The TRC in South Africa did NOT WORK the way they are suggesting it did!

I actually enjoyed this episode best of all when it started, but it lost me with its ridiculous portrayal of the TRC. It would have been better if the killers, or the state security forces prior to the end of apartheid, had simply destroyed evidence of their crimes and that there was no way to successfully prosecute them due to the total lack of information about who they were and specifically who they killed or targeted. It would have made much more sense that they simply got away with it during the confusion of the transition. It's not like the NIS didn't destroy numerous records near the end anyway.

The other thing that made me wonder was how are they going to prove who killed the constable? I mean, the only evidence they would have, because obviously the crime was not correctly investigated and I doubt any evidence was allowed to survive, would be the testimony of the pregnant daughter who heard her father's confession while being threatened at gunpoint by a madman. If someone had my child like that, I would confess to the Holocaust to save them. That's also assuming she would even testify or believe that her father was involved and not just saying what the crazy man wanted to hear.

I seriously doubt there would be enough evidence to force extradition or even bring charges. I hate that they had to throw in the fill good of the father getting caught at the expense of any sort of realism.

It was on these two points that the episode really broke down for me.
