a well-shot and played detective in the English style, completely vital, showing that it is not superheroes or supertechnologies that actually help to catch a criminal, but tedious painstaking daily work plus the presence of stubborn caring people in the police. absolutely vital and truthfully filmed based on real events.
It is based on the memoirs of a London police detective, whose painstaking work has reduced the number of scum in the world. It's not a blockbuster, but you can watch it.
That's how it is in life. The serial killer in the movies is usually a highly intelligent psychopath playing with the investigators. But in reality, the usual cattle, smacking his wife, and having a bunch of offspring.
I understood that only the proven three were shown, and much more were mentioned in passing. Millie was only 14 years old...
As noted above, there is nothing romantic or exciting about a real investigation, people work hard and do a lot of work that will not be useful at all later, for the sake of a small, but a chance for a tiny brick in the prosecution wall.
The series will be interesting to those who are interested in how it really happens, and not in the movies.
For me, seeing Clunes in a dramatic role was as amazing as seeing Jim Carrey in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" after the mask, or Rowan Atkinson in "Maigret" after Mr. Bean. However, he did no worse than the others. Shot in gray tones. The routine of the investigation of three attacks on blondes in the same area is shown, it is unclear whether they are connected or not. Very smooth, very addictive. I like it so far. Based on real events.
