Apparently, this TV series and the book that it is based on. Take a lot of "dramatic license" with the actual events that took place. It is an interesting drama, with good acting, plot and production values. I would like to think that what actually happened in the case. Is not too totally different from how it is portrayed in this series. If Mr. Conan Doyle did help right a wrong that was done to an innocent man. That's enough for me, and I think it is good that this series brings the story to light, and gives a well known author. Another reason to be admired by people familiar with his books.
(Unfortunately, because of a technical problem on my streaming service. I was unable to see the second episode of the series, and was only able to watch the first and third episodes of the original three).
