The Hunt for a Killer

For such an understated production this drama had me absorbed by every episode. The whole feel and look was from the time the drama was set (1989-2004) and the unfamiliar ensemble added to to the authenticity. There are no subplots, it is just police work, illustrating the difficulty and frustrations of the job. The seedy side of life and the way some people live was cleverly filmed by getting the point across without having to be too graphic. It is all the better for being based on real events, so there are no plot holes and inconsistencies that seem to be prevalent in dramas these days.
