Review of Four Lives

Four Lives (2022)
7/10
Lots of personal pain, lots of official inconsideration

I was not aware of this case, and for the sake of thrill I did not read about it beforehand... Apparently, the Miniseries followed this to the great extent, the background and mood are well depicted, but I would have preferred not knowing-guessing who the wrongdoer was (Stephen Merchant as Stephen Port was convincing, yet evident). The question of "why" got its answer, but "how" (i.e. The bodies reaching a certain posture and place) remained a mystery...

Usually "a true story" or "based on the true events" provide additional value for a feature series, but in Four Lives the feelings of misery and impuissance prevailed too much, so it became a documentary case to me. Over the decades, the Brits have screened many real events and cases - and I have watched more versatile than this one.
