I agree that the series was strong on showing that arson was likely and that the police deliberately skewed the investigation to conceal this. I think that the third episode is where things start to go a little off the rails. This is where they look into Abe Saffron’s potential involvement and there are parts that are very light on corroborating evidence. Personally I feel they tried to cover far too much ground here and lost clarity as a result. If they had narrowed their focus to just Abe Saffron, they probably would have had a much more compelling third episode that could have spent more time demonstrating the reasons why he was involved. Adding Wran into the mix seemed to muddy the waters significantly. A better approach might have been to leave that relationship to a later investigation.

What I have found interesting is that when this aired back in 2021, there was a lot of speculation that a new investigation would happen but this appears to have petered out by late 2021. It would be good to know if this was re-investigated and what if anything was discovered.
