Toxic Town

Where to start, wow, I couldn't stop watching, the cast that was put together was perfect, most of the accents close enough to spot on, this is a real injustice true story that rocked the town, but the accuracy of the story telling and the whole sense of the characters and feelings was brought to life on screen perfectly.

Hopefully this is point in history that is taken onboard so this or anything similar never happens again.

Although the likeness of the main characters are not similar I thought the mannerisms for the McIntyre family was spot on, I know this as I live in the area the show is based.

This is a must watch. 10/10.

Wow, this is a great story! Its realistic, fast pace and its solid performances make it an ideal proposal for those who enjoy stories based on real events about justice, corruption and citizen resistance.

The most powerful thing about the story is its human dimension, it not only portrays the legal case, but also the emotional and economic consequences that the fight has on the protagonists and their families.

Some things in the evolution of these families can be frustrating, although due to the dynamics of the story it never becomes annoying.

A lot happens in just 4 episodes, and I watched the entire series in two sittings.

Top notch! Don't miss it!

Well done docudrama told in 4 crisp episodes. Corby, a town like many others, is affected by corporations in collusion with local councils destroying their town and lives with their toxic poisons. And rarely brought to account by most.

When the women of the town band together after they realize their babies, conceived around the same time, have similar birth defects they wake up to the possibility that some substance has affected their fetuses. And they hire a lawyer to get justice.

Jodie Whittaker gives a brilliant as the main activist along with a great supporting cast including Brendan Coyle as the corrupt councillor. Aimee Lou Wood is heartbreaking as the bereft mother. And Roy Kinnear is stellar as the compassionate solicitor.

Just the right length at 4 tight episodes.

9/10 Netflix.

Amazing series. Intresting and emotional story. Very likable main characters. The acting in this is incredible but especially from Jodie Whittaker and Aimee Lou Wood. Very interesting and important story I've lived in Corby since birth and the acting and settings felt like they were relatively realistic of what you would expect from ordinary Corby folks. I did notice modern shots of Corby town centre when it looked completely different to that in the 90s and early 2000s, and it did feel like there was something unnatural about how some of the streets were set out. Overall didn't impact my enjoyment of the show or the story, but just slightly off perfec.

Loved this. Love women.

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this case. I just saw the photo of Sarah, Tracey and Maggie alongside the actors who played them-beautiful. It's evident that the whole project was approached with a lot of care from everyone involved, all while keeping it engaging and entertaining. A wonderful piece of work with a clear message and beautiful portrayal of community. The final episode was very powerful, and there were even a few funny moments that seemed organic and not out of place-quite rare for these types of shows in my opinion.

Amazing performances from the cast, especially Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood (I loved Tracey), Robert Carlyle.... But honestly, everyone was so good.

I had a slight issue with the huge time jumps between each episode but I understand it's based on a true story so not much could be done about that. It's more so a compliment than a criticism-I wanted to know more about the characters! But I do appreciate that it wasn't dragged out-four episodes is perfect.

Also loved the title design (with the letters turning to dust)!
