A dramatisation of actual events, the deaths of Peter Farquhar and Ann Moore-Martin, two mature residents and neighbours from the small village of Maids Moreton, who both died after meeting and falling in love with a younger man, one Ben Field.
Arguably the best drama of 2023 so far, it's been a little time since I've said it, but this is truly The BBC at its very best, this is an outstanding, uncomfortable, sometimes upsetting watch.
This story was big news when it broke, it never seemed to make any sense, what this dramatisation does, is give you an almost factual detail of events, I understand that much of it was obviously dramatised, but I think they've got the core essence of what happened.
It is remarkable just how much Eanna Hardwicke looks like the real life Ben Field. His performance here was quite exceptional, and whilst I will rave about Timothy Spall and Anne Reid, Hardwicke made the whole thing come to life.
Timothy Spall should win an award for his performance, he was incredible, Anne Reid also phenomenal.
Fantastic.
9/10.

I wasn't quite sure whether to watch this or not, as I had seen the disturbing documentary on the case that had been on television recently, so I thought I was too familiar with the story for it to have any real impact.
I was wrong. This is a great production, with top-notch acting and and a marvellous script that draws you into the story and brings to life all the information that was contained in the documentary and enhancing it. I was thoroughly engrossed throughout the four episodes and the case gets more chilling the more you learn about it.
So, even if you may already feel your over-familiar with this horrific tale, I recommend that you give this series a go and it will not disappoint you.

A really good production based on the true story of an evil man and his accomplice. I wasn't aware of this case before seeing this but it's a pretty accurate encapsulation of the events.
Outstanding cast and well written script and, as it's filmed in and around Bath and Bristol, very familiar location filming for me. Tim Spall is as brilliant and understated as ever and the two perpetrators, whilst totally opposite in character, are superbly played.
The casting is absolutely perfect and there's little to criticise about the entire show other than that I'd like it to have been a little more detailed in terms of the evidence gathered by the police and the building of the prosecution case.

A well done 4 parter, despite many omissions.
But I read that many things had to be omitted , just to fit into the allocated time. But surely even 1 line of dialogue would have sufficied instead of omission.
No mention of how the murderer got hold of psychotics, or why medics would not test for psychotics on first reports of symptoms.
The weakest part for me was the portrayal of the start of the fake relationship between the murder and first victim, quite not credible , although later parts of the script partly explain.
Unclear exactly how the murderer had some hold or influence over Martyn Smith.
One puzzling thing. What is the significance of the many shots of the clock tower, and tolling bell, in the last two episodes. Wasted moments maybe could have been used for wider dialogue about the omissions.
Strong performance by all the leads, and Éanna Hardwicke is positively creepy in this role, even down to the manufactured accent, which only slips in one few-seconds scene.
Marvellous to see Anne Reid, Timothy Spall, Sheila Hancock giving their all.

This is a brilliant film based on real events.
A couple of decent elderly people who are lonely are befriended by a young male who apparently uses his charms to get into their heads.
He uses his physical attributes in a way to benefit himself to the detriment of the victims.
It is a 4 part series and a excellent production and direction.
More or less every single one in this show gives a show stopping performance.
The way the story is presented is magnificent. The characters reveal their goodness, badness and evil.
Nuanced characterizations are so well done!
It is a lesson to us all about the extent to which someone can be so wicked:
9/10.
