Everton fan and was at the game when Rhys's parents were there

"All this for a little just" horrific

"Kid" not just

That was an awful comment. I presume that really happened. Nasty piece of work. You'd think maybe when it came down to it they might show a little remorse but no, they just cared about themselves

They were awful in court, so disrespectful. I hope they rot in jail. I'm glad the mum and dad got back together.

am so glad the mum and dad stayed together

That was brilliant. I've had to stop watching as bloody dh decided to eat his way through a family bag of popcorn and then crisps asking annoying 'who's that?' Questions all the way through.

I've just watched the last episode. I watched the first 3 the following morning as I didn't fancy watching it before bed.
I was in tears. The bastards deserved much worse.

Such a sad story, those poor parents having to witness the behaviour of those scumbags in court. (Maybe the judge was right and it helped to seal their fate.) 22 years isn't life imprisonment, Mercer will be out in his 30's. The bastard.

Was hard viewing tonight

Sean Mercer and the rest of them really are the lowest of the low, animals. Prison is too good for them

Just been reading about them, and Yates was released in 2014 after serving 5 years. Unbelievable.

Was it ever discovered who the real targets of the shooting were? It was never really mentioned in the program, even when the forensic guy was explaining how Rhys was shot. Call me naive, but you'd think if they were rival gang members they would be happy to shop the murderer and be a witness?

The parents should've been jailed for life too. Their contribution in the upbringing of these scumbags was too blame, their cover up, there lack of morals and decency.

Whatever sentence they got - wasn't long enough.

Cydonia there wasn't one. Mercer was intent on 'shooting someone that day'

His intended victim was Wayne Brady a Strand gang member.

Did the police never get him to testify then?

I think there is a wall of silence. They wouldn't grass on each other.

That was devastating to watch, the acting was outstanding.

Yes I suppose. In a way I'm glad it's finished, the first episode had me in bits. I think they way they filmed and acted it made it so real, I actually felt sick afterwards.

Why didn't Dave Kelly get a promotion? Because he wasn't a 'yes' man? What a kick in the teeth. I don't know the name of the actor who played him but he was bloody brilliant.
You have to really admire Jordan's mum for standing up to the bullies and testifying. That takes guts.

Stephen Graham played Dave Kelly.
He is an outstanding actor. I could watch him all day long.
