Netflix has just added a true crime drama with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes

The BBC-Netflix series comes from the producers of Line of Duty.

The six-part show is based on the true story of the Lockerbie bombing, the worst-ever terror attack on British soil and the first major act of terrorism against US citizens.

On 21 December 1988, flight Pan Am 103 was en route from Heathrow to JFK when a bomb exploded in its hold over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie. 270 people died: 243 passengers, 16 crewmembers, and 11 people on the ground.

The plot synopsis for the BBC's retelling of the events reads: "The series follows the untold story of the Scots-US investigation into the attack and the devastating effect it had on the small town and the families who lost loved ones.

"The Bombing of Pan Am 103 also highlights the human impact on the investigators, the families and the Lockerbie community as it sought to rebuild and connect with bereaved families around the world."

Made by World Productions (Line of Duty, Bodyguard, Vigil), The Bombing of Pan Am 103 comes from novelist Jonathan Lee (The Great Mistake, High Dive) and filmmaker Adam Morane-Griffiths.

The latter developed the project, with the BBC stating that his research included "extensive interviews with Scottish police officers and representatives from United States investigative agencies, many of whom have never previously shared their stories".

"Producers and writers also spoke to many of the families and loved ones of the victims," the broadcaster confirmed at the time of the project's release.

Filming took place in Scotland, Malta and Toronto, and the show has a soundtrack composed by the acclaimed Scottish rock band Mogwai (ZeroZeroZero).

Holding a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing, you can read a sample of the glowing reviews for The Bombing of Pan Am 103 below:

Espinof: "It's a patient, meticulous, and deeply respectful series about the victims, finding its strength not in action scenes, but in its obsessive attempt to carefully reconstruct the truth."

Heaven of Horror: "While [his limited series] isn’t the first to focus on the Lockerbie tragedy, it is certainly a very valid addition. I especially liked how it focused so much on the human side of it. As such, we’re always remembering the people who are still living in the direct aftermath of so many lives lost."

The Hollywood Reporter: "If The Bombing of Pan Am 103 struggles to find the specific humanity of its generic characters, the impulse behind creating them in the first place -- to commemorate those departed, and those who cared about them -- cannot help but feel touchingly humane."

The Bombing of Pan Am 103 is streaming on Netflix now.
