This is a Netflix film about the effort to capture the people behind the 7/7 London bombings. The series starts with the moments before the bombing and then follows the mad dash to find out what happened, why and to find the the four men who tried to do it again two weeks later.
This is a very good look at what happened and how the authorities tracked down the people behind the attacks. Its riveting tale that kept me watching pretty much from start to finish. (i did all four episodes in two sittings). There is a lot of information here. It also doesn't sugar coat the authorities majpr mistake (they shot a suspected, but totally innocent man in the back of the head 7 times just to be safe).
If there is anything really wrong with the series is that the pacing of the section about the search for the July 21st attempted bombers is a little slow. After almost four hours it suddenly felt a bit draggy. Fortunately it's far from fatal and by the time I got to the end I wanted to go again.
