Le voleur, sa femme et le canot

Truth is stranger than fiction!

John Darwin decides to fake his own death in a canoeing accident, in order to receive the insurance money, his wife Anne reluctantly goes along with his plan.

I truly enjoyed every single minute of this four part series, if this was purely fictional, you'd be busy saying how you need to suspend your disbelief, even in part four, you'll be pinching yourself that it's based on real life events.

It's amazingly well made, it has a very realistic vibe, I particularly enjoyed the third episode.

Monica Dolan, for many years she's been my favourite actress, and let's be honest, she is captivating here as Anne, Marsan is equally brilliant as John, talk about sensational casting.

Next time you see someone walking across the road with a canoe, just wonder what they're up to.

Captivating drama, 9/10.
