Unfortunately, this production chose to treat some common life occurrences as though it's all just a "Slag Him Off!", "Slag Him Off!", "Slag Him Off!" opportunity. It's tiring and depressing.
A man imbibes one evening and all the next day he gets comments about being breathalysed, smelling bad, etc. Does this upright hominid not know how to shower or use a breath mint? WTH with this relentless nonsense? Clearly, there's a writer/team that doesn't understand garden-variety functional alcoholism, or what a true, full-blown drinking problem looks like. Instead, they flip out over practically nothing, and verbally exaggerate incessantly. PATHETIC.
Clichés and poor choices galore: 1) A pushy, wrong-headed, nearly amoral journalist who'd rather listen to a convicted criminal provide nothing but slander and defamation on any day of the week.
2) Idiotic psychiatry/counseling scenes, consisting of repetitive interrogations and hounding, followed by a full medical confidentiality breach with an employer.
3) Family conflict on repeat, where a parent is being barred from contact, but has done little of substance to warrant that.
4) Treating a grieving, depressed person with an emotional crutch like an abnormal pariah.
5) Bad, obvious evidence 'discovery' scenes.
6) Pressuring people while they're on the phone for absolutely no legit reason ('cept fake drama).
7) A totally illogical setup involving a semi-employment scenario (unrealistic in every way), with predictably irrational risk-taking, and then a parade of undermining and backstabbing colleagues (as if they could be called that) always marching around the office right behind to lay on the pointless pressure.
I mean, a guy has a drinking problem, but the counseling he's forced into doesn't address it, then he gets sent home to do nothing but scrut around his house for open bottles to chug? Would his 'superior officer' seriously think that cutting him off would be a way for him to get his head on straight, when being a workaholic is all that's keeping him going? INSANE.
And, no one is spending their full days having to parent teenaged children unless they are disabled dependents. SO DUMB!

The Man-Outta-Place here could've been anybody named Tyrel who was uncomfortable, drank too much, and didn't belong at a weekend get-together he foolishly decided to attend in the first place. He got himself stressed out instead of chilling out, and then over-imbibed to make things worse.
And, why would anyone think it's smart to go roaming around an unfamiliar neighborhood drunk, inviting themselves to a stranger's house?
Dude, just know that when you don't want to fit in with a group (never mind the fact that thinking you can't basically makes it true), just bounce asap!!
Being disrespectful to religion isn't the greatest, but it has nothing to do with Tyrel as an individual.
Being stupid, drunk, rowdy idiots isn't behavior restricted to any one race.
Obviously all white dude-bros aren't obsessed with REM, or act like quirky, jerky, loud, dangerous schmucks, but if you meet those kind, it won't matter what your name or race is - they're probably annoying.

This drama leaves out any analysis of Who and How Delia was repeatedly failed by both law enforcement and the judicial system of the UK at every step of the way, over many years. (Although certainly all criticisms are protected and defended against by legal gags and immunity.)
All of the victims of this one serial killer, and all of the communities and families affected by his repeated (and reported) offenses, were failed by that ineffectual system for a great number of combined years, and absolutely no accountability is addressed.
But we sure do get hammered on the head (axed and stabbed, perhaps?) by how 'unconventional' Delia is. Too much focus is spent on this aspect, as if her being traumatized beyond repair is somehow something she drew onto herself by a less-than-thorough conformity. That's a pretty despicable thing to imply, and this production leans into it too heavily. Must a victim be more personally judged and investigated to either be believed or disbelieved regarding acts of crime against them by a malevolent perpetrator? This is upside-down.
They even de-fanged the best parts of her self-expression in defense by acting as though ineffective and off-based council was something she was supposed to just accept from everyone outside of her experiences. They kept offering worthless platitudes against the factual realities, and people are like 'can't you see they care about you'? Well, couldn't they see that everything they offered was full of nonsense and holes based on a total lack of actual societal support?
