White House Farm

It is brilliant. I knew the full story and was still on the edge of my seat. Do not miss this.

(Based on) a true story, this 6-part retelling of a notorious multiple murder case features some terrific acting (Freddie Fox as the protagonist and possible sociopath) and Mark Addy as DS Stan Jones, one of the few to be convinced of the former's guilt rather than his sister who is widely blamed.

The mechanics of the story are brilliantly handled (especially given the well-known facts of the case) and a real sense of location and, indeed, foreboding is provided by some great 'atmosphere' shots of the landscape, farm implements and other objects that earth and populate this grim tale.

Dark territory, for sure, but really well handled and impossible to look away from. Highly recommended, but certainly not for the squeamish

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.

Its slow but worth it. Great actors and well produced.

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.
