I wish I could have scored this documentary higher. I think it's so important for people to see what can happen behind closed doors and to break down the stigma of men being abused by women.

However, Channel 5 have done their usual trick of creating two episodes when the content could easily fit into one and arguably would have been more impactful that way. The use of hidden camera footage is very repetitive. I thought the 1:1 interviews with the victim and police involved were good but would've been just as effective in podcast format.

I watched this on Netflix and am a little surprised they bought it without condensing it, but I'm glad they did as it means I could watch it without ads and it'll gain a much wider audience!

I had no idea of this story before my friend told me about it. Gripping and insightful documentary which is a must see. How any person could be so evil and inflict the pain and suffering on someone she was supposed to care about is completely beyond me and inflicting that also on her three young children is completely baffling. Richard is so brave to share his story and awareness of the abuse he suffered at the hands of his wife. She is evil through and through and is not fit to be a mother. I'm completely baffled that she only got 4 years in prison after the pain and suffering she has caused not only to her husband but to her children and the physical and psychological damage she has put her family through.
