| Elevator Pitch |
Spotlight is a Boston Globe investigation team, who are directed by their new editor to look into cases of child abuse by priests. Their discoveries shake the Catholic church around the world. |
| Content |
This is a drama about journalists, not about children or priests. And the script keeps you on track and is not too distressing. |
| A View |
Of course we know how it all turned out so one aspect of the drama is denied to the writers. But nevertheless it is gripping stuff. I only looked at my watch once. |
