What to Expect

PremiereLens read

The Hack builds its suspense through documents, sources and tense interviews rather than a rush of revelations. Its newsroom and police procedural threads move patiently, letting pieces of evidence click into place as a cover-up becomes clearer. Powerful people put pressure on those asking questions, so even a conversation can carry the threat of consequences for pursuing the truth.

Old case files give the murder inquiry a different texture from the journalist’s work on tabloid phone hacking. The investigations unfold side by side across one continuous, short-run story, set in Britain during the 2000s and 2010s. As both inquiries advance, the growing picture of concealed wrongdoing is matched by the personal cost of refusing to leave it alone.
