Manhunt

I appreciated the ordinary storytelling style, free of twists and tricks that commonly plague other detective shows. Sometimes you just want to watch the story without complications.

Good honest hard work. Excellent telling of the true life crime in London, every bit as watchable as any of the many "fictional" tv cops we have today.

More in this style please.

I love British crime series and this was as good as anyone I've seen. Martin played the lead role and was a fantastic, with the close support roles equally as good. Watched it all in one sitting, three episodes was perfect for telling this story.

The true story of a murder investigation that ultimately resulted in the capture of a notorious serial killer. There's no tortured detective with a single sidekick who catch the bad guy by relating evidence to opera/books/fishing/poetry 17th century mousetraps/autism but just proper police work. It's very well done.

This three part dramatisation focuses on recent tragedies, notably the killing of Amelie de la Grange back in 2004. It feels at times like a documentary, as it focuses more so on the telling of the story, the procedures, obstacles and facts of the case, never at any point does it deliver any moments of drama, nor offer up any sensationalism of the crimes. Personally I think it could have been delivered over two episodes, the second part is very padded out, and lacks any true impact. Saying that it's a sensitive telling of a harrowing case. Martin Clunes is fantastic as the unshakeable Colin Sutton, it's good that Sutton had involvement in the telling of the story.

I am so glad that people can make a TV show like this in a way that makes you feel like you've been informed as opposed to cheaply shocked.

Well made drama. 8/10
