This was a great program, but also a rare opportunity to see the human beings, behind the offences. Stephen Merchant's character, Greg, was of particular interest, because he is an SO.

Although Greg's crime, was one of the few socially acceptable sex crimes, I thought the producers missed a trick, because they could have made him a downloader of illegal images, or an online solicitation offender. That would have opened up a much needed debate, about who is committing these types of offences and whether they really are the monsters, that the press make them out to be.

Every offence happens for a reason and each individual has their own particular circumstances, which lead them down that path. In Greg's case, it was loneliness and the lack of an appropriate sexual outlet. These are also the most common reasons, for people committing online sex offences.

The show works on two levels. First, as a thriller about a bag of stolen money, but also as a drama, about the many reasons why people commit crime. It is not always because they are just bad, or evil people. That is the way criminals are usually portrayed on TV. In real life, things are far more complicated than that.
