I recall well the original US version of this episode, so was fascinated to see how it had been adapted for the British take on its trajectory.
Most interestingly, the build-up of tension to the final courtroom denouement seemed to me almost unbearable, compared to the more humdrum treatment in the original, and the appalling revelations' impact on the characters to be far more devastating and powerful in this new interpretation. I think that is partly because of the more reserved behavioral tone of the characters according to British cultural style, but am not sure.
Also intrigued to see how deeply repressed memories of a key character were activated by a neuro-psychological tool/process I've never seen or heard of before, involving small blinking lights in front of the client's eyes. Anyone know about it?
