Description

Every episode of this series takes place within the confines of an interrogation room: none of the events discuseed are actually depicted. As an anthology series, there is very little storyling continued between episodes, so some episodes can easily be skipped. S1E1: this episode centres around the interrogation of a man suspected of sexually assaulting and murdering his stepdaughter. Within the first minute of the episode an interrogator describes the teenage girl being found dead without any underwear on. The sexual nature of this crime is alluded to again throughout the episode. It is mentioned that, during trips away with his stepdaughter (the murdered girl), the man being interrogated had always opted to book a double rather than a twin hotel room, and that a post-mortem had shown the victim not to have been a virgin when she died. The accused stepfather later alleges that his stepdaughter had been engaged in a sexual relationship with her (adult) sports coach, and that he (the stepfather) had become violent when she confessed to this. The stepfather alleges that it was this coach who assaulted and killed the girl. Nothing is shown on-screen and the entire episode takes place within the confines of the interrogation room. S2E2: this episode involves the interrogation of a man accused of raping a work colleague. The events are discussed in detail but none of them are shown on screen. S2E3: this episode features a woman who acts as a vigilante paedophile hunter. She described posing as a 14 years old girl online and exchanging explicit messages with an older man.
