The writing is very solid and well crafted, and the finished product, while not being perfect, is well worth a watch. Go to Full Review Paul Whitington Irish Independent 12/05/2016

The Truth Commissioner is a taut, engaging drama in the style of those Sunday night BBC or ITV dramas that tell a story decently, but do not leave you clamouring for more. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/28/2016 Telling drama about secrets and lies in Northern Ireland, which is perhaps appreciated more if you know a little about the history of the troubles there as a lot of the main characters are clearly based on known members of former paramilitary forces and current politicians there. See more 08/28/2016 I like Roger Allam very much, but the dialogue and direction in this production was poor. The subject is of course very uncomfortable, and we could definitely see the analogies. The Swedish-drama-stylie background music didn't help at all. See more Read all reviews
