White House Farm

Cannot, for the life of me, see why this would get any low ratings. Mark Addy and Stephen Graham are tremendous, the writing taut, the supporting acting way above par. Great storytelling, highly recommended.

The events at White House Farm were well documented, and notorious, who on Earth would have wanted to kill the five members of the family inside.

I would start by saying that six episodes is a stretch, it should have been done over four, it does lull a little in the middle. However it's dark, gritty and at times compelling drama.

There is a message up at the start saying that it has been dramatised, there are changes, but that's artistic license.

Freddie Fox is very good as Bamber, Mark Addy is the standout as Stan, he makes it. I adore Stephen Graham, but he is woeful in this, his accent is abysmal, at times he sounds ludicrous, why on Earth did they not cast Richard Harrington?

Ignore the ludicrous one star reviews, they obviously didn't bother watching it. 7/10.

Excellent TV drama and did the story justice. Don't be fooled by the low scored reviews, as it seems a lot of people do not realise that it's not meant to be an investigative documentary. It is a simply a drama based on the events. Well done to the entire production team and actors involved who approached this story with sensitivity and respect.

Overall a really interesting watch, albeit rather slow paced. I recommend adjusting the playback speed while watching if you need to.

I watched this drama based on numerous recommendations, I wasn't familer with the crime myself. I found it thoroughly gripping, the acting is great and the cinematography is some of the best I've seen in a TV drama, it truly creates an atmosphere full of suspense. Unlike some of the reviewers, I didn't find this to be drawn out, I thought it were the perfect length to do justice to the story. I've since since done some research into the story and thought it was accurately portrayed and well told. This is one not to be missed.

The first thirty minutes are a bit slow, but it's a rollercoaster ride from then on. I intended to watch two episodes at a time but ended up watching this in one sitting - it's that good.

As others have mentioned, Steven Graham's welsh accent is as terrible as his character's dialogue, but that's the only negative comment I have. The rest of the cast are very good and Mr. Fox is quite chilling as Jeremy Bamber.

Well worth a watch.
