This is a good policy. I recently watched "The Investigation" (Efterforskningen), a Danish TV dramatisation of the investigation into the murder of Kim Wall in 2017. Something I realised after a while is that the accused is never named nor shown or heard in the show, at all.
There's no detail lost, it's an in-depth retelling, it has all the information you need to get an understanding of the case. It also doesn't feel forced – it took me a while to notice it.
I believe the show does justice to the victim without giving anything to the perpetrator, and it's refreshing.
- JackFr 6y ago"the show does justice to the victim" -- I'm not sure what that means, whether it can be meaningful. I imagine most victims would rather just be left alone, including the dead ones.
- dzmien 6y agoI can't imagine that the family of the victim would experience any "justice" from the mass consumption of their grief and pain for entertainment.
- danpalmer 6y agoFair point, maybe I took that too far. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I felt the show was as respectful to the victim as possible.
