What spoiler?  It's been in the public domain for ten years now.  I know it's a TV programme but it's based on reality, not fiction. 

Easy enough to not know what happened though. I'm learning a lot about what went on from this. I was aware of what happened to Rhys, but I don't live on Merseyside anymore, don't watch the news, stopped reading the echo and don't read other papers, so I only heard little bits and had no idea of the sentence.

The three episodes so far all easily found on YouTube. Watched them over past couple of days. Brilliantly acted but tough viewing given the circumstances.

If you watch them on ITV player on Kodi you get no adverts so another reason to watch this.

You may be missing the point on the Matthews mom, but wait til its finished first. The courtroom scene helps with my claim there.

That was very good to be honest. Glad Yeats got more time the scummy bastard. Some right filth in that group of people including the parents.

Read up on those you gt out of Prision too, scum of the Earth. The parents getting time was interesting also, would have liked to see that story unfold in the series in more detail thnough but an excellent show all the same.

My wife spat the C word out at that bit, shes not a fan of swearing. It was a fine line between the actors and actuality, I think that's what made it such a good progrqmme.

Just watched the last one, and its made me even more angry than I was when I first remember it all happening. I still remember the feeling on Merseyside in the days after the shooting. I remember the whisperings of who done it; and everyone seemed to know. I remember watching the Everton game on television the day the parents stepped out, and I remember applauding with the rest of the fans, there bravery.

Watching this - just makes you realise how almost impossible the task would be to lose someone in this way; whilst I'm not a parent, I can well imagine being totally torn apart. How do you get on day to day with everyday normal mundane tasks, when nothing like that would matter anymore.

For Mercer to say what he said - and for the little remorse from the words he has spoken in prison, just makes me think that actually some of humanity are so lost - its pointless ever giving them a normal life.

I have to wonder when he comes out what type of life can he possibly lead? Will tax payers be paying to hide him, like the bulgers?

Sometimes things like this - just makes me feel there has to be more than Prison/Life outside for these people. What - I wouldn't like to speculate. And it isn't for this thread anyway.

Very well acted, really well done, and I'm just glad the parents are back together and have each other for support.

Ive often thought that as well. Mercers mother was a £50 a go prostitute at the time of the killing, he's probably never been any guidance or discipline in his life, I think if you dont get this from an early age then theres a good chance a lad will grow up without any conscience, they have no guilt or remorse for their victims, it's all about them and nobody else. as you say some reach a stage when there beyond help. how you deal with them ive no idea but I think we have to start looking at some parents attitudes in the hope of reducing the amount of young kids with this attitude. if their kids are starting to get out of control and they dont seem interested or bothered then something should be done, which is for another debate as well.
It might take our producers five minutes to find 60 economists who feared Brexit and five hours to find a sole voice who espoused it.

Mr. Yeats is a right scumbag indeed, seen a real pic of him and he is the image of what a horrible little srote i thought he was like.

Watched the first 2 episodes on wednesday and finishing it off tonight, such a sad story that's weird to view considering I used to hang around with 1 of those that was involved about a year before this happened. Bad, bad people.

Got round to watching this and it’s a superb TV show. Stephen Graham is a good actor. I wasn’t really familiar with the case, I knew Rhys was murdered but not much more. Superb police and forensic work.
So sad, and a hard watch.
RIP Rhys
