    Yes, I thought it was riveting. I liked that it left a lot up to the imagination, for instance about how involved he actually was with the crime etc. It was interesting in that you were rooting for him even though you kind of knew what he had done. Excellent film.

    I only caught the second half but was glued to the screen. The ending was heart breaking.

    Best thing I've seen in a while. If you missed it, I'm sure it will get repeated on More4 soon enough.

    Its stayed with me all day long and really made me think about those guys in the Jamie Bulger case from a different perspective. Its on 4OD if you have that, I highly recommend checking it out. Great performances, really well shot, just really really brilliant.

    I thought Boy A was fantastic tv. I was thinking about it all day today. I never thought I would feel sympathy for a child killer. TV like this has the power to change peoples opinions about very serious and emotive matters.

    I agree, it was one of the best TV dramas I've seen in a long while. It was very well written. It wasn't black and white and left you thinking about it long after it was over. Well done to the Irish boys behind it!
