This was riveting and we binge watched the 4 episodes and then the seperate Mr Bates the true story . The latter shows how accurately was the depiction of a true (and ongoing) story.
Really well made and acted
A shocking example of how corporate management will protect their brand image. That they can do no wrong and therefore cannot admit any mistakes or errors.
No matter who has to suffer as a consequence.
And when an organisation like the post office has the power to investigate itself and is virtually a law unto itself how the senior executives abuse that power.
The lengths the post office executive would go to try to cover up software mistakes was shocking.
Even more shocking was there has been no. Prosecutions of the post office management nor Fujitsu, (The post office CEO Paula Vennells was even awarded a CBE in 2020 )
You really feel the injustice to hundreds of sub-post masters who were persecuted, prosecuted and sacked. Which went on for years, despite the fact there was plenty of evidence something was wrong and post masters themselves had been saying so for years.
The issue was described as the biggest miscarriage of justice in Brtish history (and it is still yet to be resolved)
A vivid real life example of how big companies can never be trusted to 'do the right thing'. They will always follow profit and self interest.
How chief executives when allowed to be a law unto themselves abuse this power and the arrogance that they do not have to answer to anyone. (nor have they to date)
Riveting watch.
