This is an extremely disturbing but superbly produced drama series that portrays the slippery but deeply manipulative side of an horrific serial killer. But it is much much more than that. It also portrays the shocking failures and misogyny of a mainly white male police force that treated not just women in general with contempt, but their very own female police personnel.
As someone who has suffered from extensive and very damaging childhood emotional neglect, abuse and PTSD, and having a lifetime of expertise with same, I was taken aback by the superlative performance from Anna Maxwell Martin whose trauma must be extremely painful for people to watch. This is HOW you act. The subtle but highly intelligent innuendo to her earlier life - quite probably the character's own childhood emotional neglect, adding to her later horrific trauma at the hands of a serial killer - is one of many accolades that can be made for the brilliant director of this drama series.
Outside of Maxwell Martin, the acting in this drama series is of a high standard and everyone should be proud of their performances. The script writers too deserve nothing but praise.
I would warn those yet to watch this superb but equally disturbing and distressing drama series to take care as your emotions will be tested and I am sure many will shed tears throughout.
Thank You sincerely to all in the making of this superior drama series.

This is easily one of the best drama series I have seen in recent times. A first-class script that was not afraid to ask very difficult questions with a dark background of multiple mental health issues that permeated most of the characters, including Justin ( played by Michael Socha ) accused of murder.
The acting was very strong throughout with another astonishing tour-de-force performance by Michael Socha. I felt revulsion at his character but had a softening of same by the end. That he evoked such strong emotions in me is a testament to his acting masterclass. By way of reference, I wanted to hug his character in "Big Boys don't Cry" where in some scenes he moved me to tears: this is HOW you act.
The direction of this riveting and engrossing drama series is sublime as the director knows how to keep the viewer hooked from start to finish, with many plot twists that rachet up the tension to a more than fulfilling climax.
I have no hesitation in highly recommending this superb drama, and sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I did...
