Chilling and superb. Masterful performance from David Tennant.
A non-US serial killer for a change. Happy to see great acting in a show for the UK.
Kinda boring. I’m a little sick of watching arrogant narcissistic serials killers raving about themselves and their exploits. You’re just a psycho buddy - nothing very interesting or special.
Horrific story really well told. Acting in it is quality
What is our fascination with accounts of murder and murderers? This drama is based on a critically acclaimed biography of the killer which was supplemented by many interviews and much research. It is not sensational and the macabre details are alluded to but not shown. It truly tries to be an account not a conclusion which is purposely left to the audience to draw. It was well cast and performed. As a David Tennant fan, I am never disappointed with his performance. I just wish he wasn’t so comfortable in the role of the villain. (Time for a light hearted role, David.) I give this miniseries an 8 (very good) out of 10. [True Crime Drama]
