Catching Lightning

This is by far the best sports documentary I've ever seen, compelling viewing at its finest. My hubby made me watch this as his an old school MMA fan so he loved seeing Chuck Liddell - Pat Miletich & the greatest middleweight ever Anderson silva on this show. I watched it reluctantly because I HATE sports documentaries in general but from the get go this one had us both hooked from beginning to end. We laughed at some of the peoples stories- recounting in detail actual events and towards the end it got quite emotional. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and my hubby has actually watched it again lol.

Can't believe his still serving time in prison. His paid the price for what he done just don't get how he was sentenced to so long. No one was hurt, people make mistakes.

Brilliant watch! Need another season! 10/10

The series was brilliant! I binged watched it was interesting to hear from all the people that was involved the ufc fighters etc. I did want to see him walk free at the end! He's done years now he's done a lot of time in Morocco I do think he should be out by now people do a lot worse and get out a lot sooner. Morocco must be hard place to serve that much time listening about the cells and the conditions rats etc it's no England. It was also interesting to hear the news stories to the real story!

Really hope we will be getting a season two coming out!

This documentary was great.

To finally hear from Lee himself and see how the lengths the UK Police went to make him out to be the ring leader when clearly that isn't the case.

It's clear the Police's efforts were fuelled by disliking Lee for many years prior as they have made no attempts to go after the other two.

Lee has served his time and more. In tough conditions, he has kept quiet until now.

He should be freed. The extended sentence was completely unwarranted and is continuing to punish him and his family.

You can not infringe on human rights in this manner.

Congrats to Pat and the team! It was worth the wait.

I have no interest in MMA, have never heard of Lee Murray or this robbery but I love true crime docs so I figured I'd give it a shot. And it delivers. I was glued to the screen starting with episode two.

Episode one could've been left out entirely. It felt completely detached from the rest of the series. Just interminable fawning over this thug and his brief fighting career. MMA fans will no doubt be into this, but wasn't my jam.

Episode two onward is gripping stuff. Tons of surveillance footage and accounts from people who worked in the facility so you really get the feeling that you're experiencing the robbery as it happened. The ensuing police investigation is also extremely well done. Again, tons of detail and a fascinating play-by-play style account from police.

All in all, despite the first episode, it's an excellent series. My only only small beef is way they glorify this guy. He's no genius or fighting prodigy. Just a common street thug that loves to fight (in and out of the ring).

This documentary was incredible was glued to my seat once I put it on I couldn't stop watching and binge watched the whole thing in one go.

Loved how it looked unbiased at all the different perspectives and think that for the first time we see for our self's who Lee Murray really is and he seems very likeable which I wasn't expecting at all, my only gripe was that I wish there was more episodes as I didn't want it to end and would of liked to know more about his childhood growing up. Well done to whoever made this it was a brilliant watch and I hope they do another season maybe when he gets out to finish his story.

Brilliant watch.
